Cargo Bike for sale
Hello Everyone,
I am looking to sell an as-new cargobike. I purchased in October but it is a regretful purchase. Nothing wrong with the bike! just bad timing for the finances.
It is a Mk 3 cargobike - have a look at the specs: Mk3 Cargobike
Cost me $1600 for the bike, including freight, plus hours of sweat and tears to get it together and in working order.
Very nice to ride, very smooth. I have been taking my son shopping (can fit 4 children or 1 child and loads of groceries!) and to kindy.
It comes with a Netti helmet (size S/M), rain cover, bike cover, plus bolt insert thing for securing a baby capsule!
These are the coolest thing - always getting lots of attention and it is nice to see more and more popping up around Adelaide. The wheel lock plus a strong chain lock makes it very secure.
Please let me know if you or anyone you know may be interested - I am looking to sell for $1300 ONO - huge discount considering how new it is.

I haven't had any interest yet so I have decided to list the bike on eBay.
The price has been lowered to a starting price of $700. This is seriously less than half of what I paid for it only 2 months ago.
Your chance to grab a bargain though!

Doh! I was in the market for one in August. Ended up buying the Mk1. That's a superb price for the Mk3! I will spread the word on Twitter and Facebook.
Question - what sort of brakes does this thing have?

Oh that's a shame Paul! Yes I have always wanted one but 1. it isn't working out for me, I prefer the croozer trailer (just used to it I guess) and 2. hubby wasn't thrilled that I laid out this kind of cash for it and I think I've had bad feelings towards it ever since! Please do spread the word around.
I'm not an expert by any means but with the rear one you just backpedal a little and it engages. The front ones are different (the brake cable threads through a metal 'arm') but they work well. I generally only need to use the rear one anyway.

Sorry to hear that Jadie. :(
Oh, the back brake is a coaster. I am considering putting one on my Mk1 as the brakes that came with it are rubbish - so I installed calipers.

Hi there,
I have 2 questions.
1. My husband is looking to by a Mk 3 cargo bike but is 6ft 4 (193.04cm) and we are unsure wether he would actually fit on it.
Is there anyone who has one that would mind us coming along and giving it a try?
and
2. Is there any issues riding them in SA. Im aware there is a width law on bikes and the Mk 3 is a smidge wider..??
Cheers
Cathie
