If you want to reduce your carbon footprint on short journeys and increase your fitness and health, there’s nothing better than leaving the car parked in the driveway and getting on your bike. But what if you need to transport your week’s shopping or your children on the school run? Bakfiets Cargo bikes are the answer:
These Dutch-made bicycles have an ingenious frame and steering mechanism that allows them to carry heavy loads in a wooden box in front of the rider, but at the same time very low to the ground. This way you can always keep an eye on your (human) cargo and have a good overview of the traffic situation at the same time. The low centre of gravity makes riding a Bakfiets as easy as riding a normal bike. The upright sitting position, the high quality saddle, and the widely spread gears guarantee a comfortable and easy ride, whatever you need to transport.
Bakfiets has changed the face of cycling in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and many other countries: their innovative concept of carrying children is now accepted world-wide as a fun, green alternative to car use. For many parents using a Bakfiets Cargo Bike is a liberating and life changing experience, especially on the school run in busy towns and cities where the volume of traffic is a big problem. Since the launch of the first model there has been continuing design development to enable you to carry babies, children, dogs, shopping, and cargo, all with ease and in safety.
For an additional charge of £1,735 to £1,965 (depending on the model), the Bakfiets can be factory-fitted with a Shimano Steps Electric Assist Drive.
Of course all Bakfiets can also be combined with our HEINZMANN retrofit kits. With a range of 20 to 50 miles (depending on road conditions and load), this turns them into the ideal transport solution for everyday use.
