XYZ CARGO FOURWHEELER comes in handy when you need to trim a few bushes blocking the view to the sea and contribute a bit of material for the village Midsummer bonfire. Whatever works!

A 'Mobile FabLab' we made for FabCity in Hamburg some time ago - bringing local production directly to the streets!

The XYZ CARGO TRIKE in the video features a special table design and carries a 3D printer, a mobile power station, chairs and more!

See and use it at @fabcityhh !

Theo from @inspeer_org and his best friend just picked up their XYZ CARGO TRUCK

Next stop: Marseille
A rolling taco restaurant on four wheels 🌮

What matters is not just the bike.
It is the people, the ideas, and the ways of living that come with it.

Open systems.
Shared knowledge.
Built to be used, adapted, and understood.

Fewer cars - more bikes: Cruising through 'Autostadt Wolfsburg' during our exhibition there some years ago ...

We are still proud to prove: You can do everything different than the traditional (car) industry - and still succeed:

Fair, sustainable production in local micro factories - instead of running polluting mega-plants.

Accessible, affordable products for everyone - instead of squeezing out maximum profit.

Modular vehicles, easy to customize, repair and recycle - instead of following the usual one-way street of consumerism.

Design, build and ride more bikes - instead of more cars ✌

Anne and our dog Ronja helped test ride a specially built trike with wide off-road tires. It is for a customer who lives in a mountainous area and is equipped with the new motor system and special gearing. It even performed beautifully across a field! The bike is also fitted with mounts for Osprey bicycle panniers.

Cargo bikes are not only for the city. They work beautifully in the countryside too.

Too many households rely on two cars, even though one is often enough for the longer distances. Frederik, who lives here in our small village where our danish studio is located, recently chose an XYZ CARGO instead of a second car.

His family now uses it for everyday shopping, for taking the children to school in the nearby town, and for many good trips through the surrounding landscape.

For the children it makes a big difference. Instead of sitting in the back seat of a car with an iPad, they experience the landscape directly, the wind, the sounds, the changing seasons.

Sometimes a different way of moving simply gives a different way of seeing the world.

Spring has arrived!

Two special bicycles for a non-profit greengrocer in Copenhagen distributing products from small-scale regenerative farms in Zealand, and a family bicycle with a child seat for a local family. Art as part of everyday life.

XYZ CARGO started in 2010 as a contribution to a public artwork N55 had been invited to create in Belgium. Together with Till, we developed the first bicycles. Today they are part of countless situations in all sorts of corners of society. We are proud of that.

We wish you all a great closing of 2025! And a fresh start in 2026! Time to make a difference. Again. 😉

In the slideshow: A custom build XYZ CARGO trike - focusing on ‚transparency‘. We’ve build it in Hamburg for the Museum Of Fine Arts Leipzig. It features a long fold-out table and is used for citizen workshops and art events in urban space. Works in the daytime - and shines bright at night.

Looking forward to what’s coming up next! Ion & Till

Modularity is in our DNA. All our XYZ CARGO bikes can easily be adapted for any use case.

Transform for example the TRIKE, just by exchanging the top module: From Transport Bike, to Food Bike, Mobile Workshop and back - in less than a minute!

A true All-Purpose-Cargo-Bike! ✌

Food Bikes. Info Bikes. Market Cycles. Mobile Workstations or Fab Labs On Wheels.
We even developed Mobile Gardens and 'Streetformators' - bikes used to transform urban space.

And yes: We also have cargo bikes for transporting people or goods 😉

At XYZ CARGO, we build as much as possible right here in our studio – including our motor wheels.
It just makes sense: better quality control, less transport, and a closer connection to every bike we make.

At XYZ CARGO, every bike begins like this – carefully built by hand, step by step. Slow, sustainable, and made to last. #handmadebike #sustainablemobility #XYZCARGO

It’s summer! ☀️
We do not recommend this method of transporting paddleboards in urban environments —
but hey, it works just fine at the beach! 🏖️😄

In the XYZ CARGO studios, we build every single bike meticulously by hand. Locally produced, sustainable cargo bikes for any purpose. We’re happy to customise your bike to your specific needs — whether it’s for transporting children or serving as your very own street kitchen. Our building system is modular and extremely durable.

Release of Carrier Magazine on Hamburg’s Cargo Bike Culture at XYZ CARGO this Friday 13.6., 20:00:

We’re celebrating the release of Carrier Magazine Issue 02 on June 13th at XYZ CARGO in Oberhafen, Hamburg! It will be an evening of exciting insights from the makers of Carrier, quick-fire presentations, drinks & DJs and good vibes. And, of course, the magazine will be on sale, so come and support independent journalism and be the first to get your hands on a copy!

In Carrier Issue 02 there’s 24-page deep-dive article into Hamburg’s cargo bike culture, through the eyes of some of its most interesting innovators. Editor of Carrier Tom Parr will be there to introduce this, and a selection of the other pieces in the magazine.

In addition, Carrier Issue 02 is packed with stories from all over the world: Mongolia, Spain, the UK, Mali, Norway, Chile, the USA, The Philippines and more… Published by the team behind the International Cargo Bike Festival, it’s a global ride with a focus on people.

For all those who would like to present themselves or their cargo bike project on this evening, there will be a quick-fire round of short presentations (1 slide and 3 minutes speaking time per person). It’s an opportunity for people from the cargo bike scene in Hamburg to get to know each other better. Anyone involved in a cargo bike initiative or business in Hamburg – or beyond – is welcome to present. Want to take part? Contact Ollie Schwartz of Cargobike Collective via DM @cargobike.collective or e-mail on info@cargobike-collective.org
