We would like to encourage the use of "Bakfiets" which is a Dutch word meaning "Boxbikes", and have therefore listed all the suppliers in Australia that offer such a bicycle. With more of these bikes on the road, we can help increase the use of bikes as a serious alternative to the car for many journeys.

You can buy 2-wheeled and 3-wheeled versions of the Cargo Bike. Tricycles have the advantage of being able to park them without needing a centre stand but in our experience don't ride and handle as well as 2-wheeled cargo bikes. It's great that Australian cyclists now have many options!

Cargo Cycles
Melbourne based Cargo Cycles supplies affordable cargo bikes made in China based on the Dutch made "Bakfiets". These bikes feature wooden front boxes like the original Dutch versions. An option for those not willing to pay $3000+ for higher quality European made models.

Countdown Cargo Bikes
Melbourne based Countdown Cargo Bikes import 3-wheeled cargo bicycles. These bikes are "affordable" versions of the Christiania bikes and are therefore a less premium version of the European made 3-wheelers.

Dutch Cargo Bike
Melbourne based Dutch Cargo Bikes import the 'Bakfiets' and 'Larry vs Harry' Bullitt cargo bikes. The Bakfiets brand are high quality sturdy Dutch made cargo bikes and are available in both 2-wheeler and 3-wheeler options. The 'Bullitt' is a light weight high performance alternative to the more traditional cargo bikes from The Netherlands.

Gazelle Cabby
We import the Dutch made Gazelle Cabby with unique patented folding box design. This 2-wheeled cargo bike won the Dutch industrial design award for 2009. It's about time Australia catches the cargo bike wave!

Kangaroo Bikes
A selection of Danish made cargo bikes and trailers available through the importer in Melbourne.

PSBikes
The 3-wheeled Danish Christiania bikes are imported by Melbourne based PSBikes. These bikes are high quality and therefore cost more than the similar looking Countdown Cargo Bikes.

If you sell cargo bicycles in Australia, please email us and I will add you onto this page. Thanks!
