Filibus/front loader

The Filibus cargo bike is a special type of cargo bike that stands out thanks to its unique design. On the Filibus, the front wheel and fork are moved forward, creating a practical loading area between the handlebars and front wheel.

Compact, manoeuvrable and versatile for bulky loads

Technical features of the Filibus

The Filibus has the following technical features:

Steering system:

  • Indirect steering via a steering linkage
  • Steering linkage positioned below the loading area
  • Precise handling despite offset front wheel
  • Front wheel and fork offset to the front for optimum loading space

Compact dimensions

Filibus cargo bikes are significantly more compact than other cargo bike variants:

  • Length: 190 to 220 cm (shorter than Long John)
  • More manoeuvrable than larger cargo bike models
  • Ideal for narrow city streets and heavy traffic
