Every Lumen cargo frame is fillet-brazed from Reynolds chromoly steel, powder-coated for Baltic winters, and assembled by a single mechanic to your geometry and payload.
Each Lumen starts with one of three proven chassis geometries. From there, we size the cockpit reach, drivetrain gearing, and cargo bay hardware to your household or trade.
Our flagship front-loader. Carries two children under a storm canopy or four Euro-crates with effortless one-handed stability.
Fits into courtyard bike racks and apartment elevators. Rides with the agility of a commuter, hauls 55 kg over the front axle.
Built for bakeries, florists, toolmakers, and expedition dogs. Reinforced twin-keel chromoly frame with CNC airline L-track deck.
Mass-market aluminum cargo frames transmit harsh road chatter straight into sleeping passengers—and fatigue over decades. Our thin-wall chromoly tubing damps vibration naturally and can be repaired for life.
No twitchy geometry at low speed. We tune front trail specifically for loaded stability and fit stainless-steel sealed angular contact bearings in both headtubes.
Ride pure mechanical efficiency with a Rohloff 14-speed hub, or add a Shimano EP801 Cargo drive. Even with electric assist, the bike pedals cleanly past the 25 km/h threshold with zero drag.
No hidden dealer markups or surprise freight fees. Configure a baseline specification below—your final geometry and accessory list are refined one-on-one before brazing begins.
We build 140 bicycles per year. Ordering directly from the people holding the torch means we can adjust top-tube reach for shared family riders or wire custom lighting before paint.
Visit us on Refshaleøen for a loaded test ride, or join a 25-minute video call from anywhere in Europe. We review rider heights (including partners sharing the bike), hill grades, and storage doors.
A refundable €500 build deposit locks your production week. You receive a 1:1 CAD drawing and itemized build sheet to sign off before a single tube is mitered.
Your frame is fillet-brazed, stamped with your initials and serial number, zinc-primed, and powder-coated. Meanwhile, we hand-lace your cargo wheels in-house.
Every bike undergoes a 15 km weighted shakedown ride along Copenhagen harbor. Pick up over coffee at the workshop, or receive it fully assembled on a custom pallet at your curb.
Most of our commissions come from neighbors talking at traffic lights. Here are three bikes currently in daily service.
“We sold our station wagon the week the Nordhavn arrived. Two winters of salted Østerbro slush later, there isn't a speck of rust on a single bolt, and both kids still fall asleep under the canopy.”
“Our bakery runs 90 kg of sourdough loaves across bridges six mornings a week. An aluminum fleet bike cracked on us in 14 months; the Lumen Kastrup feels tighter today than day one.”
“I needed a bike my 162 cm wife and 191 cm self could swap in five seconds without tools, and still fit down our narrow Berlin courtyard cellar ramp. Worth every euro.”
Spending €4,000+ on a bicycle requires clarity on long-term maintenance, insurance compliance, and resale value.
No automated sales funnel. Your inquiry goes straight to Kasper and Freja on the shop floor. We reply within one working day with current lead dates and geometry recommendations.
