New MKS Pedals in stock on Freshtripe and in store

22 July 2021

We are super excited to have received a shipment of MKS pedals. Some only available from us in the UK!

MKS is the pedal brand of Mikashima Industrial Company Limited. The Mikashima Industrial Company was founded as an aircraft component manufacturer in 1943, converted its operations to pedal manufacturing in 1946, and was established as a limited company in 1949.

MKS has persevered when most of their competitors have failed. There was estimated to be 40 pedal manufactures in Japan in 1946, while only 2 remain today.

More pedals will arrive soon.
