Omnium Mini V3.1 Cargo Bike Frame Kit

The OMNIUM Mini is a fast, agile reimagining of the short john bike, built to handle surprisingly heavy loads. Its compact size makes it easy to manoeuvre and integrates simply with both smaller residences and multimodal transport. The front rack is ideal for anything too bulky and uncomfortable to carry on your back. You can keep your belongings in sight and carry serious weight all day without the bike feeling overloaded. The 29-inch rear wheel helps the Mini effortlessly keep pace over longer distances, giving it an edge over other short john designs. Full rear rack mounts let you attach a range of panniers or rack mounted child seats, ideal for urban commuters. Unlike many cargo bikes, the Mini rides like a regular bike. It feels quick, stable, safe and intuitive. Adapting to the Mini takes minutes and you quickly wonder how you managed without it.

DESIGN

The Mini is designed around a 55 mm (2.15 inch) tyres front and rear. Bigger tyres come with plenty of benefits, and these are the ones that matter most. High volume tyres run at lower pressure, which gives you a natural layer of cushioning between you and the road. The result is more comfort, more control, and an easier ride on rough surfaces like gravel, cobblestones, and battered city streets.

We have also updated the frame with the new v3.1 segmented fork that still comes with thru axles. Thru axles first appeared on downhill mountain bikes in the late 90s, and these days they are the standard on most disc brake bikes. They make perfect sense on a cargo bike. This setup increases stiffness, improves braking performance, handles heavy loads more securely, and reduces the chance of incorrect installation or brake rub.

Frame kit includes : Frame, fork, headset, seat clamp, rack, thru axle front and choice of QR dropouts or 12mm Thru Axle dropouts and axle.
