Black Iron Horse Ox

The Black Iron Horse Ox is the working member of the range: a three-wheeled electric cargo trike with rear-wheel steering and a heavy-duty box built for tools, stock and trade loads rather than passengers. Lockable and ramp configurations make it a genuine last-mile alternative to a small van — one that turns in its own length and parks against a wall.

Built for the job, not the school run

The Ox is Black Iron Horse's cargo workhorse, aimed at trades and businesses. Two configurations cover most work: the Lock Box, a strong aluminium case with a lockable lid for tools and stock left unattended on site; and the Multi, with a detachable ramp for loading mowers, bins, sack trucks and awkward weights, plus a lockable compartment for smaller valuables. The box runs 95cm long by 70cm wide and 54cm deep — a genuine day's load — and because it locks, it suits last-mile delivery and tradespeople who cannot leave kit on show.

Steady under a working load

Like the Polly, the Ox steers from the rear wheel, which matters more with cargo than with children: the two front wheels stay fixed, so the steering stays light and predictable however you have packed the box, and it comes about tightly enough to work yards, service roads and pedestrianised streets a van cannot. The load sits low over 20-inch wheels for stability, and hydraulic disc brakes with a parking brake bring the whole loaded weight to a controlled, repeatable stop — the kind of thing that counts on the fortieth drop of the day. For fleets, it can be finished in any RAL colour or wrapped, so it works as livery as well as transport.

Danish-built, made to last

Black Iron Horse have built cargo trikes from precision steel in Denmark for 25 years, with steel sourced and welded in Europe and every bike checked through the workshop before it ships. The Ox runs Shimano's EP6 motor at 85Nm with a 418Wh battery and a Shimano Nexus 5-speed hub you can shift even at a standstill — handy when every junction is a loaded standing start. Lights and electronics are fitted from the factory, Schwalbe Marathon-family tyres reduce downtime, and the whole thing is designed to be serviced and kept earning rather than replaced. If it is working for your business, our workshop is here to keep it on the road.

FAQs

What is the Black Iron Horse Ox designed for?

Work, not passengers. The Ox is a cargo trike for trades, deliveries and services — tools, stock, bins, small machinery — moved through the city under electric assist. For carrying children, the Polly and Ibex are the family models in the range.

What is the difference between the Ox Lock Box and the Ox Multi?

The Lock Box is a sealed aluminium case with a lockable lid — the choice where kit is left unattended on site. The Multi has a detachable ramp for wheeling in mowers, bins and heavy awkward items, plus a lockable compartment for smaller valuables — built with gardeners and property services in mind. Same frame, motor, steering and footprint; different box.

How big is the load area, and how does it handle loaded?

The box is 95cm long, 70cm wide and 54cm deep. Because the Ox steers from the rear wheel, the steering stays light however that box is packed and the front wheels stay planted — so a heavy, uneven load handles predictably rather than fighting you. Tell us what you need to move and we will confirm it works before you order.

Can the Ox be branded for a business?

Yes — any RAL colour or a full wrap, so it carries your livery. It is a common last-mile and trade choice for exactly that reason: a working vehicle that advertises while it delivers.
