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. Cargo Bikes have an inherent wobble, due to steering play with conventional forks. "Hub-Steering" hubs do not wobble, making them ideal for Cargo Bikes.
Easy 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

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.
