Xtracycle, the Tam Junction-based pioneering brand that catalyzed the cargo bike movement over 25 years ago, is revolutionizing the e-cargo bike ownership experience with a new streamlined buying process. Now, every Xtracycle bike purchase will include free shipping, professional assembly, and the brand’s signature Hooptie passenger system – adding over $1,000 value.
Xtracycle will now ship bikes free of charge and partner with local bike shops for assembly through the Beeline Connect network of independent bike dealers, or build locally in New York City and the Bay Area, where Xtracycle has locations.
“Our goal is to have the highest quality mid drive e-cargo in the business, with all the accessories you need for the next 10 years, delivered and ready to ride,” says Jamie Tibbetts, Marketing and Communications Manager at Xtracycle. “We know that once families start riding our bicycles they immediately take advantage of the convenience, value, and fun. This new approach gives our riders even greater confidence in their purchase, adding ease from the start of the buying process that carries through a lifetime of ownership.”
The now included Hooptie passenger system, featuring the innovative wrap-around kid enclosure and SnackBars, allows riders to safely transport any passenger – from toddlers to kids, teens and adults. Additionally, purchase of Xtracycle’s flagship 20 mph Swoop and Stoker models will also include a slew of cargo accessories: the PorterRack, PorterPack, MagicCarpet seat pad, and the Everyday BikePack and BoomBox bags, adding over $1,500 of value at the base model price of $3,999.
“We want our riders to get the most out of their e-cargo bike right from the start, so including the Hooptie standard with every bike maximizes versatility and utility,” says Tibbetts. “And decking out our signature 20 mph Swoop and Stoker with a full accessory package, we can plant our flag as the best in class for quality and value at under $4,000.”
