Bicycle Trike Conversions

A LOW CARBON MOBILE BUSINESS

Take your mobile catering business into busy pedestrian areas with our vintage 1930s/40s trikes. These eye-catching and quirky bikes evoke images of ice cream vendors and bakers selling their wares in continental piazzas, and are certain to turn heads as you ride by.

Despite their compact size, our trikes are surprisingly versatile. For a relatively small investment, you could set up a mobile catering trike business selling coffee, prosecco, gin, sandwiches, craft beer – even freshly baked pizza!

st marks trike testimonial

“We are really excited to have our new coffee trike. To find a company like The Big Coffee to help us see our first ‘pop up’ café project through has been a real blessing. We are so pleased with our coffee trike and can’t wait for the community to see it. Thank you to the team who made our coffee trike and to Claire, Rob and David for a great handover. We can’t wait to feed back the response we get from our church and community.”
