As part of our mission to make bikes more accessible to people – all people who want to ride – we’ve got a library of bikes for people to loan, so they can see if it’s the right bike for them. These long term trials are a great way of helping remove doubt for those who may need a more expensive bike than we can help them with.

As part of the Wellington City Council Climate and Sustainability Fund we received a grant to help make e-cargobikes more accessible to more people. The first part of this project is having cargobikes for families to lend to see if they suit their lifestyle*.

One is a tern GSD in “tabasco” 🌶️ (known as Sumo) 🍊.
The other is a Yuba Spicy Curry 🌶️, also in orange 🍊 (and called Clementine). Both come with locks and a number of child seating configurations.

We also have an electric trike, suitable for an adult or older child who may need more support with balance.

And a non-electric/acoustic recumbent bike, ideal for people with back issues or dysautonomia.

* Warning: once you try one we’re fairly sure you’ll want one so start saving!
