The Cargo Bike Redefined

Two Passions Collide

NOK Transporter, a NextOfKin initiative, is a redefined cargo bike resulted from the idea to amalgamate two of our passions: cycling and longboarding.

The longboard affords an additional passenger to hop on, creating a unique passenger longboard experience.

The main function of both products were to transport people, albeit in different fashions. We also observed that the current cargo bicycles were designed mainly for transporting bulky items or for kids firmly strapped to the seats in the cargo box. What if we could merge the bicycle and the longboard into a new category of cargo bikes that allowed adults to hop on and take a ride? We started by configuring the correct position of the additional frame and engineered the right length of the bicycle with the integrated long board to achieve a balance where both the experiences were not compromised. We studied the limitations of the current cargo bikes and defined new propositions where the cargo bikes could actually be customized to have a lifestyle appeal to it.

The Weekend-Dweller bike is a classic bike where you mount on your picnic baskets or duffle bags for the fantastic weekend in the village.

  • Multiple coloured fabric designs for a clean everyday transportation
  • Waived rattan and leather removable picnic basket with fabric lining.
  • Wouldn’t it be nice to go to the morning market shopping for your groceries with the steel bent alu tube design.

The designs we developed are currently in the refinement stage and we looking for any bicycle manufacturers who would like to collaborate with us to bring this new cargo bike to the market. Please drop us a note at studio@nextofkincreatives.com

The Lifestyle-Enthusiast bike converts the bicycle to a open carrier where you could transport your surfboard to the beach. composites wood carriere.
