Danish cargo bikes have been around for a century or so. There is a wealth of choice on the market but innovation - apart from using modern materials - has not been that progressive.Enter the Triobike.With it’s splendid design and brilliant flexibility, the Triobike is muscleing its way onto the international cargo bike scene. Based in the heart of Copenhagen, the Triobike is everything Danish Design is world-renowned for; simplicity, functionality and coolness.
There are many reasons why we love the Triobike. It's cool, it's different, it's three-in-one. Then there are the plusses regarding the ride - very smooth and definately comparable to other leading brands of Danish cargo bikes - and the ease of switching from one version to another. [See a film about it on their website] In short, the Triobike is an urban cargo bike hybrid dream.
We're seeing more and more on the streets in Copenhagen and the export network is growing by leaps and bounds. Pricewise, the Triobike is only marginally more expensive than competing brands like the Winther Kangaroo. Here in Denmark you're looking at about 19,000 kroner for the basic setup. [€2500 / $4000]
Still rockbottom cheap compared to a small car. The clever thing is that you can buy two bikes and one cargo bay. That way dad can drop off the kids, ride off on his bike to work and mum can pick them up on her bike in the afternoon.
Me and wifealiciousness are talking about getting a cargo bike now that we have two kids. Let's see what we end up with. Watch this space. We'll tell you all about it when it happens.
