Front-loading rear-steering electric bicycle

The Crossover front-loading, rear-steering electric bicycle is designed for versatile, high-value cargo transport.

The modular cargo box is perfect for grocery runs or last-mile delivery.

Delivered in compact packaging like a standard bicycle, it is easy to assemble and can be used as a regular bicycle as well. Designed to adapt across different stages of life, this bicycle offers sustainable, multi-functional mobility for every user.
