The E6000 Bullitt takes the standard Bullit and gives you more capability, whether that's longer rides or bigger hills. Bullitt has always been the best cargo bike for longer rides and hilly topography, it's light frame and high performance parts are the choice of bike couriers, weekend warriors and bike commuters. With the addition of the Shimano STePs E6000 motor, hills are flattened and heavy payloads are taken up the hilliest hills.

The E6000 may lack the high-performance torque and power tuning of the E8000, but it could be the more practical choice. If you're a high-performance cyclist taking the kids for a ride on the weekend, we understand how intuitive the E8000 feels. If you're a bike courier, we understand the more time you can cut off deliveries, the more deliveries you can make. But, if your kind of fast is fast enough, or you don't like the idea of racing around corners with kids in the front, the E6000 powers your payload up hills and shortens even the longest distances. And, that's the whole point of an e-assist. And, because this is the more practical of the two e-assist systems it's not surprising to see the E6000 spec'd with the Alfine 8 internal gear. The Alfine hub offers a wide 306% gear range with lower maintenance - and uses Shimano's electric Di2 shifting to trick things out.

Whether you're bungee cording wide loads to the chassis, a rubbermaid bin or opting for a Bullitt custom box this bike does point-to-point travel with maximum control and efficiency. This bike can be your everyday bike but it always has the trunk-space standing by.

BULLITT COMPANY PROFILE: Bullitt is owned by Larry and Harry and the company that owns Bullitt is called Larry Versus Harry, because they don't always agree on everything. When they do, a product like Bullitt appears - the most drool-worthy cargo bike on the market. Larry is an industry veteran in the three-wheeled Danish cargo bike market and Harry is an ex-courier and contractor who used and old Danish two-wheeled "long john" cargo bike. They both agreed that the two-wheeled cargo bike is faster than three-wheeled cargo bike and, is perfect for deliveries where time is money. So, an industry veteran and an ex-courier got together and revived the Danish "long john" (the two wheeled cargo bike is a Danish, not Dutch invention) and today it's used by DHL and families all over the world. This is, unabashedly, the best handling cargo bike on the market, and that means good handling skills are required. If you're an existing cyclist who has a small business or a small family (this bike only seats one kid), this is a cargo bike you can immediately understand. It's obsessively lightweight, uses performance parts you already love, and positions your body over the handlebars for maximum acceleration, cornering and efficiency. It's not a cargo bike for everyone, but in a world of upright, heavy, mini-van style cargo bikes, this is a high-handling and (equally) safe alternative .

Will this take up a lot of space on the road?

Nope. This is the narrowest, fastest and meanest cargo bike on the road. You can even pass in the bike lane (if you’re good).

What’s the difference between the STePS and the STePS e8000?

A lot! The Shimano STePS e8000 system is a powerful 250W motor with a powerful 70nm of torque and a massive 500W battery. It’s also light, almost 30% than similar systems from Bosch or Yamaha. If you want long battery life, crazy power under load and quick acceleration for the stops-and-starts of city riding, the E8000 is amazing. The traditional STePS model is designed for reasonable acceleration and power and works great if you’re carrying kids over hills or distance and need that extra push. It features a smaller 400W battery and 50nm of torque. Note that the traditional STePS bike uses a Shimano Alfine internal gear hub for low maintenance while the STePS E8000 uses a high-end Shimano derailleur system for lightweight, super wide-range shifting.

How does this compare to other two-wheeled cargo bikes?

Nothing compares to a Bullitt, full stop. But, it’s not for everyone. This is a cargo bike that has a definite learning curve, but that learning curve entails a human-machine connection that, when reached, is beyond words. Bullitt was designed originally for fast cargo deliveries, and this DNA lies behind its punchy acceleration and telekenetic handling. Safety and handling are deeply intertwined, so once the learning curve is mastered (takes a week) this is arguably one of the finest kid-carrying machines too. If you’re ok with a little bit of a learning curve, you’re going to love this bike.

How the heck do I buy one of these?

Unlike the non e-assist Bullitt bikes, the STePS systems are sold as complete bikes. The hard part is choosing your colour!

Can I use this bike for a business?
The original intention of the Bullitt is for business, which is why it is used by DHL throughout Europe and many courier companies throughout North America. The Bullitt frame offers endless possibilities for custom boxes and Bullitt has several turnkey options that are available anytime by special order. Email eric@curbsidecycle.comif you’re interested in discussing a Bullitt for your business or business idea.

I want to set this up for carrying a child, what’s the process?
First you need the Honeycomb Board, which is a lightweight laminated lattice-aluminum baseplate that makes the foundation. To this mounts the Foldable Seat. For impact resistance you can either choose the canopy which has an aluminum roll-bar inside. Or, you can buy the BBX panels, made of impact-resistant laminated lattice-aluminum. If you want to use the Canopy in the winter the BBX panels remove quickly, and the inverse is true if you want to use the open-air BBX panels in the Summer.

How many kids will this carry?

One. Don’t even try to carry more.

Can I store it outside?

Of course. But if you are storing it outside during the winter we strongly recommend going with the traditional Shimano STePS e-assist since it uses a low maintenance Alfine internal gear system.

Does the battery lock to the bike?
Yep. That’s one expensive chunk of Lithium Ion. It locks on to the down-tube and only you can remove it with the key provided.

How long does it take to charge the battery?

It takes five hours to charge the battery from flat to full, and there is no problem if you only charge the battery a little bit, halfway, or whatever. You’ll get over 1000 complete charges with the battery which is typically 5+ years of use before a replacement is required.

Is the unit serviceable?

You bet it is. For years the e-assist market was dominated by small fly-by-night companies with good ideas and no balance sheet. The consumer took all the risk and were often left with technical assistance phone numbers that no longer worked. Today’s systems are made by huge players like Bosch, Yamaha, and Shimano – and they are sophisticated, which means they are updateable, diagnosable, and if something does break, fundamentally repairable.

This is expensive! Will it get stolen?

Estimates are that over 90% of bicycle theft is tied to cash-for-drugs and this (unfortunately) makes every bike a target. Make sure you buy a good U-lock or a chain and your bike will be safe. You can read more about bike theft here.

What’s the warranty?

Two-year warranty for manufacturer defects on frame and fork, one year on parts. Does not include wear and tear.
