Du kannst alleine fahren, dein Kind oder deinen Hund mitnehmen, Einkäufe transportieren, Pakete oder sperriges Material. You can ride alone, take your child or your dog with you, transport groceries, parcels or bulky materials.

This environmentally friendly lifestyle keeps you on the move and contributes to a healthier world.

The YOONIT is a multi-use cargo bike. The frame is the basis for various usable load carriers that can be attached without tools using quick-releases. We offer models for individual needs: everyday use with family or dog, transporting large loads, for flexible transport solutions or for the racer in you. You can choose a motor for support, a chain or belt drive. You can also choose your suitable frame colour – find your YOONIT Mini Cargobike in our configurator.

The YOONIT Rack can be used to attach panniers. It is important that the bag systems have enough adjustment options so that – depending on body/shoe size – they can be positioned far enough back so that the heels do not hit the bags. The Ortlieb QL2.1 system, for example, is suitable.

The YOONIT Classic weighs 21 kg without carrier. The YOONIT Electric weighs 27 kg without carrier. The load carriers weigh between 2 kg (Smart Carrier) and 10 kg (Euro Carrier).

The range results of the drive unit cannot be generalised, as there are dependencies on battery capacity, riding style, terrain and outside temperature. The battery lasts the longest in warm temperatures and with low support. You can find more information at Shimano.

With the Shimano EP6 motor, a speed of up to 25 km/h can be reached.

If the battery is low during the ride, you can continue riding in any case, but the battery should be recharged straight away at the next opportunity. In general, you should always ride with the battery inserted – without the battery, it is not possible to shift gears and the lighting system will not work.

Upgrading a motor is not intended for a YOONIT Classic.
