Benno Cargo Bikes

Built for Big Loads, Small Footprints

At Clever Cycles, we love bikes that solve problems. Benno bikes don’t just solve problems—they crush them under 130 pounds of cargo, two kids, or a week’s worth of groceries. Designed in California, Benno’s "Etility" bikes blend the rugged utility of a cargo bike with the everyday rideability of a commuter. That means less car, more fun, and no compromises.

Why Benno?

Benno bikes ride like city bikes but haul like trucks. Whether you’re dropping kids at school, hauling tools to a jobsite, or just picking up tacos for twelve, Benno’s thoughtful design and Bosch-powered performance make every trip faster, easier, and a lot more fun.

Clever Reasons to Ride Benno

• Bosch Mid-Drive Power 

  Smooth, intuitive, and strong—just like the people who ride them.

• Modular Rack Systems 

  Adaptable setups for kids, crates, surfboards, pizza boxes, or all of the above.

• One Size Fits Most 

  Each frame adjusts easily to fit a wide range of riders (and families).

• Urban Approved, Off-Grid Capable 

  Big tires, upright geometry, and solid handling make it just as happy on gravel as on Hawthorne.
