Bring a little bit of Dutch style into your life and spend a little less time in the car on the school-run and shopping trip.
The Bakfiets Cargo Bike is an everyday sight in European towns and cities, especially in Holland. It's safe, sturdy and Practical!
The wooden box incorporates a folding bench (an extra one can be added) and straps to hold your children in place. Rain Covers are available to keep your cargo dry and special see-thru 'tents' are available to keep your children dry but still give them a good view of the road! (see the Bakfiets Accessory page here)
The bikes are available in 3, 7 and 8 speeds - all hub gears so not only are they wide in range but also sealed from the elements and thus 'low maintenence'. A dynamo hub and front light is also standard on all models (rear light is battery operated).Hub (roller) brakes are available on the 3,7 and 8 speed bikes .A long and short version is available so your choice is how many children you wish to transport and how much cargo you can pedal.
An electric assist Bakfiets is also available to order; it adds £1021 onto the price of a regular Bakfiets but this may be worth the while especially if you are using the Bakfiets regularly as a school run/shopping bike or a work/delivery bike. A throttle or 'pedalec' verison is available as are hydraulic brake upgrades. Please contact us for more details.
COLOURS: Red and black are easily obtainable but other colours can be ordered without too long a wait. Contact us if you'd like something other than red or black! Delivery time on Bakfiets is currently about 4-6 weeks from ordering as the factory in Holland is very busy!
