Cities and urban areas are witnessing a shift as cycling replaces cars as the primary mode of transport. Notably, frontloading cargo bikes have gained traction, with the long- tail cargo bike now on the rise.
The UM long- tail cargo bike offers enhanced comfort for cargo transportation. Its 24” wheels provide a smoother ride and stability with a low center of gravity, complemented by front suspension for added comfort.

The Prodigee ICON Seats are crafted for those who value style, comfort, and uncompromised safety. Much like a parent’s protective embrace, the rear seat’s structural frame wraps around the seat and headrest, offering unparalleled security. This thoughtful design prioritizes head protection, outperforming other brands. The shock-absorbing padding ensures comfort for even the longest journeys.
The rear seat grows with your child up to 22kg, featuring an adjustable headrest, harness, and footrest. Meanwhile, the more compact front seat, though lacking an adjustable headrest, provides robust protection for children up to 16kg. These seats are not just accessories; they’re an invitation to rediscover family cycling with renewed confidence.

Thule, seeking to expand its lifestyle brand and diversify its product offerings, turned to longtime design partner MODYN to help create its first-ever car seat range. Although Thule had a vision for an infant and toddler car seat with a matching base tailored for the European market, they depended on MODYN to shape the product’s direction and ensure it stayed true to the brand’s established design principles.
Collaborating closely with Thule’s engineering team, MODYN incorporated early testing simulations, helping to streamline development and ensure compliance with strict safety standards. The result was a highly successful product line that embodies Thule’s commitment to innovation, safety, and design excellence.
