The ten-year project

Project H is the synthesis of 10 years of experience in designing cargo bikes. A decade of technological innovations inspired by feedback from thousands of users in order to develop a range of revolutionary freight bikes.

To design and produce better, and to limit our environmental impact while maintaining the same level of quality, we have chosen to develop our methods by relying on the expertise of local companies.

H is for hexagon

Eco-design

Rethinking everything, from the start, by initiating a life cycle assessment of our historic freight bikes. By drawing up the carbon balance of a model, from its creation to its end of life, we have matured our processes and so produced the first eco-designed range of freight bikes.

Production in France

After more than two years of study, research and meetings, we are proud to announce the launch of our new cargo bike, with its various frame parts produced locally in France.
By selecting our partners according to their know-how and proximity, we are working towards the reindustrialisation of the French cycle industry.

Responsibly

By developing a moulded aluminium frame, mainly from the French recycling industry, we are taking up the challenge of sustainable production. For the polymer parts, we favour recycled materials with a low environmental impact

Anticipating

Built to last. An H range freight bike is an assembly of 17 parts, each one of which is completely independent and interchangeable. Something breaks? Replace the part, not the bike.
We have studied the composition of each sub-assembly, for optimal and easy reparability. Once the cargo bike is no longer in use, it has been designed to be easily dismantled and sorted to maximise its recyclability.

The Hêta model, a remarkable design

The Hêta model is the same length as its predecessor, the G4. However, the front platform has been increased by 50 mm to a total of 850 mm. A few precious centimetres are gained, for maximum cargo space. With a completely redesigned geometry, the Hêta is responsive and agile, capable of weaving through traffic with ease. The aluminium castings give the Hêta model an inimitable style. With its seamless frame and unique curves, our new freight bike is unlike any other.

The integration of the front steering pulley and cable assembly lighten its silhouette. The Hêta model is designed to ensure ease of maintenance and repair. All covers are removable to allow full access to the core system.

Welcome aboard

For the Hêta, the first model in the H range, we focused on the front end.
Whether travelling with one or two babies, carrying up to three children or even an adult, passengers can enjoy a ride adapted to their needs. With a body made of expanded polypropylene (EPP) and an aluminium frame, passengers are safely cocooned. Harness belts with magnetic buckles practically aid for a relaxed ride. Comfort is all around: a breathable fabric back and seat, height adjustable seats and belts, and a lowered step for easy boarding.

Enjoy the freedom to carry everything, with the oversized body featuring 300 L of capacity for 100 kg of payload.

For professionals, the extended 850 mm platform.
Fitted with a box or floor, allows more equipment to be carried than before. The rear frame of the Hêta is designed to accommodate a tow bar, increasing its carrying capacity tenfold. It is becoming the best ally of cycling logisticians.

 

One size fits all

Designed for cyclists from 1.55 m to 1.95 m, the Hêta model adapts quickly to its rider. With the adjustable Easy-up stem and the clever seat tube, adjustments are quick and precise.
The shape of the frame, with its particularly low step-over, makes it easy to access for everyone.

No compromise on safety and reliability

The Hêta model is marked out by its solidity. The frame is oversized, so that this true utility vehicle can withstand the trials of everyday life and time. With the lowest centre of gravity in its class, our freight bike remains stable in all circumstances.
Our new TEKTRO M750 brakes offer optimal power and durability. The SCHWALBE Pick Up special cargo tyres are extremely stable. They provide comfort and grip and can handle the heaviest loads. BUSCH & MÜLLER IQ-XS lighting technology provides cyclists with the same quality of light as motorists, so that they can see and be seen.

Our new kickstand provides all the stability needed to stop and gives children the freedom to get on the frame independently. When folded, it disappears completely into the thickness of the platform. In this position, nothing sticks out, meaning that it can be used on raised pavements.

Concentrated know-how

The most reliable steering in its class

In the Hêta model, we have further developed our system. The four sheathed cables have been improved to make the steering even more precise whatever the load. The steering pulleys are now integrated into the bike, while remaining accessible for maintenance. The steering is still as easy to adjust as before.

The separation into two parts

In a few minutes you can separate the rear frame from the front frame. In this way, your two-wheeler becomes radically less cumbersome. It even becomes transportable on a suitable bike rack, so that your cargo can follow you on all your trips.

Open frame

Our interface allows for several central drives such as the BAFANG M500 or the SHIMANO EP8 Cargo. This upgradeable system allows the motorisation to be changed without changing the bike. Choose programmed sustainability.
