Azor bikes7/16/2023 ![]() We find the combination of this stable, 2-leg center-stand, steering limiter spring and the headlamp mounted on the left fork leg to be much handier than the more typical side-stand. The handlebar, stem, spokes and almost all of the nuts, bolts and washers will remain serviceable and pretty for decades… even when stored outdoors in a rainy climate (like Amsterdam). Double wiring is routed internally though the frame and mudguard stays for reliability and clean looks. The taillamps have LEDs with a 100,000 hour lifespan and energy storage circuitry to remain on for a few minutes while stopped. Headlamps come from B&M in Germany and have powerful LED’s. The dynamo is inside the front hub so it runs silently with negligible resistance. A hatch on the rear makes the occasional lubrication and chain tension adjustment easy.īright lights whenever needed without the hassle of batteries. The full chaincase keeps your drivetrain clean to reduce maintenance to a minimum. The mudguards are zinc and powder-coated steel so they won’t break or rust. No dirty trousers/skirts and almost no drivetrain maintenance. Though many Dutch bicycles have only a rear coaster brake we feel strongly that a bicycle with two brakes is both safer and more convenient. WorkCycles fits the top of the line Shimano IM80 rollerbrakes to all bikes now. Hub brakes are nearly maintainence free, unaffected by weather and don’t make the bike dirty with brake pad sludge. You can even shift while stopped, a very handy feature when riding for transportation.Īll models have a front Shimano roller brake and either a backpedal or (hand operated) roller rear brake. On request we can fit even more puncture resistant Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires.Īll WorkCycles bikes have fully enclosed hub gears, mostly from Shimano: foolproof shifting, nearly maintainence free and out of harm’s way. The tires are smooth rolling and long wearing Schwalbe Marathons with Kevlar anti-puncture layers. They’re even strong enough to ride with an adult passenger on the rear carrier… Dutch style. They’re perfectly suitable for heavy riders, carrying large loads or two kids. These wheels are so durable that they put those of other city bikes to shame. These tough rims are laced with (thick) 2.3mm stainless spokes bent to precisely fit the hub. Special wide, double-wall, black, aluminium rims are made here in the Netherlands just for WorkCycles. They’re guaranteed for 10 years against manufacturer’s defects. Frames are coated first with an anti-rust zinc carbonate primer and then a tough and environmentally friendly powdercoat. They’re built to handle heavy loads, child seats, big riders and constant use. Lugs and large diameter tubing make them much stiffer and stronger than frames from other manufacturers. They weigh between 18 and 25 kilos – depending on how many extras and gears you add. Making them lighter would require compromises in durability, practicality or price. WorkCycles bicycles ride great but they’re not light weight. Answer? They’re not an ounce heavier than they need to be. ![]() There are many more possibilities for fleet bikes than shown on our site and in our price lists Just contact us to discuss your needs.įoreigners sometimes ask what our bikes weigh, as if this is an important consideration in a utility bike.
