In the last years, we have not only been able to exhibit our XYZ CARGO Cycles at various bike fairs but also internationally at renowned design and art exhibitions or museums. Most recently at “Futurium”, the Future Museum of the German Ministry of Education and Research.

We are pleased that our production philosophy seems to be convincing: A local and fair production of cargo bikes, especially within a construction system that easily adapts to the real needs of the users, proves to be superior to the old-fashioned mass production of one-fits-all cargo bikes in the Far East. Let’s hope others take this as a prove-of-concept that it is indeed possible to stop shipping bikes in container ships around the globe and return to local and ecological ways of production.

Impressions of our last exhibitions can be found in the slideshow.

We are now ready to offer the our new 4-wheeld versions XYZ CARGO FOURWHEELER and XYZ CARGO TRUCK. After 1 1/2 years of thorough development and tests, they can both be ordered via our website – write to: xyzspaceframevehicles@n55.dk
Both can be shipped worldwide from our factories in Copenhagen and in Hamburg.

The XYZ CARGO FOURWHEELER and the XYZ CARGO TRUCK are both designed to carry heavy and large loads. They come equipped with a strong electrical motor system and suspension.

The XYZ CARGO FOURWHEELER is a quadricycle with a recumbent riding position, resulting in low wind resistance. Its narrow design and small turning radius allows for quick maneuverability inside the city. Nonetheless it can carry goods of up to 1 Europallet in size (350 kg total weight including driver and vehicle).

The XYZ CARGO TRUCK is a 4-wheeled vehicle designed to transport even more: loads of up to 2 Euro pallets (350 kg total weight including driver and vehicle)  makes it a cargo cycle with one of the largest loading capacities available. The asymmetrical, upright riding position keeps the overall dimensions compact: Standard width x length only measure 120cm x 235cm.

The XYZ CARGO FOURWHEELER and the XYZ CARGO TRUCK both can be used for logistics or customized for any other purpose: A wide range of functional modules are avilable, transforming them to streetfood cycles, mobile space units or vehicles for any other purpose.

XYZ CARGO TRUCK: from 5850EU / 43.500DKK (incl. VAT)

XYZ CARGO was invited to join the awesome POC21 in Paris. We will go there for several weeks as one of the supporting organisations, contributing our share to building solutions for a better future. Read more about it here: “POC21 is an innovation camp to prototype the fossil free, zero waste society. 100+ makers, designers, engineers, scientists and geeks will join forces for five immersive weeks in a stunning french castle. Their ultimate goal: Overcome our destructive consumer culture and make open-source, sustainable products the new normal.” www.poc21.cc 

XYZ CARGO has just finished two XYZ CARGO building workshops in Germany:

Students from the Academy Of Media Arts Cologne / Prof. Vogelaar have learned how to build and customize their own XYZ CARGO. A follow-up development session with a focus on interactive, mobile room units is already planned for summer 2015 – stay tuned!

The week before people from Potsdam’s Projekthaus and from different FabLabs learned how to build their own XYZ CARGO during the annual ‘Verbundstreffen Offener Werkstätten’. See a short documentation video of Projekthaus-coordinator B. Maltry here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jU8wYd769M4

The next workshop for self-builders in Hamburg’s XYZ CARGO studio will be in March 2015 – you can pre-register by writing to: till@n55.dk . Workshops in Copenhagen (in spring 2015) can be booked by writing to: n55@n55.dk

Of course: Those with only a craving for a smooth ride can also just purchase a ready-made XYZ CARGOs by writing to: xyzspaceframevehilces@n55.dk

We have redesigned the XYZ TWOSEATER completely and introduced all the relevant details and technical innovations that we have developed over the last three years. We are happy to receive orders already now but the first ones will  be delivered in March 2015.
We have also designed raincovers for the XYZ CARGO TRIKE and the XYZ CARGO BIKE. The protyping is finished and production will start soon. They will be ready for purchase in March.
