From a tent to a solar panel or grocery crates — everything mounts securely and effortlessly. With its generous cargo capacity, this bike is built for journeys where nothing is left to chance. The Santos Adventure Cargo Bike gives you the freedom to take on any adventure, in your own way and at your own pace.

Flexible & exceptionally strong

Multifunctional mounting rails

Securing anything you want to bring along is effortless thanks to the black anodized airline tracks. These rails are recessed into strategic points in the frame and the plywood panels. Combined with straps and tie-downs, your load stays firmly in place — practical, flexible and reliable.

Built to be used

Durable anti-slip flatbed

Stack your gear easily on the strong, moisture-resistant plywood panels. The anti-slip layer keeps everything in position, even on rough terrain. The flatbed is designed for real use: you can add extra mounting points without worry (for example, by screwing them in). If the wooden panels wear out or get damaged, they can be replaced individually.
