The Bullitt Cargo Bike - Bike Review

Talk about a cool bike! The Larry vs. Harry "Bullitt" Cargo Bike is one of the coolest bikes on the market. Extremely versatile - in more ways than you can imagine. My brother-in-law, Gary, owns one of these bikes so, we decided to check it out. See what you think!
Gary's bikes were purchased from Kasper's Cargos - [e-mail]

As a Dutchman, i have to salute this courageous man for riding his bike to work! Been in Florida myself i can honestly say that that is NOT the most bicycle place on earth... But hey i live in a "woke "country.

I showed this to Gary. He smiled and chuckled. Thanks so much for watching!

Big fans of the editing...super video!

[@TroyandAndrea]

Thank you so much! Thank you for watching!

Now that's a cool bike.

[@gepardtilly]

How did you mount the rear rack behind the seatpost? I didn't find a good adapter yet.

[@benjulian1]

Thanks for the video Troy! Could you share the components that comprise your triple handle bar positions? I'd like to get the same setup for my cargo bike.

[@TroyandAndrea]

Hi Ben! Gary said he used: Profile Designs Jammer GT Aero Bars; with Ergon GA3 Grips; and Profile Designs Boxer bar ends to make that combination. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

Very cool

Thank you! And thanks for watching!

Thanks for sharing this episode. It's inspiriting. May I ask the best possible drive chain option attaching to a Bullitt cargo bike, please? The reason behind this question is that, in my original thought, I'd like to duplicate my tri-bike's 2*11 system to the non-electric Bullitt directly. It's a QUARQ power meter crank with 50-34 chain front, and 11-34 freewheel in the back. If this works, I could have a power reference between my tri-bike and Bullitt cargo bike on the same hilly road course. Looking forward to hearing from your pro opinion. Cheers.

[@TroyandAndrea]

Hi! Thanks for the comment. I asked Gary his thoughts and he said he thinks your plan would work, if you use the appropriate bottom bracket with English thread, 68mm
He wasn't sure about that gearing however, unless the bike’s use is predominantly on flat ground, and not carrying a lot of weight.
He currently runs a 40 tooth large chain ring on one of his bullits and the other has a 42.
If you’re looking to go fast and really not carry all that much stuff, then the 50 would be fine.
Thanks for watching!

@@TroyandAndrea Thank YOU very much for these detailed clarification. That's exactly what I've been trying to clear my doubts. (Sorry to reply late. The place I'm staying is limited to access into TH-cam from time to time)

[@100toeface]

My question is, how hard is it to actually pedal versus other lighter bicycles? I'm worried that it might be too heavy to be enjoyable, especially with a lot of touring gear in the front and no e-assist.

[@TroyandAndrea]

Considering that hundreds of these bikes are used all over the Netherlands for every type of cargo imaginable, I'd say that proves they are just as capable. That being said, it's certainly not the bike for everyone - base your decision off of personal preference. Thanks for watching!

[@tzed2509]

The frameset (frame, fork, steering arm, etc) weighs about 30 pounds so you can compare that o other bikes

[@Alvio64]

The gearing will be lower so it probably won't be any more difficult to move, but if you want to be riding at the same speed as on your racing bike then you might be disappointed.

[@tzed2509]

@@Alvio64 Could put a triple crank on it if worried about getting a heavier bike uphill, that's what the touring folk do

[@jonamcc]

if you live in a relatively flat place (Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Florida, Phoenix, etc), you'll be surprised at how little the weight keeps you back. If you live in a hilly city, you'll definitely feeling the weight, and you might wanna check out the ebike version.

[@billyjones858]

Would like to see how the steering works.

[@TroyandAndrea]

Hi Billy! I found this video that shows a little about the steering:

Here is a clip of the steering, th-cam.com/video/pTblIzynZyI/w-d-xo.html

[@TheHoodGuru]

Very cool. Its kinda hard to see somebody riding one. Most just show the bike stationary.

[@TroyandAndrea]

Hey thanks! Yes, that’s true, so we wanted to give a few more views of it on the road. Here’s another video of the same bike on afternoon ride: th-cam.com/video/b3saWDPrPNY/w-d-xo.html

[@TheHoodGuru]

@@TroyandAndrea Typo in my post. But thanks. I meant to say something like "its hard to find videos of someone riding one of these".

[@nickb.6264]

How about the whole bike weight?

[@TroyandAndrea]

Appreciate your question! The frame starts at 22.3 kg and is designed to carry up to 180 kg! I know that sounds rather heavy for a typical bike, but this isn’t typical. Instead it’s indication of its main purpose and good design. Just for transparency, if the primary concern is weight, then this probably is not the bike for such a cyclist. This is one of those bikes you have to ride and feel to really appreciate what it’s capable of doing. Thanks so much watching!

[@nickb.6264]

@@TroyandAndrea Wow 180 kg capacity??? It can relocate my 2 storey house 😮

[@TroyandAndrea]

@@mk1972 I'm sorry, I don't know - the width and depth were small enough to fit in the cargo space. That's all I know - sorry I couldn't be of better help.
