Put simply, we love cargo bikes.

Having ridden bikes all our lives we were looking for a solution for carrying kids and cargo. We bought a fantastic long-tail getting the family moving. As our family grew, we electrified this bike allowing us to climb hills and carry more. This inspired us to start one of Otautahi’s first electric bike shops with an emphasis on cargo bikes.

BUT we really wanted a locally made cargo bike…that’s when, in 2019, Cargo Bike World began.
