BENNO REMIDEMI

Ultra-compact but capable of carrying all kinds of luggage, this utility cargo bike can be configured to lug all sorts: kids (well, one anyway), your tech bag, the weekly shop... perhaps even another RemiDemi.

The super-fat tyres offer loads of grip and comfort on rough urban roads, while the mid-mounted Bosch Performance motor offers 65nm of torque to get you shifting up hills with ease.
