US bike manufacturer Detroit Bikes has hired Scott Montgomery as national sales director.
Montgomery will split his time between Detroit Bikes and Nutcase helmets, where he is CEO. At Detroit, he’ll guide national retailer sales and marketing.
His career includes a long tenure with Cannondale and returning Scott Sports to North America.
“Detroit Bikes has made a lot of progress within the bike industry in a short time," Montgomery said. “They’re appealing to a broad audience of urban, commuter, hybrid and casual cyclist’s with a high quality American made bicycle.”
Detroit Bikes is continuing to expand its retailer initiatives. The rapidly growing manufacturer builds its signature bikes in a 50,000 square foot factory on the city’s west side of Detroit. Its distinctive, quality bicycles can be seen everywhere from cities and corporate campuses to bike trails and parks.
“Scott’s expertise is a very welcome addition,” said Detroit Bikes founder and president Zak Pashak. “We’re growing quickly and his experience working with companies like ours will be a big advantage.“
