Take your children to school, playground, or to the park. Go shopping. Life will be a lot simpler and much more fun with a Christiania tricycle!

SAFETY: The Christiania is the safest way to transport children on a bike:

1. You are very visible
2. Motor vehicles leave you more room
3. It gives you the confidence to ride assertively
4. The box has a very robust metal base
5. You are on three wheels, so you don’t have to balance the bike

The most common comment of Christiania parents is: “I don’t know how I would have coped without it”. Indeed a quarter of Copenhagen families with two or more children own a cargo trike. Once you have one, all your trips to school, museums, sport clubs, shopping, etc. etc. become a lot easier, and much more fun.

Your children will love the sizable square box (much more than those cramped, rounded boxes of other cargo trikes, designed to appeal to parents rather than children). Although not scientifically proven, most children prefer Christiania Bikes.

Light Classic

The Christiania Light rolls so smoothly and swiftly, it is just a pleasure to ride. Fitted generally with seven speed and coaster brake (three and eight speed are also available), and with a tight turning circle, it is surprising manoeuvrable in most urban settings. There is a range of box colours and canopy shapes and colours; see details below. Two choices of seats: a wooden bench, with optional pillow, or a soft seat; both are for two chldren and come standard with a lap-belt. For children younger than two, an additional three-point harness can be fitted. Climbing on board is aided by an aluminium step.
If you have three or four children (or if you plan to transport your children’s friends regularly), choose the straight option, so that an extra bench can be fitted.
RRP: £2282.00 (excl transport and custom charges), with seven speed, Bugatti hood, soft seat for two children and frame lock. Motor prices

H/Box +30 Long Box

The Long Box, 30cm longer than the Classic model, is for families with three or four children who want to ensure they have ample storage space for school bags, sport kits, shopping, etc.
Built exclusively in steel, it is 7 kg heavier than the light, but still rides smoothly and easily.
This is also the preferred choice for kindergartens in Scandinavia, where they seat six children in each trike for school outings.
RRP: £3020.50 (excl transport and custom charges) with seven speed, Panorama prairie hood, seating for four children and frame lock. Motor prices  (Only rearDrive available – UPDATE: now midDrive also available)

Short Box

The Short Box has been developed primarily for grandparents, for shopping trips and taking their grandchildren on rides; but of course can be considered as an option by families as well. Extremely maneuverable and stable. Aluminium frame, 25cm shorter than the Classic, box size: 63 x 62 x 50/36 cm. It has its own Bugatti hood as an option.
RRP: £2170.00 (excl transport and custom charges) with seven speed, Bugatti hood and frame lock. Soft seat for two children £112 Motor prices

2Wheeler

The 2Wheeler is for families with one or two children whose typical journeys have few interruptions, generally in a non-urban setting or with well designed cycle paths. The low centre of gravity offers great stability and the box is deeper than that of most other two-wheelers.
Equipped with 8 speed and frame lock. It uses the Bugatti hood of the Classic and comes in three frame colours: Green, Cream or Black.
Dimension of box: Bottom: 63×40; Top 87×58/46. Overall length: 2.52. Weight: 28kg. Capacity 60kg + rider.
