Gazelle Cabby

What Gazelle says

The Cabby is the maximum capacity transport bicycle.

We guarantee your kids will have a smile from ear to ear riding in the Cabby…and you will too!

The Cabby is Gazelle’s answer to the “Bakfiets” craze hitting Dutch cities. Because the Dutch use their bike for everything, a large capacity bicycle has become popular for hauling kids and shopping. A cargo bike is a great alternative to the car for many trips and is so much more fun!

The Gazelle Cabby has extra wide tyres for better grip and a low step through frame for extra comfort. There is an extra long luggage carrier on the back of the bike to carry large capacity panniers as well. The 2-wheeled design rides much like a normal bike which is important in corners and is superior in handling to the 3-wheel design cargo bike that is also available on the market.

Gazelle has patented the foldable design of the cargo box which helps when negotiating tight spaces like the doorway of a house or garage. The bench seat in the Cabby has space for 2 children side by side and are kept safe by strong seat belts.

What Joel says

The first thing you don’t notice when you ride the Cabby is the handling, it just feels normal. Even with Bill in the front (who at 65kgs is well within the load limit for the front box) you don’t have to work harder to get the bike to go in the direction you want it.

Being (other) the local load bike nut I’ve taking a couple of opportunities to use the Cabby, most of  the contents of our stall at the ‘09 GoBike festival were pedaled over in the Cabby. Our mobile toolkit (and one smallish mechanic) were pedaled over to the Northcote Primary school fete and I am impressed by the easy at which this bike handles with what would be a tricky load on most other load bikes.

Like all Gazelle bikes the build quality is amazing and with nice touches like intergrated  mudguards and lights the Cabby is excels at general load carrying and is even better at carry kids.
