Our Brooklyn cargo bike fleet
Hudson Shipping Co runs a 100% electric pedal-assist Brooklyn cargo bike fleet with two models. The Venture carries enclosed, secure loads; the new Flatbed takes the oversized freight a box can't. Pick by what you're moving.
Venture
- Box width
- 34 in 86.3 cm
- Box height
- 21 in 53.3 cm
- Box length
- 34 in 86.3 cm
- Drive
- Electric pedal-assist
Our smaller, everyday model. A fully enclosed box keeps parcels dry, hidden and secure across dense multi-stop routes — the right tool for the bulk of last-mile deliveries.
- Parcels, totes and bagged goods
- High-stop-count routes
- Weather-sensitive or high-value items
- Anything that needs to stay locked and out of sight
Need a little more room? Mounting a box on top adds roughly 2 cubic feet — about 15 ft3 in total — with no change to the bike itself. A simple option that covers many customers.
Flatbed
New
- Bed length
- 5 ft 1.52 m
- Bed width
- 38 in 96.5 cm
- Usable deck
- 50 in 1.27 m
- Deck profile
- Flat with side rails open sides
- Drive
- Electric pedal-assist
Our new model we assembled ourselves. An open, low flatbed can handle long, bulky, palletized or awkwardly shaped freight that needs to be strapped down rather than packed in.
- Oversized, long or irregular items
- Palletized and stacked freight
- Furniture, building materials, equipment
- Loads that are easier to strap than to box
