Veto is a designer and builder of high performance cargo bikes in Alexandra, Central Otago, NZ. Each bike is hand-built to order and finished with a unique ID, signed, and painted in the customer’s chosen colour.
Veto was established to stoke meaningful change in the world of sustainable transport and manufacturing. Driven by an innate need to challenge the status quo, we’re working to accelerate the mode shift from cars to cargo bikes, and doing so by reinventing the way carbon fibre bicycle frames are produced.
To be clear, Veto is on a mission to tackle two primary issues:
- Transport. Reduce costs, pollution, congestion, and anxiety.
- Global manufacturing. Improve supply chain resilience, support local makers, and meet local demand.
Having started in Dunedin, New Zealand in 2022, we’re developing an exciting new way of building custom bike frames using compression moulded carbon fibre and aluminium. This revolutionary approach has significant advantages including incredible design flexibility, low startup costs, and greater independence from supply chain disruptions. Check out this article if you’re curious to learn more!
Our ultimate goal is to provide a realistic alternative to car-centric transport in a way that supports local innovation, health, and community. We envision a family of bikes that will address the most common excuses to getting on a bike (“I need to pick something up”, “it’s wet outside”, and “I can’t be bothered”). This is kicking off with the “long john” longtail cargo ebike now available for sale to the public! You can find a complete list of specs and prices here (or under the ‘shop’ menu). Give me a call/message/email today if you’d like to talk it over 😀
Our motto is “be the change you want to see in the world”. So come and join us, let’s be the change!
