Try A Cargo Bike Before You Buy

Well, here you are. Contemplating adding a cargo bike to your life. Congratulations. Welcome to the cargo bike party!

Deciding which bike might be the best for your particular set of needs can be daunting. Every other day it seems like another cargo model from yet another bike brand hits the market and finding real world information can be hard to come by. The internets are full of opinions, none of which matter when thinking about how a bike will feel when YOU ride it. There is no better way to decide whether a cargo bike is for you then to use one for a day or two.

That’s why we created our Weekend Demo Program.

This program can assist you in determining whether a model you are considering buying will integrate into your lifestyle. You get to use the bike for a day or two in your neighbourhood doing normal “cargo bike” things like errands, groceries, trips to your local park - or the community centre a little further away you usually drive to.

Real-world riding experiences on a cargo bike, in your community, doing the things you want to do, in real-world conditions can help answer all kinds of questions you hadn’t even thought of yet, and is the perfect antidote to endless internet surfing, opinions, and reviews.

So, if you are getting closer to the finish line on your decision to purchase one of the cargo bike models we offer, get in touch. We do our very best to keep a handful of our favorite models from Yuba, Urban Arrow, Benno, Surly, and Omnium available for a weekend test ride.

Email us or give a call and we’ll explain how the program works. Government issued picture ID and credit card deposit required.

*Due to safety concerns, the demo program is not available when snow/ice is on the ground.*
