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
