Alligt offers strong and sturdy wheels, especially developed to take the high loads and rough handling associated with professional cargo bikes.

What makes our wheels so special?

The design

We did not set out to simply design nice looking wheels. We modified the shape of the spokes, over and over again. Until our FEM calculations showed that the optimum strength to weight ratio was achieved.

 

We have tested a lot of materials. We found that the Swiss produced Polyamide with glass fibers from EMS-Grivory gives us the best results.

The tools

The molds for these wheels were manufactured in the Netherlands. Optimizing communication and quality control.

 

The production

The wheels are injection molded in the Netherlands. Even with the best material, production conditions can have a huge impact on the strength of the wheels. We have spent quite some time in test molding with this trusted company until we agreed on the best possible production conditions.

 

Post molding machining

We have a five-ax

is milling machine. With it we machine the fixation points very accurately. We can also make more than one version. And we can make special versions without major investments.

 

We test and we learn

We have built several test methods. Here we try to destroy sample wheels. Just to see how strong they actually are.

We keep in touch with our customers.

They use the wheels in the rough everyday practice. We learn from their feedback.

 

ETRTO

We use the ETRTO tire dimensions because this is a rational and unambiguous system. But strictly speaking our rims do not conform to the ERTRO standard. In our newer wheels we use automotive style flanges. Because these are better suited for three- and four-wheel cargo bikes.

Rim Diameter 406 mm corresponds to most, but not all 20" bicycle and 16" moped tires.

 

The material

 

The wheels

 

CBW1 Dimensions ETRTO 27-406 Lightweight and strong Suitable for cargo bikes and velomobiles

CBW2 Dimensions ETRTO 35-406 Very strong and stiff. Suitable for heavier cargo bikes With automotive style rim to minimize “pinching”

CBW3 for Grin hub motor Dimensions ETRTO 35- 406 Very strong and stiff. Suitable for heavier cargo bikes Can be fitted with a Grin hub motor. Ideal for use in chainless systems With automotive style rim to minimize “pinching”

CBW5 Dimensions ETRTO 50- 406 Very strong. Suitable for heavier cargo bikes. The spokes are flexible, making the wheel more resilient to heavy shocks. (potholes and curbstones.) With automotive style rim to minimize “pinching” The 50 mm wide rim is also suitable for 16” moped bikes. These 16" tires seem better suited for cargo bikes. Automotive style hub fixation.

CBW5 Hybrid Dimensions ETRTO 35- 406 Very strong. Suitable for heavier cargo bikes . The flexible spokes combined with the durable aluminum rim make the wheel very resistant to heavy shocks. (potholes and curbstones.) Automotive style hub fixation.

CBW1 Hybrid Available soon Dimensions ETRTO 35- 406 Light and strong. Suitable for cargo bikes and velomobiles. The flexible spokes combined with the durable aluminum rim make the wheel very resistant to heavy shocks. (potholes and curbstones.) Automotive style hub fixation with 4 bolts at a 70 mm pitch circle.
