18 years ago we started selling Brooks saddles… and we’ve been fans ever since 👌

But what actually makes them more comfortable bit also a bit more expensive than other saddles?
Time to find out 🔍

So we headed to the factory of Brooks England 🇬🇧
Built a saddle ourselves and saw firsthand how much work goes into it.

Our conclusion?
It’s actually a bargain.

So much craftsmanship, so much attention to detail…
and still handmade in England.

Thanks for the behind-the-scenes look 🙌

What if you want to carry two kids in seats + a Maxi-Cosi in your cargo bike?
Most people would say: don’t buy a Bullitt.

But as you can see… it can be done. 👀

We built this Bullitt X EP8 with a Hardus LXDT box, fitted with a Bullitt Twinseat (with belts) and a Steco Maxi-Cosi mount. Easy in & out thanks to the side doors, and the kids stay dry under a custom-made Hardus canopy.

We added some extra practicality too:
– Dropper seatpost for quick adjustments
– MIK adapter for easy rear rack storage

All in all, a build we’re seriously proud of 💥

🚲 JUST IN: Larry vs Harry E-Bullitt EP600 ⚡

Introduced yesterday, ready to ride in our showroom today: the brand-new Larry vs Harry E-Bullitt with Shimano Steps EP600.
The perfect middle ground between the E6100 and EP801 — powerful, refined, and built for demanding daily use.

👉 Good news:
- The EP600 delivers an impressive 85 Nm of torque
- The E6100 has received a price reduction with the arrival of the EP600

All three versions are in stock in Rotterdam: E6100, EP600 and EP801.

Not sure which motor best suits your needs (kids, cargo, commuting or a custom build)?
Our blog has been fully updated with a clear comparison of all Shimano Steps options 👇

We know it’s been quiet here for a while…
That’s not because we’ve slowed down – quite the opposite. Things have been busy with online orders, in the workshop, in customer service, and everywhere in between.

Right now we’re looking for some extra hands to keep the wheels turning:
- Bike mechanic / all-round workshop assistant – handy with tools and bikes, we’ll teach you the small details.
- Customer service – helping people choose the right gear and making sure everything runs smoothly after their purchase.

Other positions are open too.
So if you love bikes and you’re looking for a flexible part-time role or a full-time spot in a small, passionate team – check out our vacancies at https://rat-bikes.com/vacatures

Hopefully with some new crew on board, we’ll have a bit more time to post again soon 😉

AS GOOD AS IT GETS: Bullitt EP801 XT Di2.. This absolute beauty recently left our workshop to a happy customer: the Bullitt EP801 with Shimano XT Di2 automatic shifting — one of the most powerful and refined Bullitts ever made.

The EP801 has been available for about a year now, and it’s a perfect match for the Bullitt platform: massive power delivered in a smooth, controlled way, paired with Shimano’s fully automatic electronic shifting system.

We currently have the EP801 XT Di2 in black available directly from stock — no wait time!

✨ Key highlights:
🔸 Shimano STEPS EP801 motor system (85 Nm torque)
🔸 Fully automatic Shimano XT Di2 electronic shifting
🔸 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes for maximum stopping power
🔸 Advanced heat management for sustained power on long climbs
🔸 Highly configurable via Shimano E-Tube Project app
🔸 Ultra quiet, compact & lightweight (only 2.7 kg)

This is Larry vs Harry’s top-of-the-range Bullitt: faster, lighter, more powerful, and smoother than any cargo bike you’ve ever ridden. A true eBullitt experience — ready for heavy loads, steep hills, or long-distance urban commuting.

MORE SPACE ON YOUR BULLITT! As you know, at Rat Bikes we swear by the Bullitt — the best handling and most versatile cargo bike on the market.

One question we hear from time to time: “Is the Bullitt big enough for me?”
Maybe 5-6 years ago that was a fair concern — but not anymore.
Of course there’s the longer Bullitt X (22 cm longer than standard), but lately we’ve also been upgrading many Bullitts with extra wide cargo boxes from Hardus Velofurn — available in various widths and even with a fold-out side door for easier loading of kids or dogs.

Pictured here is the LT version of the box:
🔸 160 liters of cargo volume
🔸 Side door for easy access
🔸 Optional bench seat and Isofix child seat mount
🔸 Made from lightweight, waterproof phenol plywood
🔸 Designed exclusively for Bullitt bikes

Installation? Easy peasy. Seriously — even your grandma could do it.

Whether you’re transporting children, pets, groceries or gear, these boxes turn your Bullitt into an even more capable hauler.
