Dorset based Boxer Cycles was founded in 2013 by Jeremy Davies, a design and development engineer, who wanted to take the ‘box on wheels’ and create a more stylish alternative to the car.
“I wanted to create a British brand with a British identity – no rebadging Chinese frames and tech, just a ground-up design that did a lot more than the fairly basic Dutch and Danish designs. I find that parents love their Dutch cargo bikes but can’t always get them to do all of the tasks they need them to, and so they will frequently have to leave them at home – for example, many will take the car or bus if they have to go shopping in a mall where they can only transport their infant in a baby stroller. By adding the functionality to allow a baby buggy / stroller to accompany them, the trike becomes a valid transportation option.
“Similarly, with our add-on bike rack for children’s bikes, we solve a common snag, going on a ride with a child who is learning and but needs transporting to a park some distance away, or can only go so far before they get tired. Parents can now simply put their child in the box, the bike on the front, and go anywhere they like.”
