Yoonit sprung to life, as many bold new bicycle-forward ideas do, at Kickstarter, where it wowed a receptive audience with its design of a bold and oh-so-compact cargo bike.

Two years later, the Hamburg-based bicycle manufacturer is making waves with its innovative series of mini cargobikes:  The Classic and the Electric. These compact and agile cargo bikes could redefine urban transportation providing a seamless blend of style, convenience, and versatility.

Usually, when we talk about lightweight cargo bikes, it is more about long tail options. But Yoonit turns that idea on its head by creating a front-loader option that is so small it seems to defy physics. And we kinda love it.

Yoonit Classic: Agile and Lightweight

The Yoonit Classic is a compact and lightweight mini cargo bike that offers an agile frame geometry and optimized steering behavior through a steering damper to promise a smooth and enjoyable ride.

Compact Design: Measuring just 177.5 cm in length, the Classic is shorter than a regular bike, making it elevator-friendly and easily storable in your basement, garage, or even your apartment.

Versatile Load Carriers: What sets Yoonit apart is its adaptability. You can switch load carriers effortlessly using three quick-release mechanisms, allowing for various configurations to meet your specific needs. Whether it’s riding with kids or pets, hauling groceries, or attaching boxes and bags, the Classic has you covered.

Magura Hydraulic Disc Brakes: Enjoy reliable braking power for both urban and all-road adventures. Magura hydraulic disc brakes offer user-friendly operation, optimized ergonomics, and minimal maintenance.

Adjustable Steering Damper: The adjustable steering damper optimizes steering behavior, ensuring a smooth and responsive ride. You can fine-tune its intensity across nine stages to suit your preferences.

YOONIT Electric: Electrifying Riding Experience

The Yoonit Electric combines the versatility of the Classic with electrifying riding fun. Powered by the SHIMANO EP6 drive unit, it offers a smooth and powerful performance that’s perfect for urban commutes.

Electrifying Performance: The SHIMANO EP6 drive unit provides progressive power with Eco, Trail, and Boost modes, offering a silent and efficient riding experience. Whether you’re navigating city streets or venturing beyond, the YOONIT Electric delivers hassle-free rides with a power boost when needed.

Gates Carbon Drive: Say goodbye to oily, rusty chains. The Gates Carbon Drive System offers a clean, smooth, and robust alternative. The carbon-reinforced belts outlast traditional chains, require minimal maintenance, and eliminate the need for messy grease.

Switchable Load Carriers for Maximum Flexibility

Both the Classic and Electric models share a standout feature: the ability to switch load carriers effortlessly. Using three quick-release mechanisms, you can adapt your cargobike to various scenarios. Whether it’s accommodating children, pets, groceries, bottle crates, or attaching boxes and bags, Yoonit’s load carriers ensure maximum flexibility.

Final thoughts

Yoonit mini cargo bikes are an impressive new entry in the urban mobility category thanks to its compact, versatile, and electrifying options for daily commuting and transportation.
