HÊTA

Eco-designed & visionary

The rethinking frontload cargo bike

The completely redesigned Hêta model is the new frontload cargo bike, like no other. Thanks to its new geometry, it is responsive and agile, durable and weaving its way easily in and out of traffic. The Hêta model is the first born of the ambitious “H Project”, which has clear aims: to create, produce and assemble cargo bikes in France.

Three news functions

Lines and integration

The integration of the front steering system and all the cables lightens the shape. However, repairability is not affected. The Hêta is prepared to make maintenance and repairs easier. All the covers are removable to allow full access to the heart of the system.

A concentration of know-how

Separation into 2 parts

In just a few minutes, you can separate the rear frame from the front. As a result, your cargo bike takes up radically less space. It can even be transported, for example on a car bike carrier, so that your cargo bike can follow you to your holiday destination.

The most reliable steering system

When we developed the very first cable steering system for cargo bikes in 2012, we revolutionised the world of frontload. Reliable and flexible, this steering system impresses both when driving and when stopped for manoeuvres. On the Hêta model, we’ve perfected our system even further. The 4 cables have been reinforced to make the steering even more precise, whatever the load. The steering pulleys are now completely integrated into the bike, while remaining accessible for maintenance. Adjusting the steering is just as easy as before.

Open frame

Our interface can accommodate several central drives. This upgradeable system means you can change the motorisation over time, without having to change your bike.

No compromise on safety

The Hêta model stands out for its solidity. Everything is oversized to ensure that this genuine utility vehicle stands up to the trials of everyday life and the test of time. We have also chosen to lower the centre of gravity of our new model, to increase its stability. As for the rest of the safety-related components, we've opted for quality products: powerful 4-piston hydraulic brakes from Tektro, integrated Busch & Müller lighting and specific cargo tyres from Schwalbe, for grip and roadholding.
