FLINC Compact Cargo Bicycle

The FLINC Compact Cargo Bicycle is a clever urban bike that combines the agility of a smaller bicycle with the utility of a cargo bike — perfect for city riders who don’t want a full-size cargo bike but occasionally need to haul bigger or bulkier loads.

Designed and crafted in Zürich, FLINC is lightweight, space-efficient, and versatile. Its compact 20-inch wheels and nimble handling make it easy to ride and manoeuvre through tight streets, stairwells, trains, or elevators, while a robust modular transport system lets you attach crates, bags or odd-shaped items securely.

Built with durable, low-maintenance components, the bike includes a smooth belt drive paired with an 11-speed internal gear hub, hydraulic disc brakes, mudguards, and integrated front and rear lights powered by a hub dynamo — all aimed at reliable everyday use with minimal upkeep.

Its smart loop-and-pin cargo system gives you lots of ways to load and secure things — from groceries or wine bottles to beach gear — and accessories like crates and adapters expand its load-carrying options further.

FLINC strikes a balance between practicality and style: it’s designed to work hard without feeling like a bulky tool, making it ideal for urban commuters, errand runners, or anyone who wants the flexibility of a cargo bike without the permanent size commitment.
