Altec Berlin 28inch 53cm Matt Black

The Altec Berlin has a solid side stand and a front carrier with stabilizer. The front carrier is in the same color as the bike and not only offers a nice look, but also handy extra luggage space for school bags, sports bags or shopping bags. The stabilizer ensures that your luggage remains firmly and safely in place while cycling. In addition, the sturdy side stand keeps your bike stable when you park it.

What makes the Altec Berlin truly unique among cargo bikes is the presence of 7 gears and hand brakes. Hand brakes are rare in the lower-priced cargo bike segment, so if you want both hand brakes and gears on your cargo bike, the Altec Berlin is the perfect choice. It is important to note, however, that brake pads and a derailleur gear require a bit more maintenance compared to a bike with a coaster brake and 3 gears.

In terms of material, the Altec Berlin is made of steel, which makes the bike very robust. However, it is possible that steel is susceptible to oxidation, although this can be prevented with good maintenance packages. In addition, the Altec Berlin is equipped with a ring lock to discourage theft, but it is still recommended to secure your bike with a chain lock.
