Cycling and sailing combined
Want a Whike?
We can imagine you do, at least we hope so. Therefore, we will explain a few practical matters. Most important is the question: "Am I allowed to use it?" The answer is yes, the Whike is a bicycle and complies with all the standards to be considered as such. We received feedback from all over the world, and feel wholeheartedly welcome.
Storage is another, the Whike vehicle is wider and longer than a normal bike. The entrance needs to be minimum 90 cm broad to be able to enter it. Your personal bike may often travel with you in public transport, if space is available. We recommend you to check possibilities when planning a trip.
How to get one
Becoming a sail-cyclist is incredibly fun, and we very much welcome new ambassadors. So, we want to make sure a Whike will fit your expectations.
Write us an email to get in touch, we are then able to exchange about the kind of usage and the environment where you plan to use your Whike. Your Whike will be assembled upon order.
Taxes and transport
All prices on our website are Dutch VAT-inclusive. Businesses outside the Netherlands, with a European VAT number can request a reverse charge VAT.
Most cargo in Europe can be done by truck, and we are able to ship the Whike ready to ride in these cases. Shipping a Whike in this big box is costlier than the air transport box, but avoids reassembly. Transportation costs are calculated when you decide to order, but we will provide an estimation.
Whike extras
We only keep a small selection of accessories that can be fitted to the Whike. A lot of extras can be bought in regular or recumbent cycle shops and on websites. For example, there exists a wide variety of cycle computers that will fit the Whike.
