D ELIGHTFUL D IRT B IKES

Dirt Bikes was created on the basis of wanting to deliver more to the consumers of dirt bikes.

We specifically cater to the female demographic between the ages of 12-25. We thought that their wants and needs were not taken into consideration by other companies selling dirt bikes. We wanted to be that company that can focus of all its marketing.

Also we wanted to promote women’s empowerment in an activity that is male dominated.

Was founded in 2009 in Denver, Colorado.

We plan on expanding soon.

One day while bicycling down the street Rahul had an epiphany! He thought “Why don’t any motorbike companies cater specifically to young ladies who love dirt bikes?!” He came to

Katey and Emily and shared this great epiphany. They agreed that the world needed a dirt bike seller that had a target market that comprised of young women.

A few years pass and they save their pennies so they can open their company. Finally they open shop in Denver at the 16 th Street Mall on

August 24, 2009. Delightful Dirt Bikes was born .
