Change the way you want

Our lives change. Children grow, we get a dog etc. Asteroid can be changed to suit your lifestyle and have developed 3 formats for Family, work and Adventure.

Family

Asteroid Bikes can be configured into a family friendly format. With 20inch (BMX format) wheels front and back, this Cargo bike is perfect for around the city. Smaller wheels on cargo bikes offers several benefits, including improved manoeuvrability for navigating tight spaces and a lower centre of gravity for better stability and handling when carrying heavy loads. BMX wheels are designed for high-impact use, making them strong and durable for cargo transport. The smaller wheel size also reduces the bike's overall weight, making it easier to handle and transport. The lower profile facilitates easier loading and unloading of cargo and is ideal for the school run and secure storage.

Adventure

Asteriod Adventure uses 26inch wheels, the old mountain bike format on the front and back. Using 26-inch mountain bike wheels on a hub steering cargo bike offers several benefits. The larger wheels provide better performance on various terrains, offering a smoother ride and higher load capacity. They also improve comfort and increase ground clearance for navigating obstacles. Additionally, 26-inch wheels provide enhanced rolling efficiency, making the bike more effective for long-distance riding. This combination enhances the cargo bike's stability and versatility for transporting goods, making it ideal for families wanting a sports utility vehicle in the weekend and a solid multi purpose work horse during the week.

Work

Asteroid Work uses the 20inch front and 26inch rear format. This is the format that commercial couriers prefer. The best of both worlds.

Smoother ride

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.

Asteroid design

Cargo Bikes have evolved from analogue, human powered, bicycles.  Cargo bikes come as either "long-tails" or "front-loaders".  Both of these formats are long and have difficult handling, compared to a normal bicycle.  

Asteroid took it further, and have engineered innovative design lead solutions.  Asteroid have developed our own hub steering system and  modular split frame.  To make steering and handling better and to resolve storage and product life-cycle issues. 

Electric Cargo Bikes are a game changer, with the ability to carry a heavier loads by bicycle, using mid-powered e-motors and derailleur or hub gears.  Combining human with electric power creates a low maintenance, high power drivetrain with and no pollutants. Consider quick, easy rides that make everyday cycling accessible to people of all fitness levels. Being practically silent increases your respect for your surroundings, whether they are other hikers, wild animals, or even your neighbours.
