Cargo bikes that can handle whatever you throw at them

All our bikes are designed and built with car-replacement and load-carrying in mind. But if you’re looking for something that can carry substantial loads, then an electric cargo bike may well be the answer. We sell the full range of Riese & Müller cargo bikes covering a wide price range, alongside Tern’s excellent long tail cargo bikes.

Popular choices include the R&M Load and Packster box bikes, the compact Multitinker, and Tern’s versatile HSD and Quick Haul long tails.

Jargon busting: aficionados have placed cargo bikes into two broad categories: those that store their loads upfront, and those that place it at the back. Front-loading cargo bikes have been coined as ‘bakfiets’ (Dutch for ‘box bikes’) in the Netherlands, and ‘long johns’ by the Danes. While rear-loading bikes are known around the world as ‘long tails’. Riese & Müller produce models for both categories and we stock all of them.
