Hub Steering
Hub steering is a big part of all Asteroid Cargo Bike designs. Why? Hub steering allows the front wheel to be closer to the load, making a shorter wheelbase, which helps with steering and handling.
Why Hub Steering?
Hub steering is a big part of the Asteroid Cargo Bike design. Why? Hub steering allows the front wheel to be closer to the load, making a shorter wheelbase, which helps with steering and handling. Cargo Bikes have an inherent wobble, due to the conventional fork. "Hub-Steering" hubs do not wobble, making them ideal for Cargo Bikes.
Transportation:
This is your transport. However there are times when you cannot cycle door to door, or you want to go further afield. All Asteroid Cargo Bikes frames split for transportation and storage. This makes it easier to fit in the back of a Mini or take onto public transport.
Split-Frame
Travel further, make it an adventure. Cargo Bikes are long and difficult to store securely and transport. Asteroid Cargo Bikes have a Modular "Split-Frame" design allowing you to split the frame down for transporting on a train or plane? or just cycle it all the way, following everything from old rail trails, ghost towns from a forgotten era, or journey through landscapes around the world.
Rear Rack to Stack:
Asteroid Cargo Bikes have 3 different platforms 40cm, 60cm and 100cm at request. Asteroid developed the 40cm platform to fit into a 195cm city council bicycle lock-up. The 40cm option is shorter than most regular bicycles and will easily fit into a UK elevator. Asteroid Bikes can be stored or parked vertically, perfect for city apartments and Victorian flats.
The family Taxi
Asteroid Cargo Bikes have 2 frame options: step-through & high-top. Step-through frame makes getting on and off the bike easier for shorter riders. High-top allows for more frame storage for taller riders.
Both options have adjustable cockpits, that can easily be resized with some simple tools. Asteroid will fit riders ranging from 150cm - 195cm tall, so you can easily share this with your family
