Understanding the Larry vs Harry Bullitt cargo bike range: Which Bullitt is right for me?
With over ten years of perfecting their craft, it is no surprise that Larry vs Harry are world leaders in producing long john style two-wheeled cargo bikes. They are providing an ideal balance between ride quality, comfort, carrying capability and style. Larry vs Harry places their cargo bike, the Bullitt, in the middle of the pack when it comes to price, wanting to appeal to those looking for good value of quality components at a reasonable price point. Hydraulic brakes come as standard and futureproof frames allowing for a Gates carbon belt drive to be fitted later mean any Bullitt option is a quality investment. Find out about when we went to visit the Larry vs Harry crew in Copenhagen here.

Prices as of May 2023
Non-Electric Bullitt models
Deore 20 Speed - 2x10 entry-level Shimano MTB groupset, very capable of hill climbing and riding with heavy cargo. This is the cheapest complete Bullitt option.
£3710
XT 12 Speed - 1x12 top-end Shimano MTB groupset, hardwearing, lightweight and with a very wide range of gear ratios. This is one of the best equipped complete cargo bikes on the market.
£4540
Alfine 8 (internal gear hub) - Larry vs Harry have moved their entry-level gear hub up to Alfine 8 from Nexus 5; this is to give riders a more comprehensive range of gears and a harder wearing hub. Internal gears allow for static shifting, which is very helpful when riding in built-up areas of towns and cities. Internal gear hubs are also a fantastic option for less experienced riders on a cargo bike as they are less likely to cause damage to the drivetrain when riding under load.
£3740
Alfine 8 Gates belt drive (internal gear hub) - Larry vs Harry was one of the first cargo bike brands to introduce a carbon belt drive model to their complete range. The carbon belt drive is extremely low maintenance; not even chain lube is required. If you are looking for a bombproof drivetrain for hard use day in day out, this is the model for you. Unlike conventional metal chains, the carbon belt drive does not stretch and, as such, will last for 5 or 6 times as long.
£3995
Alfine 11 Gates belt drive (internal gear hub) - all the fantastic durability features of the above groupset but with the added bonus of having 11 speeds giving you more options over hilly terrain.
£4238
