Cargobike framesets
Want to build your own cargo bike, put your imagination to good use, and save on shipping costs? We want you to, too. Because you’re a little bit DIY and another little bit lazy, we sell cargobike framesets that let you harmonize your bits like never before:
ShuttleBug frameset: Designed and handbuilt in Portland of aircraft-grade chromoly steel. Cabin not included. Compatible with Gates belt drive or chain drive, and either internal (Nexus, Alfine, Rohloff, Nuvinci) or external gearing. Note: Gates compatibility with Nuvinci 360 is in development. Includes load-bearing kickstand, disc brake tabs, fender and rack mounts, eccentric bottom bracket, $2800. Add handmade, integrated rear rack, $350. Add quick-release mounts for cabin (vs. bolts through cabin floor), $200. These are made to order and thus take a little time, so reserve yours now.
Shopahaulic frameset: Heavy-duty carrier that excels at climbing. The same US-made, aircraft-grade 4130 that we use in the ShuttleBug. With bottom cargo deck, load-bearing kickstand, disc brake tabs, fender mounts, and integrated oversized rear rack, $2900. Add quick-release mounts for top rack, $200. Top rack, $375. These frames are also made to order. The racks can be custom designed for specific applications.
Custom cargo frames: Got an original idea, whether for a one-off or more? Joe Bike’s framebuilders may be able to help with prototyping and can facilitate frame strength analysis. Discretion is assured.
Standard boxbike: Hi-ten steel frame made in China. Includes bolt-on, oversized rear rack, fender mounts, load-bearing kickstand. Ecospeed mid-drive e-assist-ready. $800. Add front disc tab, $100. Add rear disc tab plus stay reinforcement, $200. Bare framesets will be in stock again by the end of June. Reserve yours now!
Yuba Mundo: As one of North America’s largest Yuba dealers, we offer framesets of the latest version of the Mundo in all available colors. All Mundos now have disc brake tabs, a welded-on rear rack, and eyelets for a frame-mounted front rack. $575. (Note: The Mundo’s dropouts are made for 14-mm-diameter axles. Adapters are available.)
Powdercoating: Except for the Mundo, the prices above do not include paint or powder. For a fee, we can have your frame powdercoated for you in any color.
