Cargo Bike

Grin All-Axle

Family

This is my do everything cargo bike. It's the extra-long "X" frame from Larry vs. Harry cargo bikes. I haul around my kids, groceries, and make deliveries for my sign fabrication business. I paired it with a front hub all-axle motor and 52v battery.

I made the cargo bin from 1" aluminum box tube and twin-wall polycarbonate for strength and lightness. I also added a voltage step-down so I could add 12v accessories like lights and a horn.

I could not be happier! Riding this bike always puts a smile on my face.

I have a low and high beam up front, as well as some pink neon underneath and on the seat tube for extra visibility when riding at night. — LED lighting

the sides fold down for the rare instance when I need to carry something very large or long. This function is still a bit of a work in progress, as I need to add limiting straps and a way to cover the danger post up front when it's in this orientation. — Cargo wings

I added some L-track under the deck and it's been a much needed upgrade for tying down cargo. I often delivery bulky parcels for shipping and require a few straps to keep things secure while riding. — L-track
