The advantages of a custom cargo bike

A custom cargo bike is the ideal way to carry your goods without compromise. No more models that are too small, too heavy or poorly suited to your needs: you choose the size, the capacity, the equipment and even the style. The result is a vehicle perfectly suited to your work and your daily life

Whether you deliver parcels, carry tools, do the shopping or take the children along, everything is designed for comfort and safety. Sturdy, practical and often cheaper than a motor vehicle, a customised cargo bike makes getting around easier while reducing your environmental impact. In short, you invest in a reliable, efficient means of transport that is truly made for you

Frame repairs, steel and aluminium welding

TIG welding

The TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) process strikes an electric arc between a tungsten electrode and the workpiece, shielded by an inert gas, argon. The filler metal is fed by hand: the beads are fine, clean and very strong, ideal for the thin tubes of steel and aluminium frames

Adaptations and modifications of your (cargo) bike

Does your longtail no longer carry children, or only from time to time? Then why not build a quickly removable platform, like the one on our Savoir fer, to gain versatility

Custom luggage racks

Whether at the front or at the rear, we can build you a custom luggage rack, entirely in stainless steel

It is time to bring colour back to our cities

At our workshop, all our bikes are painted in colour. White, grey and black simply have no place in our imagination

We believe mobility can also be joyful, creative and full of life. So why ride through all-grey cities when we can add a little colour?

Let us make our streets livelier, warmer… and above all, much more colourful!

Let’s favour short supply chains

Frames and platforms are welded in our Geneva workshop. Wheels and assembly are also done on site, and 95% of our suppliers are based in Switzerland

Painting is also subcontracted to a local craftsperson, as is the wood used in our builds

This approach lets us favour local know-how, guarantee quality manufacturing and make a real contribution to the local economy
