Argo is an add-on kit that will transform your current bike into a light-duty cargo bike! Argo launched their first version back in 2017/2018. After a successful first wave of fulfillment, they went silent on folks until now. They just announced a 2.0 version coming summer 2025 and are taking preorders now.

I've ridden the 1.0 and serviced several many a few summers ago. For me, this is an excellent intro to cargo biking and a replacement for a trailer but not a replacement for a true heavy-duty (and tested to higher standards) cargo bike. I look forward to seeing how the 2.0 changes live up.
