The CargoQuad is the ideal utility vehicle for everyday use for local (and not so local) errands. Born from a customer’s request for a cycle to use as a car replacement for someone unable to hold a drivers licence or balance a bike, the delivered model has provided robust and everyday transport exceeding our expectations.

Combining ease of use, exceptional comfort, and unparalleled stability, it offers an active transport option for those wanting to transport things too big and awkward for a bike but too small to warrant a car. (Or indeed as a car replacement…) Ride in everyday clothes and shoes, and revel in the ease of use and dramatically reduced risk of a fall.

From AU$7,700 with a Bafang e-assist, Sturmey Archer IGH and two wheel drive.

The quad pictured is our development model and is in regular use. It is typical of the general layout and what can be expected as far as ride and handling. Being a custom build, the options for equipment and configuration are many and varied while keeping the same overall dimensions.

Basic build assumes:

  • Bafang 250w e-assist system
  • Internal geared hub transmission with twist grip shifter
  • Disc brakes (front only)
  • One wheel drive
  • 600 x 550mm load space (internal dimensions)
  • Recline adjustable seat with headrest

Options:

  • Transmissions: Sturmey Archer, Shimano, Enviolo, or Rohloff
  • Two wheel drive
  • Platform dimensions and configuration: flat, fixed sides, or mixed options
  • Chain gobbler
  • Frame colours

Control layouts and overall dimensions are all variables open for discussion!
