Christiania trikes
In October 2010, the Christiania cargo trike earned the prestigious Danish Design Prize. Given to an outstanding Danish product that has remained almost unchanged for at least 25 years, Christiania joined the ranks of former prize winners like Lego and B&O.
The refinements to this trike over the years have always kept in mind the company’s core focus on utility, value, and functionality. Although it was never the aim of Christiania’s designers to create a “fancy” bike, they have ended up producing a gorgeous and highly functional design icon.
A Christiania trike will provide you with years of reliable service. Whether you’re riding around on a sunny day with the canopy off, or your kids are snuggled up under the rain cover on a blustery winter day, this trike is a great way to transport yourself and your loved ones. The roomy box comes with a seating bench, two seat belts, and even built-in storage.
Some people are drawn to trikes believing that they are easier to ride than bikes. The truth is that they are neither easier nor harder, but simply different. While trikes are extremely stable at low speeds, especially with heavy loads, with higher speeds and lighter loads comes the need for skill to avoid tipping. Regardless of your confidence riding bicycles, it takes practice to develop this skill, during which time it is important to keep speeds low. We strongly encourage people to test ride any bike before buying. This is even more important in the case of trikes.
