Cargo bikes
As a business we are committed to sustainable transport and we love cargo bikes so much, we’ve decided to start selling them ourselves. We also operate a community E-cargo bike hire project , Birmingham Gear Shift so that you can try a cargo bike for up to three months before buying it, and if it clicks with you the hire costs can be put towards a new bike.
We stock Benno, Bullitt, Bicicapace, Surly, Ridgeback, Yuba and Radkutsche cargo bikes along with a multitude of accessory options from most major brands.
The process of purchasing a bike includes a short consultation on the options available in terms of components, set-ups and accessories. We offer the CGI cycle to work scheme, and are able to consider deals for bulk company purchases. As for accessories, we can fit your cargo bike with kids seats, canopies, dynamo lighting and also offer secure lockable boxes.
Electric Bullitt
Starting from £6,413.00 for the eBullit and £3,855.00 for the original
The eBullitt has the same strong and versatile frame size of the original Bullitt. However, with two powerful Shimano motor options it makes carrying cargo so much easier. The long lasting batteries are reliable and serviceable meaning you can trust this bike to perform when you need it most. Both bikes have nine colour options and a wide range of cargo accessories which can be quoted for on request. We can vouch for Larry vs Harry bikes through and through, as we’ve been riding them ourselves the past ten years.
Choose from:
- Shimano e6100 or EP8 Motors. 5 or 11 speed Di2 internal hub gears with chain or belt drive options, or 11 speed Shimano Xt external chain drive.
- Bullit ‘original’ available with Deore drivechain or internally geared alfine set ups
Please get in touch for more pricing and options.
Benno Bikes
Starting from £4,499.00 for the Boost and £3,999.00 for the Remidemi
The Benno Boost fully loaded is the large family bike that enables you to ride with up to two kids on the back and all their stuff or other loads stored conveniently up front.
The boost fully loaded pack comes with the accessories included to get you and your family straight out for your first adventure. Benno also offer a range of other ‘Etility’ bikes including the ‘Step thru’ and smaller ‘Remi-demi’. They all come with Bosch motors, and like the Shimano engines on the Bullitts are repairable long term by us here at Birmingham Bike Foundry.
Book an appointment to speak to us in the shop about ordering a Benno and we will be able to help talk through the specification that will be best for you and be able to help you make the decision from their range and the accessories which make most sense for you.
We also have a bike on display in the shop, which you’d be welcome to test ride.
Yuba bikes
Starting from £2,740 for the Kombi E5.
As Yuba stockists we can access their wide range of ecargo bikes. The Kombi E5 can carry one or two children with childseats or inside the ‘monkey bars’ kit. It has a high quality Shimano motor and battery and Shimano hydraulic brakes.
You can read the full spec of the bike on Yuba’s website here.
This bike is available to hire through the Birmingham Gear Shift hire scheme.
Bicicapace bikes
Starting from £3,700 for the Justlong EP6 with Shimano Nexus 5 hub gears – Shimano motor and battery.
These stylish Italian bikes come with an ample 80l storage box for the front rack and can carry two children or cargo on the rear. You can read the full spec of the Justlong and the rest of Bicicapace’s range on their website here.
This bike is available to hire through the Birmingham Gear Shift hire scheme.
Cycle to work scheme
We offer cargo bikes under the Cycle to Work scheme. The scheme allows customers to pay for a bike via a salary sacrifice scheme, saving 28-47% on the price of the bike and spreading out payments over many months. The previous £1,000 limit has been removed which means that vouchers are now available for the full cost of a bike and accessories bought at the same time.
We prefer the Green Commute Initiative. You can find out more about the GCI scheme here, and find a savings calculator here.
We also work with Cycle Scheme and Vivup
