Do you ever wish your regular bike could carry more groceries, the family dog, or even your kids on a sunny day out? The Argo Fy is here to answer that wish, offering a fresh way to turn your everyday bicycle into a full-blown cargo hauler without needing to buy a whole new bike. Designed by Argo Fy, this clever front-loader conversion kit lets you transform almost any standard bike into a versatile cargo bike in just a few hours.
The Argo Fy kit is not just a basket or a rack. Instead, it completely replaces your bike’s front wheel and fork with a sturdy loading platform and a steering linkage system, similar to those found on traditional European “bakfiets” cargo bikes. But while classic cargo bikes are big, heavy, and often expensive, the Argo Fy is designed for simplicity and convenience. You can install it yourself using basic tools, and if you ever want your regular bike back, just swap the original fork and front wheel back on.

The cargo platform itself is spacious and low to the ground, making it perfect for carrying everything from bags of groceries to a child seat or even a pet. The steering system is engineered so the bike remains stable, even when fully loaded, and the extra-long wheelbase actually makes the ride feel surprisingly smooth. The kit also comes with disc brakes and a secure mounting system, so you don’t have to worry about safety, even when the cargo box is packed.
Argo Fy differentiates itself from other similar ones in the market because of its approachability. Unlike most purpose-built cargo bikes, which can be intimidatingly large or difficult to store, the Fy kit is meant for everyday riders who already have a bike they love. You can convert your city cruiser, hybrid, or even some mountain bikes, opening up a world of utility while keeping your ride personal and familiar. The conversion process is straightforward, relying on a modular design and clear instructions, so you don’t need to be a bike mechanic to get rolling.
If you live in a city or suburb and want to cut down on car trips, the Argo Fy could make the switch to bike-based errands much easier. It lets you haul bulky items, kids, or pets, and then return your bike to its original form whenever you want. It’s an eco-friendly, wallet-friendly, and surprisingly fun way to upgrade your cycling experience. As someone who cannot drive anything two-wheeled, this is probably a good thing to try out if I still want to ride a bike and keep my balance.
