Whipme Posted August 21, 2019 Share Hi everyone, I'm looking for options for a cargo bike in SA and I can't seem to find much online other than an adult trike with a little basket: http://afritrike.co.za/products/ The reason I'm looking is because I live in a big estate and our maintenance workers currently walk everywhere, carrying their tools (spades, rakes, picks, etc). I'd like to offer them a more efficient mode of transport that actually has some cargo space. I was hoping Qhubeka made something, but I'm not sure how much you can strap to the cargo rack on the backhttps://qhubekabicycle.myshopify.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whipme Posted August 21, 2019 Share A bike trailer might be our only option in the end. Any suggestions that can carry a bit of weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORNE Posted August 21, 2019 Share Thought he wanted cargo bikes...not bobsleds???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whipme Posted August 21, 2019 Share That looks more like what we'd need in a South African setting. Especially since we mostly have dirt roads in the estate. Thanks!

Whipme Posted August 22, 2019 Share So you actually wanted an icecream bike? Ice cream bike, cargo bike, maintenance bike, all different names for similar products I know them as cargo bikes because that's what they're called in Europe, in SA they haven't really caught on as a versatile domestic product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
