Elephant Cargo Fork

News August 2025

The first prototype had some imperfections that need more focus now, so we have to run a second round. A new one should arrive in the middle of August.

In the meantime, we work on the shop integration for the website to get presales online in the end of this month. What works so far is the language selection!

Born As An Idea

Limited space, expensive space. The Elephant Cargo Fork (ECF) is the result of a product design bachelor’s degree in cargo transport by bicycle in urban areas, densely populated and hardly any open space. On this basis, a compact adapter solution for the own, previous bike was created. This avoids the double burden, financial and spatial. Through the versatile combination of several usage scenarios: the cargo bike in the commuter bike.

Individually

For bike enthusiasts in urban surroundings. Surely the ECF is not everyones piece: messengers, couriers, loving biker dudes and dudines. It’s more likely to be a possibility for a custom build, nothing standard. The kit also needs a frame, wheels, shifting, saddle, bars and all the tiny bits. Remaining keeps: Does this even fit? You probably have to have a certain passion for bikes – or you just have the right mechanic on hand. It quite a big modification on your bike, changing the fork like this. So if you’re missing the right skill, just get some help of a professional.

Versatile

Thanks the foldable platform, the bike is as wide as a standard bicycle and even so does fit a standard 600x400mm Eurobox. With many mounting points for tensioners you can fit a big variety of package-sizes. On top, folded up two smaller commuter bags can be attached to it. So all purposes are getting served.
