Accommodating true urban lifestyle KiBiSi, PUMA and Biomega extend the PUMA Bike portfolio with a new lightweight cargo bike called Mopion which in their words "lets you cruise the streets in style".

PUMA Mopion mixes city bike features, and cargo bike features, to make it sturdy. It comes with a super-size front carrier for heavy duty. Developed for city dwellers, Mopion features a light aluminum frame, making it a lightweight cargo bike weighing 22 kilos. The geometry holds the body in a slightly inclined, but still heads-up position for navigational ease and exceptional balancing.

PUMA pared down its bikes to their essentials and constructed a new bike line with careful thought of details that meet the needs of a unique consumer set. The Mopion is created for ease of movement, urban transportation, and individual appeal. Smart European design is blended with typical urban American design and has resulted in a new Trans-Atlantic bike. Its PUMA Bike line is designed for urban mobility and finds innovative solutions for the everyday annoyances that come from maneuvering bikes through urban obstacles. "Mopion defies the expected", writes KiBiSi in their press release.

The name Mopion derives from an island in the Atlantic Ocean, symbolizing the new Trans-Atlantic approach and balancing PUMA’s European heritage with American popular culture. The colors are inspired by vibrant island colors and will be available in white, black and in the bold color combination magenta/blue/lime, at the Eurobike and Interbike shows in September 2010, and is available from spring 2011.
