VELORBIS
A hand-made transport beauty that can carry up to 100 kg loads, yet still with excellent riding capabilities! This is the perfect inner-city delivery bicycle.
The VELORBIS Long John bicycle is a transport bike with an extraordinary long-wheel base that can carry a huge load, but can still squeeze through traffic with ea...se. In order to carry considerably more loads on a 2-wheeler bicycle, the design and ergonomics require a long-wheel base structure where the front wheel is steered via a linkage. Bicycles such as the VELORBIS Long John have the carrier extremely low, making them very stable with large loads.
Cycle trailers can provide a good solution to the problem of quickly adapting a bicycle to be capable of carrying extra loads. However, they do suffer from disadvantages, such as
one wheeled trailers are scarcely wider than the towing bicycle, but are restricted to carrying loads of only up to about 30 kg
two wheeled trailers can carry higher payloads, but can clip kerbs and overturn when cornering
restrict access to some cycle paths and gaps through congested traffic
are not easy to keep under observation when in motion
These disadvantages might be overcome by fitting the load carrying extension to the front, not the rear of a bicycle. The traditional delivery bike has the basket in front. Our Danish Long John, originally marketed around 1938, takes this to an extreme and has a stated load carrying capacity of 100 Kg. It can carry bags of cement weighing this much without experiencing any great impact on the handling of the bike. Going up hill is of course much harder work, but no different to towing a heavily laden trailer. The basket on the Long John protrudes only a small amount beyond the pedals and so causes little restriction on the gaps through which the bike can pass.
The Long John is a great child carrier too. Note that as a child carrier, the child or children can be observed by their custodian and they get a clear view of what is going on around them. Perhaps they are also more visible to motor traffic than they would be in a trailer.

Stop the traffic in style with this urban icon – cool design and raw distressed finish meets luxury leather accessories and blond highlights in a medley of cycling style. The unique distressed finish is combined with luxurious Brooks® leather handles and Brooks® leather saddle and a Brooks® mud flap to ensure the perfe...ct ride and aged look.
The brand new SCRAP DELUXE bicycle from VELORBIS will certainly turn a few heads, particularly with its blond ‘Fat Frank’ balloon tires from German tire producer Schwalbe. Attention-seekers be prepared – Scrap Deluxe has arrived!
The SCRAP DELUXE upright balloon bike belongs to a category of classic bicycles that has many different names. This type of classic bicycle it is called everything from a sit-up-and-beg bicycle, a vintage bicycle, a retro style bicycle, to an 'Opafiets' - (Grandpa bike in Dutch). In the USA the most common term is a commuter bike, utility bike or an upright bike. The most popular European term is the 'Dutch Bike´ or 'Dutch style bicycle'. In many contexts is really a generic term being used to describe a style of bike, typically a two-wheeled, utilitarian bicycle, with mudguards (US: fenders), a rack, relaxed diamond frame or geometry, an upright seating position and generally an “old-timey” look harking back to the turn of the 20th century. It is a style of bike you find all over Northern Europe, from bicycle friendly cities such as Copenhagen and Amsterdam, to Hamburg, Stockholm and Oslo.
Balloon tires
Balloon tires were fashionable in the first half of the last century and were developed to counteract poor road conditions. However, they were heavy and slow. Nevertheless the basic theory from that time remains valid and is sustained in the Balloon bikes of today. Only nowadays SCRAP DELUXE’s SCHWALBE FAT FRANK tires far outperform balloon tires from back then, so that Balloonbikes equipped with FAT FRANK broad tires roll easily and are completely effortless to steer. The “Balloonbike" concept not only makes commuting on bikes more comfortable - it's so simple. Instead of complicated suspension technology the natural absorption of bumps is made possible by the pneumatic cushioning of the special, wide FAT FRANK tires. This small attribute has significant consequences. It is not only fundamental to a new riding experience of the SCRAP DELUXE, but has also brought this ingenious cycling principle up-to-date.

Enclosed Hub Gears
Enclosing the gears protects the machinery and the bicycle commuter from the weather, hence they involve much lower maintenance than the derailleur systems found on most bikes. Another advantage of internal gears is that they are very simple on the outside and come with a chain guard. This is a much cleaner option allowing you to ride in any clothing you choose rather than having to wear specialist cycle gear. Our SCRAP DELUXE bicycle is available with 3, 5 or 8 speed Sturmey Archer hub gears and fully enclosed Sturmey Archer hub drum brakes.
Upright bike comfort
SCRAP DELUXE Dutch-style upright bike come with a traditionally lugged and brazed hand built diamond frame, to give an upright and relaxed and ultra convenient riding posture – widely referred to as sit-up-and-beg style. This gives a high vantage point from which bike commuters can view the traffic, as well as making it easy to look behind you and soak in all of the sights and sounds of the village, town or city.
Fully equipped
Our SCRAP DELUXE upright bike is fully equipped and comes with mudguards, mud flap, coat guards, chain guard, enclosed 3W dynamo driven head lamp AND dynamo driven rear lamp, a kick stand, ding dong bell and a stock rear rack as standard equipment. The stock rear rack has a couple of unique features that stand out. One of them is the hook on the side of the rear rack for carrying your grocery bags and another feature is the spring loaded flap on top of the rear rack to hold things secure. This is especially nice for trips to the grocery as you can slide your empty grocery bags under the flap on the way there and then hang them on the side on the way home. The SCRAP DELUXE upright bike can be easily and seamlessly integrated into your everyday routine, whether you use it for commuting, shopping or simply arriving in style to meet your friends for a coffee at the local café.
Lightweight
With all of their standard features, traditional balloon commuter bicycles tend to be heavier than carbon bikes, racer bikes and mountain bikes, etc. Therefore we have equipped our gents SCRAP DELUXE commuter bike models with traditionally lugged and brazed hand built diamond frames from the highest quality Chromoly steel, rather than using the traditional and heavier hi-ten steel frames you find on other steel bicycles today. These initiatives reduce the overall weight of our bicycles to stunning 18,0 kg (36 lbs) and make them a perfect fit for navigating through traffic jams, lifting on and off trains or down steps, etc. Having said this - DO NOT worry about weight. 100 million daily cyclists in Europe couldn’t tell you what their bike weighs. It’s the ride that counts, and on our SCRAP DEUXE upright commuter and utility bike, you can rest assure that you ride in style!Read More

VELORBIS
VELORBIS, the mavericks of classic bicycle design, are pleased to announce the launch of The Dannebrog (pronounced ‘Dan-eh-broh’) – the beautiful new red upright bike for ladies that reflects the history and heritage of Denmark.
The kingdom of Denmark has a big heart and an equally large appreciation of cycling and the ...easy, chilled culture that goes with it. Copenhagen is arguably the world’s leading and most friendly bike capital in the world.
The Dannebrog classic bicycle pays homage to its namesake – the legendary national flag of Denmark and its monarchy. It is the oldest state flag in the world still in use, dating back to the 13th century. Myth has it that during the Battle of Valdemar (Volmerslaget in Danish), which took place near Lyndanisse (now Tallinn) in Estonia on 15th June 1219 the flag fell from the sky during a critical stage in the battle, resulting in Danish victory. The Dannebrog therefore remains a symbol of good luck and prosperity.
VELORBIS has taken inspiration from this royal Danish icon and has created a fitting tribute in a bicycle that has true prestige. The Dannebrog flag is red with a white Scandinavian cross that extends to the edges of the flag. This is reflected in the colour scheme of the bicycle, from the stunning, fire-engine red of the frame through to the creamy white ‘blonde’ tyres. This is a traffic-stopping bicycle.
The elegant, feminine shape of the light-weight steel lugged frame, has been taken from the timeless/ever-popular Victoria ladies model. As with all VELORBIS bicycles, this Dannebrog classic bicycle is as beautiful to ride as it is to look at. The Dannebrog is an upright traditional style bicycle in shape and its heart, soul and charisma are unmistakably Danish.
Ride like royalty. Enjoy a piece of cycling tradition. Be a lady in red.
Enclosed Hub Gears
Enclosing the gears protects the machinery and the bicycle commuter from the weather, hence they involve much lower maintenance than the derailleur systems found on most bikes. Another advantage of internal gears is that they are very simple on the outside and come with a chain guard. This is a much cleaner option allowing you to ride in any clothing you choose rather than having to wear specialist cycle gear. Our Dannebrog bicycle is available with 5 or 8 speed Sturmey Archer hub gears and fully enclosed Sturmey Archer hub drum brakes.
Upright bike comfort
Victoria Dannebrog Dutch-style upright bike come with a traditionally lugged and brazed hand built diamond frame, to give an upright and relaxed and ultra convenient riding posture – widely referred to as sit-up-and-beg style. This gives a high vantage point from which bike commuters can view the traffic, as well as making it easy to look behind you and soak in all of the sights and sounds of the village, town or city.
Fully equipped
Our Dannebrog upright bike is fully equipped and comes with mudguards, mud flap, coat guards, chain guard, enclosed 3W dynamo driven head lamp AND dynamo driven rear lamp, a kick stand, ding dong bell and a stock rear rack as standard equipment. The stock rear rack has a couple of unique features that stand out. One of them is the hook on the side of the rear rack for carrying your grocery bags and another feature is the spring loaded flap on top of the rear rack to hold things secure. This is especially nice for trips to the grocery as you can slide your empty grocery bags under the flap on the way there and then hang them on the side on the way home. The Dannebrog upright bike can be easily and seamlessly integrated into your everyday routine, whether you use it for commuting, shopping or simply arriving in style to meet your friends for a coffee at the local café.
Lightweight
With all of their standard features, traditional balloon commuter bicycles tend to be heavier than carbon bikes, racer bikes and mountain bikes, etc. Therefore we have equipped our Dannebrog commuter bike models with traditionally lugged and brazed hand built diamond frames from the highest quality Chromoly steel, rather than using the traditional and heavier hi-ten steel frames you find on other steel bicycles today. These initiatives reduce the overall weight of our bicycles to stunning 18,0 kg (36 lbs) and make them a perfect fit for navigating through traffic jams, lifting on and off trains or down steps, etc. Having said this - DO NOT worry about weight. 100 million daily cyclists in Europe couldn’t tell you what their bike weighs. It’s the ride that counts, and on our Dannebrog upright commuter and utility bike, you can rest assure that you ride in style!Read More
The kingdom of Denmark has a big heart and an equally large appreciation of cycling and the ...easy, chilled culture that goes with it. Copenhagen is arguably the world’s leading and most friendly bike capital in the world.
The Dannebrog classic bicycle pays homage to its namesake – the legendary national flag of Denmark and its monarchy. It is the oldest state flag in the world still in use, dating back to the 13th century. Myth has it that during the Battle of Valdemar (Volmerslaget in Danish), which took place near Lyndanisse (now Tallinn) in Estonia on 15th June 1219 the flag fell from the sky during a critical stage in the battle, resulting in Danish victory.
