Christmas 2026: the VUF LTD longtail, the gift that makes life easier for busy mums

December is the month when the calendar overflows: school, the kids' activities, Christmas shopping, the market, presents to pick up… and always the same question: how do you get it all done without spending your life in the car and in traffic jams?

This year, what if the best gift was a bit of time and freedom? The VUF LTD electric longtail was designed for exactly that.

What is a longtail?

A longtail is a bike with an extended rear, built to carry more than a regular bike: shopping bags, a school bag, equipment… and the kids. It keeps the footprint of a bike: it slips through traffic, parks outside the school or the bakery, and rides on bike lanes.

Why busy mums love the VUF LTD

Assistance that makes hills disappear

Its Shimano EP8 Cargo motor automatically adapts the assistance to your pedalling and the terrain. Even fully loaded, the climb to school or the ride home from the market is effortless.

Range for the whole week

With its 418 Wh battery, the VUF LTD handles everyday trips: school drop-off, shopping, activities and back home. The display always shows your speed, remaining range and assistance mode.

Kids well protected

With the Side Tube Protection LTD accessory, the rear of the bike becomes a secure space to carry your children every day.

Built for everyday use

The VUF LTD is designed by VUF Bikes, a maker of professional cargo bikes, and assembled in France in our workshops. It inherits our professional standards: a bike made to be ridden every day, not left in the garage.

A stress-free December

  • Christmas shopping: no more hunting for a parking space; park right outside the shop.
  • The Christmas market: go as a family and come home with the tree… almost.
  • School and activities: no more traffic jams or double parking at 8:20 am.
  • The holidays: car-free family rides to enjoy the fresh air.

Riding in winter: our tips

  • Wear visible clothing and warm gloves for the whole family.
  • Check your lights before every ride: it's already dark at 5 pm.
  • Store the battery indoors in very cold weather to keep its charge.
  • Slow down on wet roads and fallen leaves.

A gift that replaces the car

The VUF LTD is available from €3,290 with the Light Pack and €3,490 with the Standard Pack, in several colours. An investment that quickly pays off compared with a second car: no fuel, no paid parking, affordable maintenance. Depending on where you live, a purchase grant for cargo bikes may also be available to individuals: check with your local authority.
