Ambassadors

Helping to positively shift our world, one cargo load at a time

Xtracycle was founded out of a desire to be of service and out of a spirit of resourceful and creative solutions to every day problems. That spirit continues with our Ambassador program. We partner with grassroots organizations and individuals working to empower their communities through service. Xtracycle also gives 1% of our sales to Worldbike, our international Ambassador.

Xtracycle longtail bikes enable people and organizations to get the job done without adding significant cost to their operating budgets, while simultaneously limiting their environmental footprint. Xtracycle provides discounted product to select individuals and organizations on a quarterly basis. If you'd like to be considered for our Ambassadors program, please apply on our Sponsorship page. We look forward to working with you to build healthy and prosperous communities through the use of our products.

Getting fresh produce into the hands of West Oakland residents

People's Grocery

People's Grocery is a community-based organization in West Oakland that develops creative solutions to the health problems in our community that stem from a lack of access to and knowledge about healthy, fresh foods. Our mission is to build a local food system that improves the health and economy of the West Oakland community.

We're excited to see Xtracycles being put to use to help improve the health and nutrition for those benefiting from People's Grocery.

Going green to raise awareness about pollution and poverty

Pedaling Against Poverty Tour

Ben Sollee, a mutli-talented musician from Kentucky, wanted to change the way he toured. Instead of relying on gasoline powered transport, Ben sought a greener mode of travel. Seeing an Xtracycle on CurrentTV, Ben realized that his large cello would fit easily on our longtail platform.

You've found Xtracycle cargo bicycles, which is really the same thing as Xtra-cycle, Xtra Cycle, Extra-cycle or Extracycle but different. Xtracycle's LongTail innovation is a hitchless trailer that evolves the bike rack, bike bag (or pannier or basket), bike trailer, passenger seat, and baby seat into one cargo bike or sport utility bicycle system. With a long wheelbase, balanced center of gravity, and versatile carrying capacity, your Xtracycle LongTail may open the door to car-free or car-lite transportation in your life. Load your LongTail with precious cargo: a week's worth of groceries, or a picnic in your FreeLoader; your children, friends or lovers on the SnapDeck. A WideLoader and LongLoader enable you to carry, yep you guessed it, wide and long loads like surfboards, ladders, instruments or equipment. Be a daily bike commuter. Go out for a ride and end up at work. Be a weekend bicycle tourist. Re-imagine eco tourism: from a simple daytrip to an epic adventure. Travel the globe with the function of a Sport Utility Bike and explore trails, beaches, markets, neighborhoods, and parks. Ride to love. Ride to smile. Ride to feel sexy and healthy and to have fun. Welcome to a life of vitality, simple joys and a brilliant future.
