Acoustic bikes in London
An acoustic bike is simply a bike without a motor — just you, the gears and the road. For shorter, flatter journeys, or for the pleasure of a quieter, lighter machine you barely have to think about, an acoustic bike is often all you need. We keep a considered selection across city, family, cargo and folding, chosen for the same build quality and serviceability we look for in everything we stock.
The range spans several makers. Achielle build handmade steel city bikes in Belgium, classic in looks and modern underneath, with belt drives and internal hub gears that take winter in their stride. For carrying without a motor, the Veloe Multi Power handles the family load, the Muli Muskel is a compact cargo bike with a folding front basket, and the Bastille folds full-size wheels down small for the train and the hallway.
Prefer no motor for your kind of riding? You can still compare by use — family bikes for carrying children, cargo bikes for bigger loads, or city bikes for getting around — and we will point you to the acoustic options within each. If you think you might want assistance after all, it is worth riding an acoustic and an electric version back to back; the difference is easiest to feel in person. Come and try a few at our Camden, Notting Hill and Hackney shops, by appointment.
