For an undisclosed client we developed a new economy-cargobike with a retro-touch. The client wished for a low priced entry-level product with a range of clever add-ons. The concept features elaborated detail solutions like a fork crown with integrated steering stops, a tail that can accomodate both belt/hub and chain geared drive trains and an optional upper tube that makes the frame as suitable for very small riers as for very large ones. The design with a deep tail end and a characteristic hump in the railing is inspired cruiser bikes and the "cab-forward-design" of american vintage cars. Thanks to 25 years of experience in this field both prototypes perform admirably at first try.
