Picture this: you have backpacks, and you need to get groceries on the way home. Or maybe this: you work in the trades, you bring tools to work every day, you have to travel a lot between jobs, and you live and work in a hilly area. Short John cargo bicycle by Velorbis is the answer.
Cargo bicycles goes all the way back to the early 20th century, and were used by tradesmen to deliver milk, bread, and other goods in the absence of the automobile. In Copenhagen, Denmark, bike messengers called ‘svajeres’ carted goods all around the city, and nearly every company owned at least one cargo bike to handle their deliveries.
Our Velorbis Short John cargo cycle is a re-make of the original Danish delivery bicycle from the 1930s. This Butcher’s bike was also remade in the 1980s by Danish bike builders Schmidt & Co. (S.C.O). Our Cargo bicycle is 100% made in Germany based on the old craftsmanship of lugged steel frames. This transport bike is a stunning 7 kg (18 lbs) lighter than its predecessor.
Professional corporations, organizations and councils today want to create a stress-free travel environment for their employees and encourage a healthy lifestyle through cycling initiatives that go hand-in-hand with their values and green travel plans and policies. As we all know; a healthy body equals a healthy, motivated mind. An available bicycle fleet can be viewed as a goodwill gesture with the cost often fully tax deductible for corporations, organisations and councils. VELORBIS® can help fulfill this goal. We can customise company bicycles with corporate colours, logos, and slogans, or brand messages so that the bicycles act as mobile business cards. This is a very cost-effective and carbon-friendly mobile marketing tool.
