Flight Risk is set to officially open The Hangar, a new retail and community space located at 22 Ewan Street this Thursday 11th June in Mascot, bringing together e bikes, community engagement, youth focused safety initiatives and vintage fashion under one roof.
The launch marks a significant next chapter for the Australian business, creating a dedicated physical home for the Flight Risk community while introducing two key initiatives, the “It’s Cool Not To Die” campaign and the Return Flight capsule collection by Dan Single.
The debut of Return Flight, a vintage one-of-a-kind collection curated by Ksubi Co-Founder Dan Single, comprises of more than 300 one off vintage pieces sourced from international markets and reworked through a lens of environmental consciousness and reuse.
Available exclusively through The Hangar, the collection focuses on extending the life cycle of existing garments rather than consuming new products. Each piece has been individually sourced, creating a highly limited offering that reinforces the collection’s unique nature and scarcity.
“I have always loved making the new from the old. Whether it be interiors or clothes, coming up with design solutions to re-use what’s already existing is an exercise in creativity while doing good for the planet all in one. Two birds, one stone. I have created a clothing line of custom re-worked vintage bike wear to go alongside the main collection. It is called Return Flight. It’s rare and unique, just like you, and already worn in, so you don’t have to.” Dan Single, Return Flight Designer.
Pieces range from one off vintage leather motorcycle jackets, vintage denim jackets and vests, upcycled long sleeved vintage moto tee’s, plaid button ups, hoodies, and a core capsule of basic upcycled t-shirts. Prices across the collection, including apparel and accessories, range from $60 to $2,000 and are available only in the Mascot store.
Located within a warehouse environment in Mascot, The Hangar has been designed as more than a retail destination. The space will serve as a hub for community engagement, education, events and ongoing safety initiatives, reflecting Flight Risk’s commitment to building a culture around responsible riding and youth connection.
Flight Risk was built with safety at its core. Founded by parents of two young boys, Abe and Kura Mikhail, the mission from day one was to create something that felt fun, rebellious and full of freedom, without compromising on safety.
\While the name “Flight Risk” captures that sense of being wild at heart, it’s Abe’s obsession with technology that underpins the product. Every bike is engineered with integrated safety and smart features designed for modern riding. From built-in GPS tracking and geofencing to remote motor shut-off and visibility enhancements like front and rear blinkers.
This combination of performance, connectivity and safety is what positions Flight Risk as Australia’s most technologically advanced e-bike. Built for freedom & escape but designed to keep riders in control.
“I grew up riding bikes with my mates, that was freedom for us. Now having two boys of my own, I wanted them to grow up with that same feeling, not being stuck inside, but out on their bikes
exploring, not glued to screens. That’s what Flight Risk is about, it’s giving that sense of escape wildness & community back, but with serious safety & tech behind it.” Abe Mikhail, Founder of Flight Risk
Central to the launch is Flight Risk’s “It’s Cool Not To Die” campaign, a community focused initiative designed to promote e-bike safety in a way that resonates with youth culture. Rather than taking an overly authoritative approach, the campaign aims to make safety feel accessible, relevant and aspirational through customised helmets, gloves and safety equipment designed to be embraced rather than avoided.
The campaign builds on Flight Risk’s broader commitment to rider education and community engagement, including working on a community ride out initiative and previous Safety Days led by motocross champion Matt Moss. The workshops provide young riders and their families with a safe and controlled environment to develop riding skills, learn responsible riding practices and build confidence under expert guidance.
The campaign launch will include an upcoming third Safety Day in August, alongside customised helmets available in-store.
Flight Risk has also worked alongside Deputy Lord Mayor – Councillor Jess Miller, a strong advocate for youth e-bike safety and school-based education initiatives.
“It’s my firm view both as a parent of a teenager and as someone who once was a teenager, that being taught the skills you need is always the best path. I’m in favour of harm-minimisation, and teaching kids how to be responsible, safe and smart riders. I support any opportunity for kids to learn those skills for life, from as young as possible, so they become our good riders of the future.” says Jess Miller
Following the success of its recent Safety Day, which attracted more than 250 young riders and their families, the brand is now expanding its community-led safety program through ongoing workshops and school partnerships, with the next event planned for August.
The Hangar will continue to host community-focused activities, workshops and safety conversations as part of Flight Risk’s broader commitment to supporting young riders and will officially open to the public on the Thursday 11th June 2026.
With opening hours; Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and on weekends from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
