The Story of our Name

In case you are curious, our name Kinn was inspired by two words:

      – kin  meaning family or clan, and
      – kinetic meaning related to motion.


Unfortunately KinKinectic was quite a mouthful and KineticKin sounded like a cartoon character.  So, late one caffeinated winter evening we simply doubled up the ‘n’ in kin to represent the double meaning and … it looked good.

So we adopted kinn to mean “family in motion”, named our enterprise Kinn Bikes and drank the rest of our coffee in contemplative silence.
