At Co-Motion Cycles, turning ideas into tandems is a way of life. From their beginnings as a builder of fine custom tandems and continuing today, they have evolved into one of America's premier tandem companies. Co-Motion tandems are different. They're known for their precision handling, almost like riding a single-seat bike. Co-Motion tandems always seem to know exactly where you want to go. You're in control! And better control means you can relax and enjoy the ride. Confidence in your tandem will make you a better cyclist, whether you're stoking or captaining. When you know that your tandem will do exactly what you ask, you'll be able to relax and enjoy the ride! How does Co-Motion know this? Simple! In addition to building some very fine tandems, they also ride them. They ride to work, ride for fun, and, occasionally, you’ll even see them riding in competition.

Co-Motion Cycles also is known for listening to its customers, and to its dealers. When they hear a suggestion, from whatever source, they listen, evaluate it, and, if it’s feasible and it makes sense, incorporate what they’ve learned into the new models.

Tandems, Ltd stocks most models of Co-Motion tandems.

Robusta

The Robusta's unbelievably light and rigid triple-butted Easton 7005 aluminum frame is the embodiment of the true racing tandem.

Co-Motion achieved their goal, in part with the Woundup/Co-Motion Carbon Fiber tandem fork. In addition, the Robusta's wheels are built for speed, and acceleration. They are the fabulous Rolf Vigor tandem wheels, and they come fitted with Michelin Pro Race tires. The FSA Carbon Pro Mega Exo tandem cranks add additional performance and save even more weight. Experience for yourself how the Robusta will bring out the best from your team.

Mocha Versatility is by far the biggest reason to consider making the Mocha your all purpose recreational vehicle. The smaller diameter of the rims makes 26" wheels amazingly strong, and the wide array of available tires makes them very appealing. You can ride on tires ranging from 1" to 2.2" wide, with no tread at all or aggressive trail-grabbing lugs. The Mocha is ready for dedicated off-road use or strictly road riding: you choose. The degree of specialization is flexible too. You can fit the Mocha with upright handlebars with mountain bike controls or use drop bars with road-style levers.

Co-Pilot Option

You may have noticed the absence of the Co-Pilot in the list above. That's because Co-Motion is now offering the "Co-Pilot Option" on any steel frame tandem listed above. Yes, that means you can purchase a Supremo/Co-Pilot! or a Mocha/Co-Pilot. Or even a Primera/Co-Pilot or a PeriScope Torpedo/Co-Pilot!

Adding the Co-Pilot option to any steel frame tandem adds the flexibility of being able to take your tandem with you on your trips. Once your tandem is in its cases (we recommend two hard cases, but you can also use a backpack case or one hard case and one lightweight case for your wheels), you can check your tandem as luggage. The 26x26x10 size is within the airline limits for checked baggage, as long as you don't overpack. Best of all, it takes less than an hour to assemble or disassemble a "Co-Pilot" tandem. (Some practice may be required).

Price: Depends on # of couplers required.
