How Are These Bikes Used?
Whether it's a flower-watering trike, a mobile tourist kiosk or a library bookmobile, you can lower emissions and increase exposure and efficiency with a cargo bike!
City of Toronto - Toronto, ON
THE DESIGN:
3 Babboe Bikes with custom stainless steel 'watering boxes.'
THE INITIAL PROBLEM
Allen Gardens is a downtown Toronto park full of plants and flowers and one major problem - how tdo you water the plants in a car-free landscape?
OUR SOLUTION
Together with our contractor, we consulted with the City of Toronto on a custom-built 'watering trike,' complete with a stainless steel box, water tank, hose, pump, marine battery, solar panel for charging, outboard electrical outlet, and custom branding. Two additional bikes were designed with holders for rakes, shovels, and equipment. All bikes were designed to be permanent solutions for future City of Toronto RFP's and highly scalable for other interested clients.
Province of Ontario - Across Ontario
THE DESIGN:
6 Nihola Posterbikes with custom vinyl wrap on front cylinder
THE INITIAL PROBLEM
Launched during the Covid-19 pandemic, the Government of Ontario wanted to keep people safe and outside of indoor Tourist Info Centres. So, why not bring the Tourist Centres to the people?! The Province of Ontario needed a friendly little bike that could be signalled down with lots of storage for brochures, stickers and other swag.
OUR SOLUTION
The Nihola Posterbike was designed for this! Its cylindrical front storage bin has tons of compartments (with shelving) for give-aways and its unique design makes it a real attention-getter. Best of all, its lightweight design and easy steering means it can be ridden all day. We arranged a jaw-dropping vinyl wrap full of imagery from Ontario's rugged landscape to complete the package!
City of Edmonton - Edmonton, AB
THE DESIGN:
4 Babboe bikes with e-assist, water reservoir and solar-powered pressure hose.
THE INITIAL PROBLEM
Watering city plants is a real problem of access; some plants need to be watered on sidewalks or in parks and others on the street. Without committing to a costly van to conduct such a simple task (especially since the tank is easily refillable anywhere there is a tap), how could the City of Edmonton solve this problem?
OUR SOLUTION
We sold the City of Edmonton a fleet of cargo bikes through our partner Redbike in Alberta. Together they fabricated a water reservoir in the box complete with a solar powered pressure hose to deliver water. Bikes for city services are popular in Europe, including watering and garbage clean-up.
City of Regina - Regina, SK
THE DESIGN:
1 Babboe bike with e-assist, water reservoir and solar-powered pressure hose
THE INITIAL PROBLEM
As a wintry city with a short growing season, Regina Parks takes flowers seriously, with a website that even has an interactive map that shows all the various floral presentations throughout town. But, how to water plants in a cost-effective way that doesn't block traffic?
OUR SOLUTION
After seeing the City of Edmonton buy a fleet of cargo bikes for watering flowers, the City of Regina followed suit. We sold the bike to local specialists Dutch Cycle and the City designed their own custom table-top with an interior water reservoir and a hose powered by solar energy.
City of Montreal - Montreal, QC
THE DESIGN:
6 Babboe bikes with e-assist
THE INITIAL PROBLEM
The City of Montreal wanted a way to promote healthy transportation while at the same time reaching out to physically disabled people to help with errands like battery recycling.
OUR SOLUTION
Working with Dumoulin Bicyclettes in Montreal, we sold a fleet of e-assist cargo bikes that can easily power up the steep hill to Montreal's Plateau neighbourhood and pick up recycling without blocking traffic while making a compelling statement at environmental events throughout the city.
Aurora Public Library - Aurora, ON
THE DESIGN:
x1 Babboe Bike with standard box modified with hinged countertop and two fold out leaf tables.
THE INITIAL PROBLEM
Aurora Public Library wanted to take their bookmobile off the curb and into the park and everywhere else people hang out but cars can't go into.
OUR SOLUTION
As we have done for most bikes that require a flat countertop we recommended the Babboe Dog. Our design team added a lid (on a gas damper) that could move and up and down quickly to grab storage beneath. Then, to increase countertop space we worked with our design team to build two fold-out leafs. A brilliant success, the bicycle Bookmobile has been a hit and can be seen in the summertime at parks and events.

Cycle Toronto - Toronto, ON
THE DESIGN:
x1 Bullitt STePS E-Assist bike
THE INITIAL PROBLEM
Cycle Toronto is Toronto's strongest lobby for bicycle infrastructure and runs multiple guerrilla campaigns to engage new and existing cyclists. But, how to tote around fencing, signage, tents, and supplies to each event?
OUR SOLUTION
After much consideration, Cycle Toronto decided on an e-assist Bullitt since it's the best bike for long distances staff and volunteers often have to ride. It also matches the orange of the Cycle Toronto logo! You can see the Cycle TO Bullitt all around town toting all manner of paraphenelia, from metal fencing for their popular bike valet program to T-shirts and pamphlets.
Causeway Work Centre - Ottawa, ON
THE DESIGN:
x3 Babboe Bikes with original box, painted with die-cut vinyl decals.
THE INITIAL PROBLEM
The Causeway Work Centre gives opportunity to disadvantaged people by providing employment and skills training, much of it bicycle repair. Causeway wanted to launch a program that could build and sustain an ongoing need for their employees skills while offering a service to the community. Working with local libraries, Causeway lends out cargo bikes to citizens who want to pick up groceries or wants to take friends and families out for a day in the park.
OUR SOLUTION
We supplied Causeway with a fleet of Babboe Big cargo bikes. While we usually insist that our bikes are delivered professionally built and serviced, Causeway wanted to teach new skills. We helped their mechanics as the bikes were put together - and they did a great job!
Black Creek Farms - Toronto, ON
THE DESIGN:
x2 Babboe TRANSPORTERS with vinyl wrap
THE INITIAL PROBLEM
Urban Harvest is a City funded program that works with community gardeners to share surplus fruits and veggies for distribution to local foodbanks. But, how to deliver the harvest in an expensive manner while engaging new and potential volunteers?
OUR SOLUTION
Of the all the vinyl wraps we've produced, this might be the most beautiful (and was based on a mural outside of Black Creek Farms). The two Babboe Transporters not only engage new volunteers on the streets and at events, it also visits community gardens, creating the vital link between food bank and volunteer harvesters.
Not Far From The Tree - Toronto, ON
THE DESIGN:
x15 Babboe Bikes with original box and die-cut vinyl decals.
THE INITIAL PROBLEM
Not Far From The Tree is a Toronto-based NGO that has – since 2008 – picked 127,679 pounds of fruit from homeowners who don't have time to pick their own fruit. Fruit is picked by volunteers and shared with Food Banks across the Greater Toronto Area. The organizers considered a van but they could only afford one and needed multiple areas served at a time, what to do?
OUR SOLUTION
We sold Not Far From The Tree a fleet x15 two wheeled cargo bikes for less than the cost as one van. Our graphic designer worked with their team on the graphic design and application. Today the bikes are seen everywhere around Toronto, loaded with apples, pears and apricots – a joyful sight for an organization whose mission is to give back and promote sustainable living.
Durham College - Toronto, ON
THE DESIGN:
x1 Babboe Bike using standard box with custom made table-top for flat countertop space.
THE INITIAL PROBLEM
Durham College wanted a way to engage students on issues of health (handing out condoms was one idea!) and wellness but needed a way to engage students in a compelling way while engaging them where they hang out.
OUR SOLUTION
While we seriously considered the Babboe Transporter, the lid and side-panels on the Transporter slope downwards, causing a non-flat countertop space. Instead, we used the Babboe Dog (which has squared-off side panels) and worked with our team to design a flat-top countertop insert for a small added cost.
Whether its house calls or contracting, a cargo bike cuts through gridlock and keeps appointments tight.
Bullitt
Simply legendary. No other cargo bike is used more by independent messengers and global courier companies worldwide. Durable, fast, designed by messengers. Electric and Acoustic versions available.
- Chip-resistant powdercoat finish
- Lightweight, super-stiff aluminum frame
- Option of internal or external gears
- High-powered four piston disc brakes
- No Minimum Order Quantities
- Tons of carrying boxes/options
- Adjustable riding position
- Electric Assist options available

The Animal Clinic - Toronto, ON
THE DESIGN:
x1 Bullitt Cargo Bike with Billboard and BBX side-panels with die-cut vinyl logo
THE INITIAL PROBLEM
Once upon a time, doctors and vets used to make house-calls. This changed with increasing suburban sprawl, but in dense urban cores, a house call might only be a short ride away. The Animal Clinic wanted an urban solution for house-calls. Something that could arrive on-time, without having to worry about traffic, and something that was cheaper and even better than a car.
OUR SOLUTION
Nothing slices through traffic quite like an electric-assist Bullitt cargo bike. It's narrow chassis offers tons of storage room, but gives the bike plenty of space to pass or be passed. We equipped "Farley" (yes, this bike has a name!) with Bullit's billboard and BBX sidepanels, which offered lots of branding opportunity.
Repair and Run - Across Canada
THE DESIGN:
Fleet of Bullitt Cargo Bikes with Billboard and BBX sidepanels with die-cut vinyl logo
THE INITIAL PROBLEM
Repair and Run is a Paris, France, based business with a growing footprint in Canada. Like a doctor, Repair and Run does house calls, except for your bike! They needed a durable and proven electric-assist cargo bike that met their quality standards (as mechanics!) and could make appointments on time with all tools in hand.
OUR SOLUTION
We supplied Repair and Run with the legendary Bullitt e-assist cargo bike, a bike used across their company offices in Europe and a proven standard for durability, efficiency, and quality. Since Repair and Run is operated by mechanics, they opted for the higher maintenance external XT drivetrain, partly because this drivetrain offers significantly more range (which lowers battery consumption).
Today Bike Repair - Toronto, ON
THE DESIGN:
x1 Bullitt Cargo Bike
THE INITIAL PROBLEM
A side-project of Curbside's longest serving mechanic, Chris Simonen, Today Bike Repair was originally formed to fix bikes that aren't exactly easy to transport when broken, especially cargo bikes.
OUR SOLUTION
Today Bike Repairs is under contract to Curbside Cycle and you can often see Chris swooshing about town, laden down with tools, tires, and parts, as he moves from appointment to appointment. The Bullitt is a bike mechanic and bike lovers dream. Not only is it fast and fun, it is a remarkably engineered product designed for commerci
