The HNF Nicolai CD1 and CD2 are two remarkable models in the field of e-cargo bikes. While the CD1 is no longer available, it made a name for itself with its innovative design and the ability to integrate Sortimo boxes. These boxes provided craftsmen with a practical and secure way to transport tools and materials.

The CD2, the successor to the CD1, brings numerous improvements and new features, including a patented tilting technology that ensures a stable and safe ride. However, the CD2 lacks the ability to integrate the popular Sortimo boxes, which is a disadvantage for many craftsmen.

A customer, however, found a creative solution to this problem. In collaboration with Sortimo, he developed a special setup that transforms the CD2 into a CD1. This conversion cost around 4000 CHF and now offers craftsmen the much-needed lockable storage space for tools, ladders, and other materials.

The conversion includes several Sortimo boxes that are securely and stably attached to the frame of the CD2. These boxes are lockable, providing high protection against theft and weather conditions. Additionally, they are modular, allowing craftsmen to arrange their equipment individually and expand it at any time.

Another advantage of this conversion is increased flexibility. Craftsmen can now transport all their equipment on the bike and are no longer dependent on additional vehicles. This not only saves costs but is also more environmentally friendly and efficient, especially in urban areas with heavy traffic.

The customer who carried out this conversion reports a significant improvement in his workflows. He can now work faster and more efficiently, as he always has all the necessary tools and materials at hand. He also appreciates the increased security that the lockable boxes provide.

The collaboration with Sortimo was crucial. Sortimo is known for its high-quality and well-thought-out storage solutions, specifically designed for use in vehicles. By adapting these systems to the CD2, a customized solution was created that meets the needs of craftsmen.

Overall, this conversion shows that with a little creativity and collaboration, customized solutions can be found that meet the specific requirements of craftsmen. The HNF Nicolai CD2, combined with the Sortimo boxes, now offers an excellent alternative to the no longer available CD1 and ensures that craftsmen can continue to work efficiently and safely.

This case could also inspire other craftsmen to make similar adjustments and thus fully exploit the advantages of the CD2. It shows that the potential of e-cargo bikes is far from exhausted and that new possibilities can arise through individual adjustments and creative solutions.
