CETMA Cargo bike

CETMA cargo bikes are made in Eugene, Oregon, USA. CETMA bikes are fully assembled and tested at CETMA headquarters before shipping.

Complete CETMA cargo bikes include fenders, an uncoated wood passenger box, disc brakes, puncture-resistant Schwalbe tires, and Velocity wheels. The frames are built with Co-Motion eccentric bottom brackets so you may use an internally-geared hub or external derailer. CETMA cargo bikes generally fit riders between 5' and 6'5".

Some basic assembly is required upon receipt. Bikes are generally ride-ready in less than an hour and require no special mechanical expertise to put together. They can be shipped to your favorite bike shop near you or directly to your home.

CETMA frames can be purchased alone here: http://cetmacargo.com/products/frameset

Choose your frame color, gearing, and lighting preference. Requests for custom mods are accommodated when possible.

Belt drives, rear racks, and rain canopies are usually available. Request these via email at lane@cetmacargo.com.

Note: It's not necessary to pay entirely for your bike now.  You may choose to pay an initial deposit and the rest later. Click THIS for more info.

 Design Features:

Bipartible frames

All CETMA frames are separable in the middle for shipping, storage, or travel. This feature makes the bike easy to fit in a car for travel. CETMA bikes are shipped this way and need to be put together upon receipt.

Removable passenger box

The open cargo area allows for a variety of uses. CETMA bikes can be used as a flatbed for oversized cargo, or any container can be added. Attachment points on the frame make it easy.

Eccentric bottom brackets

All CETMA bikes are built with eccentric bottom brackets, expanding the rider's choice of external derailer or internal-geared hubs. The eccentric bottom brackets on CETMA bikes are built by Co-Motion Cycles in Eugene, Oregon, USA. 

Third-party add-ons:

Rain canopies

BlaqPaks in Portland, Oregon makes very good rain canopies for CETMA bikes. Their smart design allows maximum protection from the elements and an open back for airflow and passenger access. Click HERE for the Blaq Paks website. 

Frame specifications

Components

CETMA Cargo bikes are equipped with the parts listed below. Requests for substitutions are happily accommodated when possible. Some substitutions may be necessary based on availability.

1. Passengers sit low to the ground in a protected box, away from the wheels. There's plenty of cozy room for blankets, snacks, or toys.

2. Passengers are always in safe view of the driver.

3. The low center of gravity means stable handling.  It's easy to balance.

4. The kickstand is at the driver's feet and easy to deploy. It's almost impossible to tip over a CETMA Cargo bike when the kickstand is in place.

Shipping/Lead times:

Shipping and handling costs are not included in the price of the bike.  The domestic shipping cost for CETMA bikes is $400. Upon receipt, some basic assembly is required.

You are welcome to make your own shipping arrangements or pick up your bike in person. I'm willing to deliver if you live near me and my schedule allows.

 Lead times

As of August 2024, cargo bike production shall resume after a long hiatus. Lead time is approximately eight weeks for a frame set and 12 weeks for a complete cargo bike.
