Veto is a designer and builder of high performance carbon fibre cargo bikes in Alexandra, Central Otago, NZ. Each cargo bike is hand-built to order and finished with a unique ID, signed, and painted in the customer’s chosen colour.
As a company, Veto is all about challenging the status quo. We’re here to “assume nothing, question everything”, and think outside the box always. Our purpose is to provide a platform to ask these questions, make our own decisions, and incite meaningful change. We believe that cargo bikes are an amazing opportunity to promote meaningful change in NZ, hence this is our key focus.
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!
