This is our shop demonstrator GinkGo. It's got a few dings and a slightly wobbly kickstand, but it's ours and we love it. 

It weighs nothing for a cargo bike (16kg as photographed). For reference, an Omnium Mini-Max with webbing but without suspension is 21kg. An Omnium Cargo with webbing and suspension is 23kg. The Ginkgo is a massive 30% lighter than the equivalent Adventure Omnium! 

Featuring custom heavy duty steerer plates and steering rods, and some lovely tubeless Sentient 650b wheels, this bike strikes the balance between being the most capable gravel and adventure cargo setup, and the lightest possible option for flying around day-to-day without having to try very hard.

The Sentient Works boys (James & Tullen) collected a few GinkGo frame-kits from Martin in Hoor, Sweden in July 2022. The process was documented here:

And then in 2023, followed a National Cycle Route from Dolgellau to Beddgelert for a 3 day (2 night) cargo packing trip through mid-Wales to the foot of Yr Wyddfa. Unfortunately poor weather prevented a summit attempt, but it was a lot of fun nonetheless. Until Tullen caught his kickstand on a slab of rock and ejected onto his front headset.

But from this lesson we now know that GinkGo's are best with a suspension fork, and shouldn't be taken down MTB trails with the kickstand installed. It can get snagged!

That effort was documented here: 

 

These bikes are awesome, and we would love to help any like minded people to discover this fact.

Important points to mention:

  • Lead times on frames is about 4 weeks.
  • Custom paint adds a further 3 weeks.
  • Custom builds are recommended.
  • Framekits are available on their own, but only with the standard steerer. The heavy duty steerer is a small batch produced item from Sentient Works and must be ordered separately.
  • Electric versions are available (Brose motor from GinkGo directly, or with a CYC Photon motor from us).
