Yes Virginia, There Is a Production Folding Cargo Bike in San Francisco



Colaboration between Tern and Xtracycle yields world's first folding cargo bike.

CargoJoe - the world's first production folding cargo bike, representing a partnership between Xtracycle and Tern, a premier folding bike manufacturer. Cargo Joe is a full featured cargo bike that fits where you need it to - it will fit on transit, fit in the back of your Prius, fit in your apartment, or fit in your office.

Cargo Joe Facts and Features

Warm Planet has added the Cargo Joe to our extensive line of folding and cargo bikes after seeing the incredible feature package being offered.  Cargo Joe features a 21-speed Shimano drivetrain, linear-pull brakes, lightweight alloy parts, and a steel front fork. The CargoJoe also features Xtracycle's bolt-on FreeRadical Classic, which includes 6000 series alloy cargo racks, our 100% recycled HDPE FlightDeck and quality FreeLoader Cargo bags. Tern and Xtracycle have teamed to offer this complete cargo bike for only $999. Adding a PeaPod III child carrier to the CargoJoe would add $270 to the final cost.

An Unbeatable Value, With A Few Tricks Up Its Sleeve

We believe CargoJoe, at under $1300 for a full family cargo bike, is a unique value in the LongTail marketplace. The folding aspect goes largely unnoticed until you need it - take CargoJoe with you on the train, or throw it in the back of the car as you head out for a weekend camping trip. Worried about parking your brand-new cargo bike outside? Bring it inside and park it in your cubicle. Cargo Joe just fits.

Shipping and Assembly Details

Cargo Joe ships for about $50 to your nearest dealer. To give you the best possible ride these bikes ship to either a Tern or Xtracycle dealers for assembly and tuning.
