Veloe

Compact, Italian-made cargo e-bikes for London families

Veloe is an Italian cargo e-bike brand, designed and built near Milan, that makes compact bikes for carrying children and cargo without a car. The range carries up to three children or a 200 kg load, yet stays barely bigger than an ordinary bicycle — easy to ride and easy to park. Flying Dutchman is a Veloe dealer in London.

Find the right Veloe

Every Veloe is the same idea in a different form — a compact bike that carries children and cargo and adapts as life changes. The Multi is the midtail for one or two children and the smallest footprint; the Multi Lungo is the longtail, built to carry the most; and the Multi Power is the same frame without a motor, for people who’d rather pedal. Tell us how many you carry and where you ride and we’ll point you to the one that fits — all three are below.

What makes Veloe different

Every Veloe is designed, welded, painted and assembled in Italy, near Milan — a level of in-house production that's unusual in cargo bikes. The whole range is built on one lightweight chromoly steel frame with a fixed cargo rack, and the electric bikes offer a choice of Bosch or Shimano motor, so you can match the bike to how you ride and what you want to spend. A purpose-built heavy cargo kickstand holds it steady when it's loaded with children, the MIK system lets seats, racks and baskets clip on and off in seconds, and an optional Gates belt drive keeps maintenance low. Every frame carries a lifetime warranty, and bikes come in a range of standard colours or any custom RAL shade.

The Veloe range: Multi, Multi Lungo and Multi Power

Veloe is one platform in three forms. The Multi is the original midtail — a 67 cm rear rack for up to two children (three with a front seat) and a choice of Bosch or Shimano motor. The Multi Lungo is the longtail: a 77 cm rack and a 20-inch rear wheel make room for up to three children and more cargo. The Multi Power is the same compact frame without a motor, for riders who want the carrying capacity under their own steam. All three share the 200 kg maximum load and configurable gearing, transmission and colour.

A cargo bike that suits London

London is the kind of city a compact cargo bike is made for. A Veloe carries what a second car would — children, the shopping, work gear — without the parking, the congestion or the running costs, and on a frame barely longer than an ordinary bike it threads through traffic, fits in a hallway or a bike hangar, and locks up where a full-size box bike won’t.

Loaded, it stays planted and predictable. The weight sits low over the fixed rack, the wheelbase keeps it steady over potholes and dropped kerbs, and the heavy-duty kickstand holds it upright while children climb on and off at the side of the road. For a lot of families, it quietly takes over the journeys the car used to do.

Come and ride one in London

Most Veloe bikes are built to order — model, motor, gearing, transmission and colour — so the most useful thing we do is help you get the configuration right: Multi versus Lungo versus Power, Bosch versus Shimano, belt versus chain, specced around how and where you ride. We also keep some popular configurations in stock, so you can often see and ride a Veloe before you choose. Every electric Veloe includes a free first service at 500 km, and the range is eligible for Cycle to Work. Come and find us at one of our London shops.
