Bullitt Original – Alfine 8 Gates

Cargo bikes outcompete cars when it comes to distances that are too far to walk and too close to drive. If you live downtown, that might not be the majority of your annual mileage, but it is the majority of your annual trips. So, why would you need an electric cargo bike? Good question! The answer is because most cargo bikes are so heavy on their own, they need a motor to neutralize their own weight.

Bullitt has been there since the beginning, and their bikes are not only bashed around by DHL, FedEx, and bike messengers worldwide, they are also as light as they are strong. It’s a bike so light that it can replace your regular bike, and yet still carry kids, groceries, and cinder blocks from Home Depot. The best thing about a Bullitt is that you can use it when you have kids, before you have kids, or even if you don’t have kids. Most cargo bikes get sold when the kids grow up. A Bullitt never stops growing with your needs. A Bullitt deconstructs North American inventions like the longtail with greater capacity and much higher safety.

This Bullitt is equipped with the Alfine 8 groupset, boasting a 307% gear ratio, and uses a Gates Belt Drive which promises 40,000km of use, no oil, and clean clothes. The disc brakes are powerful 4-piston hydraulics, and every part is chosen with an eye to low-maintenance and indestructibility. If you ride all year, carry moderate loads, and have moderate hills, this is our lowest maintenance machine for the money.
