Executive Summary
The VeloSide Nordic fills the gap between expensive European cargo bikes and unsafe DIY sidecar solutions. By utilizing a universal Heim-joint hitch system and a bent-plywood monocoque body featuring a spacious top-entry cockpit, this product offers a premium Scandinavian aesthetic at a mid-range price point ($850 MSRP). Designed for urban families, the open-top design allows for easy interaction and visibility while safely transporting children or pets (up to 100 lbs) without requiring a dedicated cargo bike frame.
