# Haul-A-Day Elite A revolutionary long-tail cargo bike
** **
####
**A light weight, high performance cargo bike is not an oxymoron! Strong and light CAN go together. This is a cargo bike you will want to ride the long way home after your day of errands.**
In 2023 we gave the whole frame and accessory options an overhaul, the original Bike Friday Haul-a-Day launched on Kickstarter in 2014. Using almost 10 years of customer feedback and racing success in the Disaster Relief Trials (winning more than 7 times in 5 events) we have developed a list of additional features and improvements that make the Haul-a-Day Elite a cargo bike that can do so many things no other cargo bike can.
**The new Haul-a-Day Elite is stiffer, lighter, has an equivalent capacity, and handles a heavy load with more stability than the original Haul-a-Day. It retains all the same great features and ****improves on them by adding more! It also rides great with or with out e-assist.
**
The base model Haul-a-Day Elite, without e-assist, starts at 34lbs and comes with several options of gearing, handlebar style and colors. There are two options of e-assist style if you want an additional boost on your bike for any load or hill!
#### Improvements include:
- Twin adjustable main-tubes for twice the stiffness and control with heavy loads. Providing a solid, capable, and sturdy ride without adding weight, and allowing one bike frame to adjust to fit a wide size range of riders (4'-9" to 6'-6"). A totally different sizing universe from other brands.
- 1lb lighter frame through triangulated space-frame technology.
- Total weight rating at 440lbs (200kg) (rider + bike + cargo) GVWR.
- Compressionless brake housing for improved braking
- Dedicated rear light mount on the optional Diamond Deck
- Clearance for 2.25” tires with fenders and up to 2.4" tires under certain component combinations (see bikepacking package option)
- Accessory improvements to the kickstand and the Whoopee Deux bar. (More pictures and details coming soon, bikes built in July will have accessory improvements on them)

##### New accessory additions to the Haul-a-Day Elite:
- New Elite frame bag option made at Bike Friday
- New head tube braze-on that fits multiple brands' bags and racks
- Improved Yepp seat adapter compatibility (up to 2 Yepp seats).
- New front rack design
##### Other Unique and Valuable Features of the Haul-a-Day Elite:
####
- The lightest long-tail cargo bike built today. For perspective...other top brands weigh 15-40 lbs more for the same carrying capacity. You can actually lift this bike!
- As the original vertical parking cargo bike, we ensured the Haul-a-Day Elite still stands on its rear end for small footprint storage, just like the first Haul-a-Day did 10 years ago.
- Fits on many transport racks: bus, car, and train. It even stands upright on its rear end for easy storage.
- It can even disassemble to fit inside a car trunk for long distance travel!
- **The only long-tail cargo bike built in the U.S.A.**
###
##### Your Perfect Size - Truly!
The Haul-a-Day Elite frame is built to adjust the frame size in three places so you can really have a cargo bike that fits you properly (rider heights from 4'-9" to 6'-6"). Raise the handlebars, lower the seatpost and/or seat mast, even adjust the frame size - you can change the size in just a few minutes to fit anyone in your family! That's equivalent to 24 different bike sizes with one bike!!
####
**The Adjustable Main Frame (Bike Friday makes the only one in the industry):**
Below you can see it only takes one Allen wrench and a few minutes to change a small bike into a large bike or large bike into a small one. With this one revolutionary feature one bike can fit almost everyone. This is the only cargo bike in the world that offers that.
