The drought is over: 1-, 6-, and 18-speed Mundos are on the way.

We’ve sold out of the Mundo four times in 2008, so this time we finagled as many as we could get our hands on. They arrive in mid-November with some nice bonuses: some 18-speed kits to better tame the hills, the Mundo’s long-awaited first line of bags, and sets of three lightweight, super-durable walnut decks made in Portland […]

Fresh Mundos Just in from Germany!

The Mundo is back! We were able to snag a few single-speed (red) and 6-speed (blue) Mundos before our US distributor quickly sold out once again. They’re en route to Portland this week.

The Mundos Have Arrived!

That’s right, they’re here! We built our first Mundo and it exceeds our expectations in so many ways. This thing cruises like nothing you’ve ever ridden –heck, it turned my wife into an instant fan after riding it for less than five minutes, and she’s one tough egg to crack.
Our shipment arrived from the courier […]

Velovision Accolades

“(The Mundo is) a benchmark product, especially for the heavy-duty end of the longtail market. Here you have a heavy-duty hauler, which really can carry loads and people in a way that was previously simply beyond a normal bike at all costing under £500 ($985). And that’s quite some achievement. ”
