  • If you think that an Urban Arrow XL could be the right sort of bike for you, I'd recommend speaking to Pedal Me, i think they still have some of their older Gen bikes they are wanting to phase out. Could go for a test ride I'm sure. V capable bikes.

    I can put you in touch with their head mech if you like just let me know

  • Hi, thanks yes that would be great. Had a quick look and they could be just the thing. And some first had reviews/test ride would be great. Thanks

  • I used an XL pretty extensively for a couple of years as a courier and mechanic. I think they’re very capable and real workhorses, great at what they do. Especially with the upgrades that pedal me do to them (Rohloff hub, being the the most significant). Send me a DM with your mobile number and I’ll pass it on to my Mech friend who works there.

    Or you can contact them direct up to you! https://pedalme.co.uk/2022/05/26/urban-arrow/

    For other reviews there are a couple of forum members who use them iirc:

    Sterling landscapes use Urban Arrow XLs for their gardening work (check out on Insta maybe they have a few pics) and are very happy with them AFAIK.

    Also Freddies Flowers have a fleet of UA XLs for their flower deliveries.

    prob lots more!

  • I ride one for work, it's great. Really well thought out and well made, it's done thousands of miles with loads of weight and hasn't needed any major servicing. The only potential downside is the size, you don't notice it when you're riding but it's significantly larger than most other cargo bikes so storage could be an issue for some. As MCamb mentioned, the Rohloff hub is amazing.
