Bike Customization
We believe your bike should be comfortable and your riding experience, pain-free. Our experienced staff can help make that a reality whether you’re buying a stock e-bike/e-Bullitt or ordering a custom-built non-electric Bullitt. We have a program for fully custom Built-to-Order, human-powered, Bullitt cargo bikes. We also can assist you in setting up you Factory Built e-Bullitt or e-bike to meet your needs.
Customizing Factory Built Bikes - like e-Bullitts and R & M bikes
Any factory-built bike, such as Riese & Muller, Tern, and Bullitt STePS e-bikes, come complete from the factory. These companies do a great job of providing quality parts that are perfect for the "average" person...but none of our customer are average (all are above average, right?).
We know that you have preferences for how your bike is detailed so we can work with you to help get the fit and features you want on your bike if the stock set-up isn’t right. We try to keep a supply of stems, bars, and other parts in stock to make this process easy. Any changes to factory-built bikes will require an up-charge (part and labor), based on the item you’re selecting.
Be aware that not all bikes can accept different stems or all of the bars we stock (Tern and some R& M bikes for example). But, if you aren't comfortable on the stock bike, do let us know and we are happy to advise you and provide a quote on the options for changing the bike's configuration and improving your comfort.
Bullitt versatility: rider position can be set up in upright, aggressive, or in-between.
Built-to-Order Bullitt Customization Program - For Human-powered bikes
The non-E-bike Bullitts we sell are built-to-order. For those bikes you get to choose how you configure your cargo bike's cockpit. Whether upright or aggressive, it's your choice, and that means you get the fit you want not what the manufacturer dictates. Select one of our stock handlebars and your preferred stem length.
More than one rider on you custom Bullitt? No problem. We have a variety of solutions that can help you fit two riders of different heights.
Handlebars and Stems
We have several stock handlebars which are available at no extra charge on human-powered Bullitts custom cargo bike builds. When setting up your bike we’ll work with you to help you determine what stem (60mm-120mm length stem) and handlebar is best for your situation and preferences. We also have other upcharge handlebars, such as Jones Bars, in stock and can give you a custom quote on an upgrade.
Seatposts
Most of our custom bikes can also be spec'd with long or short seat posts. Whether 6'6" or 4'11" we can help you build a bike that fits. We're happy to advise you on which length seatpost will be best for you. If you'd like a higher quality components we can also source Thomson seatposts for the price difference between it and our stock posts.
If you are sharing your Bullitt with another and want an easy way to make quick height adjustments, ask us about dropper post solutions that work well with Bullitt cargo bikes.
And, if you want to add a little more comfort to your ride, upgrading to a suspension seatpost is a great idea. Ask us about options that pair nicely with Bullitt cargo bikes.
Other Accessories
We have a variety of accessories on hand to help outfit your new bike including lights, fenders, racks, tires, saddles, handlebars, and more. We can't list every accessory we stock so, this page features our most popular accessories for customizing cargo bikes we set up in-house.
Saddles
Selecting a saddle is a very personal choice. That means that the saddle selected as a stock saddle may or may not be the one for you. If the stock option is not to your liking, we have a variety of other saddles ranging from the classic Brooks saddles to cushy gel saddles.
Lights
Full time lights are not just a good idea, they are a brilliant idea. That’s why we carry only the best quality and brightest lights for dynamo hubs and e-bikes. We're happy to advise on the best option for your bike and budget.
Panniers/Bags
Ortlieb panniers and bags just can’t be beat. We love the QR (quick release) mounting system for convenience and ease of mounting. Plus: WATERPROOF! With a wide range of styles in pannier and handlebar bags and accessories in a variety of colors you can find a bag that’s the perfect match for you and your bike. We’re also happy to do special orders so, if we don’t have what you need in stock, we can check availability and order it for you.
