Sundial Wire, LLC

Postby Lock » Sat Mar 05, 2011 10:38 pm

SUNDIAL WIRE has been providing beautiful, high quality, cloth covered wire since 1991. Our wire is newly manufactured wire, constructed of copper wire covered in PVC and a cotton or rayon braid. We are constantly expanding our line, adding new colors, styles, and gauges.

We currently have cotton-covered wire in five colors and rayon-covered wire in seven colors, and we are constantly adding new colors in both cotton and rayon.

We carry gauges from 22-gauge up to 12-gauge.

Sundial Wire is trying to have every product we sell made in America. Currently, all of our cloth-covered wires are made in the US and we someday hope to carry American-made plugs as well.

Alternatively, we can buy things from china, use our technology here to create superior things to sell to china (which demand a high price because they can't be made in china), and therefore bring more money to america and more items, meanwhile helping provide China with jobs as it transitions to a society with better living conditions for a billion people.

I mean.....

Citizen bikes are awesome affordable folder bikes. I think they're also made in the U.S (florida or something). http://www.citizenbike.com/about.asp
New to endless-sphere? Notice a lot of signatures recommending Ebike.ca? That's because it's the best place for a quality and manageable, (but still 'real'), first build. Justin is a solid supporter of electric bike development, and a good source of equipment.

I can see no indication on their site that any of their product has NA content.

If NA folks would stop buying cheap (low quality) product from China, China manufacturers would improve quality. It's not a Chicken-Egg thing. China is happy to sell to ignorant consumers. China makes lots of high quality stuff already.

I remember when I opened my package it said something about it being constructed in the united states. I assume the actual alloy parts were not, and it was simply assembled and welded here. You're right I couldn't find anything on their website after a quick glance, but they are definitely based in FL. More importantly, I don't respect the made in america obsession as much as other people [Im not implicating anyone, you yourself say quality would improve in china], although it's usually a motivator to buy something it's not intrinsically morally better or something. it's just often better quality, ect, not better ''because". Ok, rather than preach an annoyance at taking a (imo) misguided moral view on it (which really no one even told me, so I'm definetly preeching) I'll take a look and see if my pamphlet from the bike is somewhere home. If i don't find it, you can feel free to assume whatever, including that the bikes are not make in NA.

Bikes, cargo bikes, cycletruck., framesets
Code: Select all
Bicycles are an argument for localism. My building process reflects these ideals as best as possible: I don’t own a car and drive little, riding frames out the painter’s in Watsonville. Most all of the materials I use are sourced within the US, and some in the Bay Area. My framesets are built by hand, one at a time, slowly.

Souria Products

Postby Lock » Mon Jun 13, 2011 1:45 pm

Built with eco-friendly materials, Souriavélo respects nature and the environment. Its chassis and wheels are exclusively made of North-American red oak - a red-color hardwood. No varnish, no enamel. Strictly ecological treatment based on double-boiled linseed oil - surpassing the best wood treatment available.

AIRLESS NON-TOXIC AMERITYRE WHEELS
Souriavélo's 12 inch tires are airless. The pressure equivalence is 60 psi.
Free of any cancer causing substance, these Amerityre brand tires are made of polyurethane - the same material used for a baby's pacifier: it's safe and recyclable. Since it's also UV-proof, it won't crack over time.

All Prodeco electric bicycles are “Built in the USA”. What does this mean for the consumer? Over the past five years with the growing market in ebikes and with multiple companies’ entrance into the industry, several assembly quality issues have caused frustrating experiences for the Independent Bicycle Shops and Individual Ebike Riders. Prodeco has insisted from day one that all electric bicycles be designed, tested, prototyped, produced, and be fully assembled in the USA. This includes final quality control.

http://www.prodecotech.com/


So, all the parts, including battery and motor are built in the USA??? Or is it assembled in the USA? If it's just assembled in the USA, then all of my bikes are built in the USA also. :mrgreen:

Titus Bicycles

http://dev.titusti.com/2011/10/us-production-rolling-again/
We’re delighted to show you these behind the scenes shots from Sapa, the North American frame facility who are right this moment putting the finishing touches to the first batch of alloy Rockstar frames, the first true US production under the management and control of new Titus. Keeping US production has been a key thing for us, and we’re delighted to have the experience of Sapa behind us in driving Titus forward.

The alloy Rockstars have a modified geometry for the new run, based on feedback from riders and testers, and after they welded, heat treated, they’re going to be whisked to powdercoat in a new-blue we’ve got to show with all new decals – all made in the USA.

Patmont Motor Werks

Postby Lock » Wed Nov 23, 2011 10:06 pm

Go-Ped stand up electric scooters

Patmont Motor Werks always has, and continues to prove that high quality Go-Ped® Brand products can be made by Americans for discriminating short distance commuters everywhere and anywhere on planet Earth.

We are proud to provide jobs to the US workforce, and proud of the well educated high quality PMW "Go-Crafters" who can compete with anyone in the world.

Most scooter manufactures have moved "off shore" to produce only overseas and take advantage of low labor costs, and for generally cheaper production. Since our beginning in 1985, we at PMW have refused to take that short sighted beaten path strategy and continue to manufacture successfully in the United States.

Unfortunately, we are not able to obtain in the United States all materials and components that are needed for our high quality portable transportation products. In some cases they are simply no longer available or affordable which only then requires foreign sourcing. Patmont Motor Werks however, remains committed to providing jobs for American families, and to supporting domestic manufacturers, dealers and suppliers when and wherever possible.
