A modular carry bike,
hand built in Hackney
Compact module carry bikes that adapt to your life. Made in Hackney with a community-based spirit.

Designed to adapt to modern urban lifestyles

The Assembly Bike is for those who want the flexibility to carry large or awkward loads without compromising precious storage space.

Our bikes are a nimble and eco-conscious alternative to a van or car. Whatever load you are carrying - from pets to paintings, planks to plants, kids to kettleballs, Assembly gives you the freedom to cycle in the city and stay adaptable.

Strong and adaptable

Carry almost anything, from ladders to shrubs, to furry friends. Our wide, strong racks are designed for large euroboxes and bakery boxes and our modular range of accessories means you can carry unusual loads including wood and other long items.

Folding racks carry 40kg each, Fixed racks carry 60kg each.

Slim for Storage

Slim for storage

We know how city life works and how a little space needs to go a long way. Assembly Bikes are the size of a regular bike. The racks, handlebars and pedals easily fold down to 25cm wide, making it super slim in a hallway, a bike hanger, or even a train.

Reliable and practical

Assembly bikes have easy to work mechanisms that will switch your bike from school run mode to work delivery mode in the flick of a lever.

Enjoy a smooth, familiar and easy ride even with large loads. Wide, 20” wheels give this bike a low, stable centre of gravity so you can safely see the road over the top of your plant/delivery/child/dog.

Reliable and Practical
Designed for resilience

Designed for resilience

Our bikes are handbuilt in our London workshop. We design for practicality, durability and repairability with open design and use of universal spare parts. Choosing an Assembly Bike is about supporting local design and manufacturing.

Our vision is for clean, green, fun cities - to help people let go of vans and cars, and do more by bike. Be a part of our biking vision and let's get moving.

Let's Assemble

All our bikes are designed and hand built in London, and we are on a mission to help more and more people to let go of cars and vans and do more by bike.

Meet Jim

Meet Jim

Assembly Bike is a new hand built e-carry bike business based in Hackney in East London. Our Founder, Jim Lowe, originally designed bikes for himself, to operate his trade business without a van. If you’re local, you may have met him carrying 3m lengths of timber for a school garden, enormous curtains for a theatre production, or carrying equipment to Hackney’s orchards maintenance sessions.

Jim and our Co-Founder, Jane ni Dhulchaointigh, an experienced Creative Entrepreneur, met at their kids' school gates and became firm friends with a shared enthusiasm for carry bikes, nature, community and regenerative entrepreneurship.

Following 7 years of prototyping and robust testing, and the Best New Utility Bike 2024 award from Bespoked, we are thrilled to launch the Assembly Bike Pro.

Come for a test ride and a chat at our Hackney Wick workshop, we'll be delighted to guide you on your carry-bike journey!
