Nomad Cargo

We have fully redesigned the nomad cargo wood box. It’s been greatly simplified to lower cost and speed up production. The new box has the same seat and belts as the old design. It’s made from 9 MM Baltic birch plywood. The back panel, floor panel and forward panel are bolted to the bike. The sides and seat the held in place with a stainless steel buckle ratchet strap. So this box gives you the ability to remove the sides and the seat. Which gives you a bike with an open cargo deck for larger loads. If you would like one of the new boxes? Please contact us for pricing.

The new design for the packster 80 is complete. We built 4 of these currier boxes back in February. 3 of them went to a customer in Seattle to use as a by bike maid service. If you are in the market for a Riese & Muller Packster 80 lockable metal box? Please contact us for pricing.

We received a brand new Bullitt Lizard King From Splendid Cycles on Sunday. This bike will be used for development of our boxes and related products. We installed our 3 prototype of the CNC router cut wood box. It also has laser cut images of Mt Hood with sunlight on one side and Moonlight on the other side.

We are expanding into building wood boxes for Bullitt cargo bikes. Kevin Takalo and Steven Fan have been working with the folks at Splendid cycles to create a wood box. That is intirely machined using our new CNC router table. Steven Fan designed the box in Cad. Kevin takalo did all the assembly and finish work. as well as working through all the dificulties of manufacturing. The first prototype has 2 mitered corners on the front lower edge. The second one has a radius. We kerf cut the inside of the lower panel. So it would make the bend. This was pretty challenging. We have sense been able to make the bend without kerf cutting. We soaked the panel and then used a propane torch to apply heat to the panel through a peice of matal. With the wood wraped in a wet cloth. The second prototype is very nice looking. It weighs roughly 17 pounds. Much lighter than pervoius versions. once the cad design is finalized. we expect to drasitcally reduce the time it takes to make these cargo boxes. As well as reduce the price. We also deliver the completed boxes by bike.
