A2 Bikes

Job Description

Bicycle Mechanic – Part-Time, Immediate Start

A2 Bikes has a restock landing and we need an experienced mechanic to help us build and ship bikes over the next [X] weeks. If you can build a modern carbon road or tri bike from a frameset to ride-ready and you want some immediate hours, read on.

About A2
We’re a small direct-to-consumer brand in Tigard, OR making carbon fiber triathlon and road bikes. We sell two lines, the SP (triathlon) and the Rogue (road/all-road), straight to riders at a2bikes.com. Every bike gets built, tuned, and packed here before it ships. No retail floor, no walk-in repairs. Just builds.

What you’ll do

Build SP and Rogue bikes from frame and components to ride-ready, to spec and torque
Set up SRAM AXS and Shimano Di2 drivetrains, including firmware and shift tuning
Bleed and set up hydraulic disc brakes
Route internal cables and hoses through aero frames and integrated cockpits
Final QC: wheel true, headset and BB check, shift and brake check, bolt torque sign-off
Pack bikes for shipping so they arrive the way they left

What we need

2+ years in a professional shop, or equivalent experience building high-end road/tri bikes
Hands-on experience with electronic shifting (SRAM AXS or Shimano Di2) and hydraulic disc brakes
Comfortable working on carbon frames with a torque wrench and carbon paste
Can work independently off a build sheet without someone checking every step

Nice to have

Triathlon or TT bike experience (base bars, extensions, integrated front ends)
Park Tool, UBI, or similar certification
You ride road or tri and know what a good build feels like

The honest part
This is a part-time, temporary role to get us through this production batch. It is not a path to a full-time job and I don’t want to pretend otherwise. What it is: 5–30 hours a week, flexible scheduling, a small clean shop, and good pay for good work.

Pay: $[24]–$[30]/hr depending on experience
Location: Tigard, OR (on-site)
Start: Immediately

To apply: Email [ajalley@a2bikes.com] with a short note on your experience and the bikes you’ve built. A resume helps but a few sentences about your last three builds help more.

How to Apply

Send an email to AJAlley@a2bikes.com with your resume, cover letter and references.

E-Bike Mechanic

Company / Organization

Mokwheel Factory Store

Job Description

E-Bike Mechanic — Mokwheel Factory Store (Tualatin, OR) $25.00/hr · W-2 · 20–25 hrs/week to start, growing to 30+ by summer 2027

Who we are. We’re Oregon’s flagship Mokwheel dealer — “The Bike Shop That Has Your Back.” We sell fat-tire electric bikes and we take care of people from the first test ride through the follow-up call. Tualatin is our service hub: every build, every repair, every warranty claim in the state comes through this bench.

What you’ll do.

Diagnose and repair e-bikes — electrical and mechanical, not just wrenching
Own warranty diagnosis and documentation with the manufacturer
Build and quality-check new bikes before they go out the door
Talk to customers directly about what’s wrong and what it’ll cost — no service writer between you and them
Help train our build technician toward full mechanic sign-off

What we’re looking for.

Real e-bike or e-mobility experience, or strong bike mechanic experience plus genuine comfort with electrical diagnosis (motors, controllers, batteries, wiring harnesses, error codes)
Someone who can run a bench without supervision — that’s the actual job
Clear, honest customer communication
Comfortable being the only mechanic in the building

Why this job and not the one down the street. We’re a small shop opening a second Portland-area location in spring 2027. This role starts at 20–25 hours and grows to 30+ hours by summer 2027 as we open. You’d be the person who eventually holds a bench alone while the GM is at the other store — which is why we’re paying at the top of the Portland band instead of the middle. If you want to be a name on a schedule at a big shop, this isn’t it. If you want to be the mechanic, it is.

Pay & benefits. $25.00/hr, W-2. $200/month insurance stipend. Company phone. Shop tools and bench provided.

How to Apply

How to apply. No cover letter, no formal resume. Email tualatin@mokwheelstore.com with:

What you've been wrenching on and for how long
The hardest electrical diagnosis you've done — what it was and how you found it
What kind of schedule you're actually looking for, honestly

Equal opportunity employer.

Responsibilities include:
