There are two types Achielle bakfietsen. One version especially made for the transportation of your kids. It has a bench and seatbelts. The other version is especially made for the transportation of your dog(s).

Our bakfietsen can be painted in different combinations of colors and they are all painted with a powdercoating 2 layer technique.

The frame is hand made with Corus Hi Tech tubes in the Achielle Workshop in Belgium.

The bakfiets is outfitted with a Shimano Rollerbrakes that are operated with handbrakes. Hand brakes are needed for a bakfiets, because you will need the extra breaking power of a back and a front brake when you transporting your children or dog.

The bakfiets is outfitted with a Shimano Nexus 8 Speed. The gears are inside the rear internal hub so they can endure all weather conditions. Besides this the Shimano Nexus speeds are the most easy to use speeds available. It will switch gear, no matter what you do with your feet. Derailleur gears are compared to internal hub gears very vulnerable and require skills to operate it well so that the chain will not come off. With the Nexus Shimano internal gear hub you can expect none of this, and you shouldn´t settle for less. With these gears you will never end up with hands covered all up in grease on one for your rides.

The bakfiets has a 26″ aluminum rim in the back and a 20” aluminum rim in the front. Both rims are made by the Dutch company Rigida and they carry the brand name van Schothorst.  When it comes to aluminum rims, these rims are the lightest level available on the market.

The black Schwalbe tires will garanty you extreme longevity and durability. Schwalbe´s patented puncture protection provides further moments of cycling happiness.

The handlebar is made from all weather proof chrome.
