The long john is the first of its kind, a truly unique longtail cargo bike designed from scratch and hand-built to order right here by Veto in Alexandra, NZ. It is fast, sturdy, and extremely comfortable to ride. Put bluntly, it’s the only bike you’ll ever need, halfway between a trail bike and a Clydesdale. The perfect blend of performance, durability and class; like Jean-Claude Van Damme and Scarlett Johansson’s imaginary lovechild. No more heavy, dorky, jarring rides, no this is the Porsche of cargo bikes. Unlike a fancy car however, this will actually save you money and help you to live more free.
Yeah you and your passengers will have a blast standing out from the crowd on this flying work of art, and be supporting a 100% local NZ business while you do it. Our goal is to get as many bums out of cars and on to cargo bikes as possible so you can enjoy all of the advantages they have to offer. So come join us, and be the change!
