The Bullitt cargo bike has always been and continues to be the most flexible solution available.
Bullitt Cargo Bikes Direct is dedicated to supplying your fully custom-built, ready to ride Original Bullitt directly to your door.
Built to last, fast, fun and strong, the Bullitt is more than just a machine and is loved by families, bicycle messengers, businesses and adventurers around the globe who use it daily for all their transport requirements.
The Original Bullitt stock derailleur setup is a choice between the Deore 20-speed or the XT 12-speed, and for the hub geared options it’s either the Alfine 8-speed (with or without Gates Carbon Drive) or the Alfine 11-speed (only with the Gates Carbon Drive). But the beauty of the original Bullitt frame is that it will accommodate pretty much any groupset that you care to name. So, if you would prefer a different set up then please get in touch and we will check out availability and pricing.
Our prices include all the usual finishing kit comprising handlebars, grips, stem, saddle, seatpost, Wellgo pedals & mudguards.
If you are used to riding with external gears and want more efficiency when riding, then the XT 12-speed and the Deore 20-speed are great examples.

External gear systems offer the best power transfer. There is less energy getting lost in space, so every bit of raw power you put into your pedals will be transferred almost directly into your forward momentum and getting you where you need to be. This is the most efficient type of setup.
Based on the bombproof entry level MTB groupset, Deore 20 has a 2×10 drivetrain and is perfect for hilly conditions.
Hydraulic Tektro disc brakes provide ample stopping power. Gear ratio: Cassette 11-32T, Chainrings 24-32T.

Full Deore groupset consisting of crank, bottom bracket, front/rear derailleurs, shifters
TRP Slate T4 hydraulic disc brakes

Finishing Kit: Handlebar, grips, stem, saddle, seatpost, Wellgo pedals & mudguards
On the other hand, if you prefer hub gears then the Alfine 8-speed or the Alfine 11-speed are a good combo. Hub gears are simpler: one cog, one chain and one chainring; and you can change gear even when stationary, and with fewer parts compared to derailleurs, when the gear set is set up correctly there is very little service.
With one cog, one chain/belt drive, and one chainring, hub gears require less maintenance and, unlike derailleur gears, you can also choose to upgrade to the Gates Carbon Drive, and you can change gear even when stationary.
Alfine 8 is the benchmark now for dependable, well performing internal groupsets.
Offering a broader gear ratio than Nexus 7 and two hydraulic disc brakes, Alfine 8 is an extremely robust groupset which has seen several developments over the years and whose hub is optimised to low maintenance and durability.
