Choose your Omnium cargo bike
The Danish brand Omnium makes four front-loading cargo bike families: the Cargo, the Mini-Max, the Mini and the compact Nano. The right one depends on what you carry, how much space you have at home and how you like a bike to handle.
Every Omnium uses a double-butted chromoly steel frame and an open front rack rather than a fixed box, so you can adapt the load area with webbing, a folding cargo box or your own bags. Electric versions of the Cargo and Mini-Max are also available.
