Tandem Bike (FOR RENT ONLY)

Onderwater Family Tandem (RENTAL ONLY)

The Ultimate Dutch Multi-Rider Family Bike!

If you are looking for a way to transition your kids out of a front-loading box bike (*bakfiets*) but aren't completely ready to set them loose on their own wheels in city traffic, the Onderwater Tandem is the perfect bridge.

Designed in the Netherland, this heavy-duty family bus solves the biggest issue of standard tandems: keeping your eyes on your kids. The adult steers and controls the bike from the comfortable, upright rear position, while your children sit in front, enjoying an unobstructed view of the road and contributing to the pedal power.

Why It Outperforms Standard Cargo Options?

Interactive Co-Riding! Children stay engaged because they are actively pedaling, yet a clever freewheel mechanism allows them to rest their feet whenever they get tired while you keep moving.

Uncompromised Visibility!  Unlike a traditional rear tag-along or child seat, your children are entirely in your field of vision, making it easy to talk, point out sights, and monitor their safety.

Commercial-Grade Utility! When the kids grow up or aren't on board, the front seating components can be removed to accommodate a massive transport crate or cargo box, converting it into a heavy-duty delivery machine.

Key Technical Specifications
Built to true Dutch utility standards—featuring oversized, hand-soldered steel tubing and robust anti-rust powder coating—the Onderwater is engineered to withstand years of heavy outdoor storage and constant use. 

• Frame: Heavy-duty, lugged steel with zinc carbonate anti-rust primer 
• Gearing: NuVinci/Enviolo CVT) 
• Braking System: Low-maintenance Shimano Roller Brakes (front and rear) 
• Drivetrain: Fully enclosed chaincases to prevent greasy trousers and grit buildup
• Lighting: Hub dynamo-powered front LED headlamp with automatic standlight
• Security: Integrated AXA rear-wheel ring lock 

A Note on Handling: Because the steering linkage extends to the front wheel while you sit over the rear axle, it feels unique on your first block. However, thanks to its rigid frame geometry and low center of gravity, it stabilizes beautifully once loaded.
