eBullitt EP8
£7,181 – £7,423
The eBullitt
The eBullitt cargo bike has always been and continues to be amongst the best-looking cargo bikes in our range, with the added power of a top-of-the-line Shimano EP motor. The eBullitt can take a huge amount of cargo. Using the powerful Shimano motor, getting a boost off the line, up steep hills, or over long journeys can make carrying any cargo a breeze.
Designed to last
With its powder-coated hardened aluminium frame, hydraulic disc brakes, and premium components, the eBullitt is one of the toughest electric cargo bikes on the market.
Multi-Functional
Add a seat and side-panels for the school run, or a lockable aluminium box for commercial deliveries. The Bullitt can easily carry loads up to 100 Kg, and with its large cargo bay and a variety of mount points, carrying cargo is a breeze.
Not only does having your logo on an eBullitt show your green credentials, it’s a great way to get your brand in front of potential customers. With billboards in the frame or custom vinyls on the aluminium cargo boxes, get your brand out there!
Cost-Effective
With minimal running costs and no fuel or parking fees, cargo bikes are significantly cheaper per kilometre than a motor vehicle.
The Electric Advantage
With a top-of-the line Shimano EP mid-drive motor, long distances and hills become effortless–even with heavy cargo.
Go Anywhere
The Shimano system provides up to 110km* of power assist. The battery can be removed and charged within 1 hour to 50%, 2 hours to 80% and 4 hours 100%.
EP8
The EP8 is the result of many years development and brings Shimano’s wealth of experience in cycling engineering into a small, powerful and fantastic functioning flagship eBullitt.
250watt with an incredibly grunty 85 newton meters of torque, the EP8 represents the pinnacle of electrically assisted bikes and it’s strength makes it a fantastic contender for cargo riding. Less drag due to a change in seals and software updates from previous iterations, the EP8 rolls smoothly and incredibly efficiently.

As Copenhageners, Larry and Harry have always biked as much as they could. Not just because it was green, cool or cheap, but because it was – is – the fastest, most convenient way to get around town. Harry had a contract business (building, not Goodfellas) for 20 years where he used a 60-year-old Danish Long John cargo bike to get from job to job. Larry was busy working for another Danish manufacturer, making the best cargo trike in the world. The problem was Harry’s vintage Long John was still faster, lighter and more manoeuvrable. That’s when Larry and Harry decided to build the perfect cargo bike.
Larry and Harry based the Bullitt design principles on the classic Danish Long John. It had to be strong, fast and reliable. But the Bullitt had to be much more than just functional: it had to be sexy.
Larry and Harry’s master plan was to build a bike that could replace much of the functions of a car in the city, but would also be a desirable object. This was a tough challenge because, let’s face it, cars are brilliant.
Larry and Harry love cars, especially late 60’s and early 70’s American muscle cars. The problem, of course, is fuel prices and emissions. The Bullitt is the environmentally friendly solution to getting around quickly, cheaply, and stylishly. From trucking down to the beach with a case of beer and a ghetto blaster to carrying out demanding commercial transport, the Bullitt will get you from A to B faster than a speeding… er… bullet. And you’ll look good doing it.
