Cargo Bike Servicing

There are now more cargo bikes and trikes on the road than ever. People, families and small businesses are catching on to the fact that they’re the green, economical and fun way to get around town, transport your kids from A to B, or make your local deliveries. Our experienced and dedicated team has all the knowledge and know-how to keep your cargo bike or trike in tip top condition, and make sure riding it isn’t an uphill slog.
Our Cargo Service Plans

We’re used to working with some really niche brands including Iceni cargo trikes, Radkutsche and EAV – as well as being trained to work on Enviolo gear hub systems.
