The Bullitt cargo bike is a high-handling cargo bike in a world of cargo bikes that assume their customers are over-cautious and inexperienced as cyclists. Bullitt makes no such assumption. Their cargo bikes are a revival of the two-wheeled Danish “long john” (the two-wheeled cargo bike is a Danish invention) and it’s meant to hop curbs, maneuver tight around corners, accelerate quickly and drop off packages (or kids) quickly – because hey, time is money. This bike is all about handling, and that means the ride is as safe as your handling skills. You can ride slow-and-safe as you drop off the kids and then hammer and corner your way to work. It’s as fast as you want it to be and as safe as you want it to be.
This stripped-down Bullitt is for the user who’s got a plan, whether that means strapping cargo down to the chassis by bungee cord, buying one of Bullitts cargo-boxes on the chassis (available by special order), or throwing down a big rubbermaid container down for groceries.
The Deore system has 20 speeds with a massive 327% gear range.

Why might I consider the e-assist version?
Several reasons! First, you might carry a lot of weight up in the box, or second, you commute longer distances or have to deal with hills. When buying a cargo bike we recommend not always thinking about the short-distance errands that constitute most urban life, but also its use for all-day weekend adventures.
How does this compare to other two-wheeled cargo bikes?
Nothing compares to a Bullitt, full stop. But, it’s not for everyone. This is a cargo bike that has a bit of a learning curve, but that learning curve entails a human-machine connection that is deeply intuitive and remarkably sensitive. It makes sense that the original Bullitt design was for fast cargo deliveries, and this DNA lies behind its high performance acceleration and impressive handling. It’s the safest cargo bike for kids if you’ve got that human-machine connection dialed, because handling and safety are deeply intertwined. Anyways, it’s awesome: a parts package that would make most cyclists drool and a lightweight, very stiff aluminum frame that just feels incredible. If you’re ok with a little bit of a learning curve, you’re going to love this bike.
Can I use this bike for a business?
The original intention of the Bullitt is for business, which is why it is used by DHL throughout Europe and many courier companies throughout North America. The Bullitt frame offers endless possibilities for custom boxes and Bullitt has several turnkey options that are available anytime by special order. Email aaron@curbsidecycle if you’re interested in discussing a Bullitt for your business or business idea.
I want to set this up for carrying a child, what’s the process?
First you need the Honeycomb Board, which is a lightweight laminated lattice-aluminum baseplate that gets you started. On top of that we’ll mount the Foldable Seat. But, the child in this seat needs impact-protection, and you can do this one of two ways: the first is to buy the canopy which has an aluminum roll-bar inside to protect the child in case of an impact. The second is to buy the BBX panels, made of impact-resistant laminated lattice-aluminum. If you want to use the Canopy in the winter the BBX panels remove quickly, and the inverse is true if you want to use the open-air BBX panels in the Summer.
Can I store it outside?
Of course. But if you are storing it outside during the winter we strongly recommend going with one of the internal gear parts kit.
This is expensive! Will it get stolen?
Research shows that very few bicycle thefts are related to a bicycles value and are best defined as low-risk/low-return. A good bicycle lock is expensive to break through and takes time, thus increasing the risk and lowering the return. Make sure you buy a good Abus U-lock or a chain and you’ll be fine. You can read more about bike theft here.
What’s the warranty?
Two year warranty for manufactures defects on frame and fork, one year on parts. Does not include wear and tear.
