Urban Arrow Shorty

The Urban Arrow Shorty is the most compact bike in the range — a short-wheelbase front-loader that’s quick to manoeuvre and easy to park, yet still carries a proper load up front where you can see it.

The flexible EPP box takes a child or two with belts and a rain cover, the dog, the weekly shop or a working load, and an optional weatherproof hood closes it up for deliveries. A Bosch motor, stepless Enviolo gears and a Bosch PowerPack battery — with a dual-battery option — keep it moving.

It’s the front-loader that fits real London life rather than asking the city to make room for it. Available in black or green. Browse the Shorty accessories, or come and try one for size at our Camden, Notting Hill and Hackney shops.

The compact front-loader

The Shorty has the shortest wheelbase in the Urban Arrow range, which makes it the easiest to thread through traffic, turn in tight spaces and park where a longer cargo bike won’t fit. It’s the front-loader for people who want the carrying space without the length.

The signature EPP box still sits low between the wheels, so even loaded it stays stable and easy to balance, with everything in full view ahead of you.

One bike, many jobs

The box is genuinely flexible. Carry a child or two with belts and a rain cover, bring the dog, load the weekly shop, or fill it with work gear — up to around 150 litres and 85 kg in the box. A divider can split it into two compartments for fragile and everyday items.

Add the optional weatherproof hood and the Shorty becomes a tidy delivery bike, keeping your load dry and contained on the round. It’s as happy on the school run during the week as it is working at the weekend.

Quick, nimble and easy to ride

Short, light and agile, the Shorty is the easiest Urban Arrow to live with in a busy city. The small front wheel turns quickly, the low box keeps it planted, and it’s simple to park and store where space is tight.

Hydraulic disc brakes give controlled stopping with a load on board, and the upright position keeps you visible in traffic. Most people are comfortable on it within minutes.

Made for London

In a dense city the Shorty’s compact size is the whole point — easy to filter through traffic, easy to park, and welcome everywhere a car or van is restricted. No congestion charge, no ULEZ, no fuel, and it slots into a normal parking spot.

FAQs

What can the Urban Arrow Shorty carry?

The flexible EPP box takes up to around 150 litres and 85 kg — a child or two with belts and a rain cover, the dog, the weekly shop or a working load — with a maximum gross weight of about 190 kg. A divider can split it into two compartments for fragile and everyday items.

What makes the Shorty different from the other Urban Arrows?

It’s the most compact bike in the range, with the shortest wheelbase. That makes it the easiest to manoeuvre through traffic, turn in tight spaces and park where a longer cargo bike won’t fit, while still carrying a proper load up front.

Which motor, gears and battery does the Shorty use?

Choose the Bosch Performance Line at 65 Nm for everyday city loads, or the Bosch Cargo Line at 85 Nm for heavier loads and hills. Both pair with stepless Enviolo gears, run on the Bosch Smart System, and use a Bosch PowerPack battery, with a dual-battery option for longer days.

Can I use the Shorty for business or deliveries?

Yes — it’s a popular courier and small-business bike. The compact size suits busy streets, and an optional weatherproof hood closes the box to keep deliveries dry and contained. It’s quick to load, easy to park and welcome in low- and zero-emission zones.
