History

Dynacraft BSC, Inc. imports and distributes various brands of bicycles, scooters, electric ride ons, and battery operated ride ons to major retailers in the United States. Its customers include large toy, department, sporting goods, and mass merchandise chains. The company markets and sells products through retailers and online. Dynacraft BSC, Inc. was formerly known as Dynacraft Industries, Inc. and changed its name to Dynacraft BSC, Inc. in June 2004. The company was incorporated in 1984, moved to San Rafael, California in 1998, and is now based in American Canyon, California. Dynacraft unveiled some of the first chainless bicycles with its Dekra line in 2006 and in 2009 launched its Sonoma Chainless Bicycle Collection. The design of the Sonoma's Chainless D-Drive uses a drive shaft to transmit power from the bike pedals to the rear wheel, eliminating the need for a chain entirely. This advanced system requires minimal maintenance, and is claimed to be cleaner, safer, and longer-lasting than the traditional bicycle chain system. The upright ergonomic design also provides increased comfort for adult riders while reducing strain on the lower back. In February 2015, Dynacraft introduced a new logo to the company. On April 21 that year Dynacraft launched their social media page on

In 1999, Dynacraft voluntarily recalled about 3,000 Magna "Great Divide," 21- speed mountain bikes, sold in the 24-inch size for girls and boys, and the 26-inch size for women and men.

The bikes have a model number on the left side of the seat post. The girls' bikes have model number 8504-50 and are purple. The boys' bikes have model number 8504-51 and are blue.
