2×4 electric cargo bike live on Kickstarter

Cargo bike parking sign

NTS Works just went live with their Kickstarter campaign for the 2×4 electric cargo bike.



The goal is $100,000. The first 100 bikes are deeply discounted on Kickstarter at $3,600. Other incentives for supporting NTS Works include a cargo bike parking sign (shown above) at the $50 level, and a desk sized scale model with moving parts made on a rapid prototype machine for $200. If you can’t afford the cargo bike I think that scale model sounds pretty cool as a gift for the bike nerd in your life.
