Green Basikal is a Singapore-based bicycle shop LLP focused on touring and commuting needs, run by a team of cycling enthusiasts who are also parents. The team describes itself as bicycle users at large — riding for errands, work, pleasure, and touring — and rigorously tests the products it sells during daily rides with their own families.
What began as an interest in exploring and commuting cheaply gradually grew into a passion for touring the world by bicycle, which the team considers the greenest way to travel. Since having children, the team has extended that passion to cycling with kids, aiming to nurture a sense of responsibility toward the environment and community through the experience.
Green Basikal's online store covers a wide range of touring and cargo cycling needs, including touring bikes and frames, cargo bikes, child seats, trailers, panniers and bags, bikepacking gear, components, and accessories from various brands. The business offers free self-collection in Singapore, free shipping on orders over SGD100, and has previously shipped orders to Southeast Asia, Europe, and New Zealand/Australia.
Green Basikal describes itself simply as a team of bicycle users — fathers and mothers who ride for errands, work, and pleasure, and who have gradually turned that passion into a business built around touring and cargo cycling. What started as an interest in exploring and commuting around their own neighbourhood grew into something bigger: a quest to explore the world by bicycle, which the team considers the greenest way to travel.
Having children changed how the Green Basikal team thought about cycling. Rather than stepping back from it, they brought their kids along — to the post office, childcare centres, the swimming pool, for groceries, and simply for quality family time. That daily, hands-on use of their own products is central to how Green Basikal operates: the team tests everything it sells rigorously on real rides, aiming to ensure reliability and safety standards that they'd trust for their own children.
The Green Basikal store covers a wide range of needs for both long-distance touring and everyday cargo cycling. Standout products include the Yuba Kombi, a compact long tail cargo bike, the Thorn Nomad MK3 touring bike frameset, and the Omnium Mini-Max V3 cargo bike. For those wanting to ride together, the Circe Cycles Helios Tandem Bike is available solo or as a duo, and can be paired with a T2 trailer.
Beyond complete bikes, the catalogue spans bicycle components, servicing supplies, bikepacking gear, dynamo and lighting systems, handlebars and accessories, panniers and bags, racks, tyres and tubes, water bottle cages, wheels, and add-ons for Yuba and Bicicapace cargo bikes, alongside spares for Ortlieb products.
Green Basikal's child seats are approved to the EN14344 European standard and TÜV/GS safety testing, made from high-strength reinforced plastic with an ergonomically designed seating area and high backrest. Large side wheel and spoke panels help keep children's feet away from the rotating bike wheel, and the seats have no protruding or sharp parts, with shock- and temperature-resistant construction. They're designed for children up to 7 years old and a maximum weight of 22kg, though not recommended for children under 1 year old or under 9kg, and only for children able to sit unaided for the length of a ride.
Green Basikal offers only rear-fitting child seats rather than front-fitting ones, based on the team's own testing across multiple brands — rear seats offer a higher backrest, better side protection in a fall, and better shielding from wind and insects, and support higher weight limits than front-fitting alternatives. The team also offers free installation if customers bring their bicycle in after purchasing a seat.
For those needing to carry more, Green Basikal's T1 and T2 trailers each handle up to 30kg of cargo, with T1 offering 60 litres of volume and T2 offering 75 litres. The joining hook set is made of tough stainless steel, designed to deform rather than break under high torque, and can be repaired with pliers if needed.
Green Basikal offers free self-collection in Singapore, free shipping on orders over SGD100, and weight-based courier delivery fees for smaller orders, with delivery typically taking 2-5 working days depending on the item. While primarily serving Singapore, the team has shipped orders to customers in Southeast Asia, Europe, and New Zealand/Australia, and welcomes email enquiries from overseas customers interested in their products. Payment options include PayPal, bank transfer, PayNow, and cash for self-collection orders.
