Shipping

We have experience shipping cargo bikes and electric bikes!

If you don't have a local dealer with the cargo or e-bike you're dreaming of, we may be able to help. And shipping may be easier and cheaper than you think.

Our Shipping Special offers affordable flat-rate shipping on fully assembled bikes to most US destinations.

Ask us if the bike you're buying qualifies (some brands and some models - sale bikes for example may not qualify) for our shipping special. If it doesn't, don't worry. We have surprisingly affordable shipping rates for our customers in the continental United States. All bikes ship fully assembled and are packed with care in a jumbo shipping carton.

Upon arrival, and once the packing material has been removed, the bike is literally ready to ride out of the box. All you'll need to do is recycle the cardboard, or help the kids make an awesome playhouse!

A customer's bike is carefully prepared for shipping.

A customer's bike is carefully prepared for shipping.

All bikes, whether cargo bike framesets or complete bikes, are too large to ship with package carriers (UPS/FedEx) so we'll ship to you using a freight carrier. Yup, that means a semi truck will be pulling up to your door to unload. No worries though, the boxes are not heavy, just big, and usually only require 2 people to unload. But, it does mean that you are required to be at your shipping address when the bike arrives. We'll provide you with tracking information once your bike ships so you can track your bike as it heads to its new home.

To see what delivery of a big bike in a big box looks like, take a look Dozer's video about the arrival, unpacking, and recycling of packing materials for a Bullitt cargo bike.

Shipping to Hawaii, Alaska, and International Destinations

Alaska and Hawaii. Shipments to Hawaii and Alaska are possible but do not qualify for our Shipping Special. Most HI and AK destination require ocean shipping which may be able to arrange, however, we will not be able to discount the shipping rate. If you provide a full shipping address we can get a quote from our logistics company and arrange for the shipment to you.

International Destinations. If you're located outside of the US,  we don't have the expertise to know the details of shipping to every country so we ask you to work with a freight forwarding company. Usually that entails us shipping to that company (located in the Continental USA) and they handle the exporting aspects of the shipment. If you need more information, please send us an email and we'll help as much as we are able.
