Why it costs what it costs
Built slowly, so you do not have to think about it again.
A cargo bike works harder than any other bike you will own. We spend our time where that matters.
01
Triple-butted steel
Chromoly tubing, TIG-welded and aligned on a jig, then stress-relieved. Stiff under load, comfortable over cobbles, and straightforward to repair.
02
Fitted to you
We measure you in the workshop, or by video call, and cut the frame to match. Standover, reach and handlebar height are yours, not a size M.
03
Parts we can service
Standard Bosch drive units, hydraulic discs, belt or chain drive. No proprietary lock-in; any good bike shop can look after it.
04
Powder coat, oven-cured
Seven colours, applied over a zinc primer. Chip-resistant, and touch-up paint is included with every bike.
05
Lights that are part of the bike
Dynamo-fed front and rear lights, wired inside the frame. Nothing to charge, nothing to forget at home.
06
Signed and numbered
Your builder stamps their initials and your serial number on the bottom bracket. We keep your measurements on file for life.

Owners
What riders say.
“We sold the car eight months ago. The Last takes two kids, the shopping and a Christmas tree. It has not been back to the workshop for anything but its service.”
“I am 196 cm and have never sat on a bike that fits. They measured me twice, and it still feels like it was made for my body.”
“Honest about timelines, and the photos from the workshop were a lovely touch. When I asked about a repair, I was talking to the person who built it.”
Questions
Before you commit €4,000.
What does the guarantee cover?
Ten years on the frame and fork against defects in materials and workmanship. Components carry their manufacturer’s warranty, and we handle the claims for you.
Can I test ride before ordering?
Yes. Book a slot at the workshop and ride a demo of each platform. Fittings and test rides are free.
Is the deposit refundable?
Fully, until we cut your frame tubes, usually about two weeks after the deposit. After that, we keep the cost of materials only.
Do you ship outside Denmark?
We deliver within the EU, fully assembled and insured. Shipping is quoted at order, typically €190–€350.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. Many Danish employers also offer a bike benefit scheme, and we provide the paperwork for it. Finance over 12 or 24 months is available through our partner bank.
What if something breaks in ten years?
We keep your measurements and build records permanently, and we stock spares for every bike we have made. We repair, rather than replace.
Reserve
Start your build.
Tell us a little about how you ride. A builder will write back personally within two working days. No deposit is taken until you have agreed to a spec.
