Larry vs Harry Bullitt Cargo Bike Review

Our Larry vs Harry Bullitt cargo bike has about 500 miles on it, which is a big deal seeing our average trip distance is 3.6 miles! I figured this was a good time to post an initial review of the family cargo bike, how we built it up, and answer the question, "Would you buy it again?"

Did I forget anything? Do you have a question? Let me know in the comments!

I got my bare Bullitt frame last week, building it up now with a Bafang motor. It'll be a 1x 10-speed. So far the only thing I've had trouble finding is an E-50 rear tire in 26x2.0 but I did finally find a shop that had one. Thanks for the review!

This is the first good review of a cargo bike I have seen. Subscribing immediately. Thanks SO much.

GCN did a vid about stiffness.the tests showed that any power given to cranks just ends up back into the rear cassette so even tho it "feels" like you're losing power you're really not blowing away "the noodle is slower" myth.its really interesting

Would this be a good option for touring?  Seems like if I wanted to carry a lot of gear, it would fit the bill!

Cool bike! I ride a babooe cargo bike in Germany, and my kids and I always have fun when going and coming from school!

I have a Yuba Supermarche. I thought about the Bullit the issue is that I am 6'4!

Douze cycles are great, very nimble and one of the few that has an alternative steering system making it more stabile to ride at any speed. Don't get the electric assisted one though, bionix is on it's way out. For me the big difference between Bullit/douze and Bakfiets/urban Arrow is the seating position. The first are courier style and the second are Dutch style ride. In my experience ( I have 12 cargobikes ) the latter is more comfortable for long rides. The most important factor to consider is the child's seating height ! With the models like Bullit your child sits very low. This doesn't matter if you never come near any traffic, if you do use it in city traffic I would never put my kids in that position. I have three children and have been using selling and renting out cargo bikes for more than 10 years. I hope you"l enjoy your purchase

Hello. I'm a cyclist and I'm looking for a "easy and fast" cargo bike. Your video is from 2016, I don't know if you still have your bike but I send you my question: We have two cars, and I would like to sell one of them. A cargo bike would be the way for us to keep only one car. My children are teenagers so the cargo bike will not really be used to transport them but to go shopping and carry things. The big question is: without or with electric motor ? What do you think ? Thank you. Chris from France.

i have a bakfiets.nl bike, also a great option. i had a lot of issues with flat tires since I moved to Hoboken NJ. replaced the standard tire and tube with a Marathon Plus tire plus a self repairing inner tube. no issues for a year. maybe a tip...

[aldemarodiaz]

hello good day I really liked the idea and I would like to know the measures for myself so I can do it.

Hermosa la bicicleta y la presentadora también, ja!
Me gustaría tener una bici similar, para pasear y de paso llevar objetos a distintos lugares.
Los felicito por su logro, aquí en Argentina no la puedo conseguir, aun...

Any hills on your ride? What gear ratios are you running? We're considering one in Seattle for hauling our kid to day care, but are a little wary of a 250 ft climb over 1 mile with a 100 lb rig. I'd rather avoid the e-assist.

Hermosa tu cargo Saludos desde MÉXICO 👍👏👋👋👋👋👋👋

[RirinRirin-snuj]

how much it costs and where do i buy it from indonesia?

[marcusviniciusfraga]

Nice video! I would like to know how you fixed the baby seat to the wood box. Thanks!

[hetane]

do you still have this bike? how does it stack up against the other cargo non e-bikes?

[harbinger]

how tall are you and what is your inseam?... i'm looking at a bullitt also but want to make sure and can emergency stop if needed and flat foot the bike at a standstill if needed. looking to carry my 2 toddlers around.

[nphipps]

How did you secure the car seat in the box? Looks like you're using a base, yeah?

[ruiwang]

I test rode a Xtracycle with Yepp & Hooptie in the back with my 2 year old son, and felt a bit uncomfortable when maneuvering the bike, especially when not riding. I know you mentioned the bullitt was twitchy... would you recommend it as a more stable option than a long tail cargo bike, or is it just a matter of needing more practice time riding it?
