"Cargo bikes usually aren’t the first choice for sports or touring," said Paulo Mesquita, HASE BIKES' product designer. "The GRAVIT DUST is different. It’s both a cargo bike that’s easy to transport and a gravel bike that can carry a whole lot of luggage. The perfect mix for anyone who wants a cargo bike with sporty performance."
Paulo was the driving force behind the GRAVIT DUST. Like so many other HASE BIKES innovations, it was inspired by personal needs along with a passion for unusual bicycles. Paulo: "I wanted something that could offer a more exhilarating ride. And my wife was looking for a smaller, more agile bike that we could also take with us on vacation. So I started to experiment."
What he came up with is the GRAVIT DUST. "It's the perfect bike for not only transporting stuff, but also enjoying off-road trips, covering long distances, hurtling down hills, and really pushing your limits," said Mesquita. For a cargo bike, the GRAVIT DUST is extremely lightweight and nimble, and for a gravel bike, it boasts an astonishing load capacity. Although it weighs a mere 44 lb. (20 kilograms), it can shoulder loads of up to 440 lb. (200 kilograms).
The GRAVIT DUST doesn't need a heavy cargo box: Up to 88 lb. (40 kilograms) can be loaded onto the Cargo Board. Measuring 193⁄4 x 331⁄2 in. (50 x 85 cm), this platform has an aluminum frame with webbing that is both lightweight and heavy duty. The luggage is held securely in place with a cargo net that can be fastened to a total of 10 heavy-duty mounts. The Cargo Board itself can be securely attached and removed again with a simple click.
Those who want to take full advantage of the 440-pound (200 kilogramms) load capacity can mount a HASE BIKES Lowrider under the Cargo Board and add one large and one small pannier on each side. The GRAVIT DUST is also easy to transport: When the telescoping frame is reduced to its shortest setting and the Cargo Board is removed, the bike is a mere 68.5 inches (174 centimeter) in length and as narrow as a normal city bike. As a result, it can be easily stored in cellars, bike rooms, or apartments and is transportable on any standard rear-mounted car rack! The GRAVIT DUST also comes in a custom version with an electric motor.
