Hase Pino Step

The PINO CARGO is a different kind of cargo bike. A slimline and agile cargo bike that, in its free time, leads a "double life" as a tandem.

Versatility. Ergonomics. Stability.


​First you'll see the difference, and then you'll see the brilliance: the frame design. Like its predecessor model, the new PINO also has a two-part frame. However, instead of a frame joint for taking them apart, there's an ingenious telescoping mechanism. In other words: you can shorten the wheelbase by simply pushing the two parts together. The front section slides smoothly into the main frame, the geometry remains perfectly aligned, and the slack of the greasy chain is taken up by the frame-quick-adjust assembly.

Thanks to this new technology, the PINO can be parked in any hallway or cellar, requiring no more space than a regular bike. With the handlebars folded down, it can even be made compact enough to fit on any standard rear-mounted car rack.

Even more mind-blowing: the shortened PINO is rideable! At its minimum length, the wheelbase is roughly equivalent to that of a city bike, and the handling and turning radius are more or less the same.

There are also big changes for the little ones! Thanks to the length-adjustable crank arms and a seat adapter, co-pilots as small as one meter (3.28 feet) in height can simply hop on and start pedaling - no extra crankset is needed!

As a semi-recumbent tandem, the PINO has always had special handlebars. Now we've managed to make them even more ergonomic. The width, angle, and height of the new handlebars can easily be adjusted for individual riders. As a result, riders of any size and stature can find the perfect handlebar position.

Two riders or heavy cargo - the PINO has a lot to carry. To make the PINO even safer and more enjoyable to ride, we've improved the stability in many areas. Furthermore, both cranksets are now roughly 30mm lower than on the old PINO. As a result, the rear rider's feet can reach the ground more easily, and the front rider pedals slightly downwards. Everything PINO? Everything PINO!
