While we are still waiting on federal programming to be passed, there are a few states that are stepping up. Here are two that we are super excited about:
California
Have you heard about CalBike’s $10M E-Bike Affordability Campaign?
Well, they won! And they are now working with CARB (California Air Resources Board) to help implement incentives for Californian residents afford e-bikes more easily.
What we know so far:
Californians living under 300% of the federal poverty level will qualify
The program will launch in Q1 of 2023
Vouchers will likely be between $750 and $1,250 for a ..read more

A kayak guide in California and now Mexico, Art is above all an avid adventurer who loves to explore all corners of the world.

Heck, yeah you can… ?
The first leg of this Kombi adventure starts in La Balme-de-Thuy, a mountain town about 20 minutes outside of Annecy, France, and ends up right around Montélimar (about 300 km or 200 miles if you took the highway directly).
Starting out from Yuba France headquarters, Art and his buddy, Yuba founder, Ben, peddled through the countryside for about a week in early June.
“I had to get back my cycling legs first – and get used to the roundabouts!”
Art has been living in Mexico for the last few years, and, as he says, the landscape is a little less ..read more

When you ride a Kombi, your daily routine feels like a warm tropical breeze rather than a wild hurricane. We need your help to show folks and families what they are missing by sitting in that line of cars.
We’re giving away sweet prizes to the family with the best Kombi daily routine photo and video!
We encourage you to get really creative! Tell us a story about your morning ride, let the kiddos film or snap a photo, show yourself whizzing by a long line of cars, or even interview other cargo bike parents.
You do you, but bring us along for the ride! Fun video editing is encouraged but defin ..read more

Transporting the Final Loads on Our Yuba Cargo Bikes
Hauling Cargo On Bikes As A (Growing!) Team
The cargo bike community and Yuba family continue to grow! We’ve expanded so much that our previous space in San Juan Capistrano wasn’t big enough to hold us anymore, so after just 8 months, we’ve now moved to Lake Forest, California. Naturally, we decided to save the best part for last, and use a fleet of cargo bikes to move the last load into our new office.
We put together several cargo bikes decked out with add-ons to cover the 16 miles in style: an Electric Mundo, a Spicy Curry, and a Boda Bo ..read more

A Yuba Spicy Curry cargo bike has been seen riding around the Melbourne area decked out with custom loaf-carrying side panniers and some enthusiastic kiddos! Yuba Bicycles recently got in touch with Maude and Neil of Dougharty Baker to learn a little more about their sustainably powered Spicy Curry breadmobile – and the community bakery that it represents.
Who is Dougharty Baker?
“We run a little sourdough microbakery from the back room of our house in Melbourne, Australia. Maude does the baking (sometimes with help from her sourdough obsessed Dad) and Neil does the deliveries, and our two ..read more

Our founder Benjamin Sarrazin is not only passionate about cargo bikes, but can also be found skiing whenever not riding on two wheels. Living in a tiny ski town in the heart of the French Alps, a ski rack for his Spicy Curry cargo bike was a no-brainer. Pictured above with his two kiddos before the ski-rack came to life – cargo straps to the rescue!
Discover the first ever ski rack designed specifically for cargo bikes.
PASSION FOR PEDALING
A ski-enthusiast since he was little, Ben is now able to tow his own kiddos from his house to the slopes on his Spicy Curry – a trek tha ..read more
