If you’ve ever wished your bike could carry more—kids, groceries, gear, even your dog—without morphing into a bulky, expensive cargo rig, Argo Bikes has been listening. Their newly updated Argo Fy Cargo Kit 2.0 is designed to transform your existing bicycle or ebike into a front-loading cargo bike, Dutch-style, for a fraction of the cost of a dedicated build.

The concept is refreshingly simple. Instead of shelling out thousands for a new cargo bike, you attach the Argo Fy kit to your current ride. It’s over 90% pre-assembled and compatible with millions of bike styles—from city cruisers to fat-tire ebikes. That means less time tinkering, more time rolling. And because it’s your bike, you already know how it handles. No awkward test rides or sizing guesswork.

But this isn’t just a bolt-on box. The Fy kit features a beefed-up 6061 aluminum frame for durability in all weather, a waterproof phenolic plywood bucket with a grippy surface to keep cargo secure, and hydraulic disc brakes for reliable stopping power—even when loaded down. It also includes two child safety harnesses and an optional rain canopy, making it a practical choice for parents on the go.

Scott Taylor of Argo Bikes calls it a “kid-toting, grocery-getting, fun-having machine,” and that’s not just marketing speak. The kit supports up to 150 pounds (68 kg) of cargo—enough for two kids and a week’s worth of errands. And thanks to its moto-style dual-leg center stand, parking is stable and stress-free.

The new version, dubbed “Mark II,” builds on feedback from Argo’s original Kickstarter success back in 2016. It’s lighter, easier to assemble, and more nimble to ride. The company even redesigned the cargo box to reduce weight without compromising safety—a small but meaningful tweak that shows they’re listening to real-world riders.

At $1,199 for pre-orders (down from the $1,399 list price), the Argo Fy offers serious value. That’s especially relevant now, as more people rethink car ownership, embrace micromobility, and look for eco-friendly ways to move through their cities. With rising fuel costs and urban congestion, a cargo bike isn’t just a lifestyle upgrade—it’s a financial and environmental win.

So why does this matter now? Because the way we move is changing. Whether you're a parent juggling school drop-offs, a freelancer hauling gear, or just someone who wants to explore more without a car, the Argo Fy opens up new possibilities. It’s not just about biking—it’s about reclaiming space, saving money, and making everyday life a little more joyful.

Shipping is expected to begin in December, and while Argo notes a few production hurdles still ahead, the buzz is building. If you’re curious about converting your bike, this might be the moment to jump in.

Watch for updates on delivery timelines and accessory options. And keep an eye on how kits like the Argo Fy are reshaping urban mobility—one ride at a time.

The Argo Fy Cargo Kit turns your everyday bike into a versatile cargo hauler—without the sticker shock of buying a whole new ride. It’s a smart, stylish solution for families, commuters, and anyone craving more utility from their wheels.
