Cargo bicycles go all the way back to the early 20 century, and were used by tradesmen to deliver milk, bread, and other goods in the absence of the automobile. In Copenhagen, Denmark, bike messengers called ‘svajeres’ carted goods all around the city, and nearly every company owned at least one cargo bike to handle their deliveries.

Make a bit of a splash delivering your parcels, take-aways or even shopping with an iconic Scandi designed cargo bike.  Stylish, dependable and sustainable – it’s the best way to put your business on the map.

The Joy of Cycling

If you are going to spend serious time on your cargo bike, it’s even more important that it’s a pleasure to ride:

  • The upright riding position means no stress on lower back or shoulders – it’s as comfortable as sitting in a chair!
  • A sprung real leather Brooks saddle in a choice of three colours will gradually mould itself to your own shape giving the most perfect seat. Alternatively, a gel saddle in black or brown has a natural softness to give a great ride.
  • Top quality Schwalbe tyres are bouncy 55 mm wide to give extra suspension over bumps and lumps in the road. They come in a choice of cream or black.
  • The frame, fork, mudguards, chain guards and wheel rims can be coloured to your own specification from a choice of over 200 shades.
  • Unlike most traditional delivery bikes, we make our frames from strong but lightweight German quality steel meaning that the bike weighs only 18 kg (without extras) making it much easier to manoeuvre.

Superb Functionality

The Short John Unisex bike will turn heads but practicality and reliability have to be perfect for a work bike:

  • Shimano Nexus gears are internal and therefore low maintenance as protected from the elements and available in 1, 3 and 7 speed. The 7 gear bikes have an option of either pedal brakes or handlebar brakes.
  • Depending on what you generally need to carry, there are luggage options of Velorbis’ own designed steel rear carrier with bag hook, exclusive front wooden carrier, wooden crate (shallow or deep) or different iconic Velorbis alloy baskets so your shopping, briefcase or gym kit can be carried with ease.
  • A chain cover and leather mud flaps mean you arrive at your destination free from splashes, oil or dirt from the road.
  • The double kick-stand gives your bike extra stability when parked.
  • The tyres use anti-puncture technology and have built-in reflectors.
  • The Velorbis Short John Unisex logo bike is your perfect choice in a bike-share programme for your company. The low step-through frame makes it easy to mount for both gents and ladies and the unisex frame is a one-size-fits-all frame with extended seat post and a quick-release seat bolt, that makes this bicycle adjustable in height.
  • It is also our preferred bicycle for hotels’ bike rental schemes.

Safety First!

Safety in the workplace!  We do our best to make sure your bike is as safe and dependable as possible.

  • The upright seating position gives you a great view of your surroundings and the other traffic on the road.
  • The bike comes with the option of either battery powered or internal dynamo powered front and back lights.
  • A Ding Dong bell is included and can be coloured to whatever shade you desire.
  • The bike comes with an Axa Solid integrated frame lock with key
