The FastRack’s DRS: small bike, big potential

Publish the 29 August 2025

What if we reimagined everyday mobility? Less time in the car, more freedom. Fewer constraints, more clever solutions.

What if a simple bike could change the way you move around the city?

That’s exactly what the FastRack offers: our compact, nimble cargo bike made for urban life. It weaves through traffic, carries everything you need, and above all, it adapts to you. Its secret? A unique Yuba innovation, available only with the FastRack : the Dual Rack System, or simply, the DRS system.

 

 

The DRS: An invention made for everyday life

The Dual Rack System (DRS) is the multifunctional rear rack built into the FastRack, ready to carry anything from light loads to bulky cargo. Designed to handle all the ups and downs of daily life, it lets you transform your bike to suit your needs – without ever holding you back. Think of it as the FastRack’s magic wand.

Mounted at the rear of the bike, this clever system allows you to switch configurations in seconds, no tools needed. The DRS adjusts to your routine, your lifestyle, and even those last-minute surprises.

Whether you’re a parent, city rider, weekend explorer or committed to going car-free, the DRS makes switching modes effortless. It doesn’t impose, it adapts. One bike, four smart configurations, built for real life.

 

 

DRS : 4 configurations, endless possibilities

Unlike a traditional rear rack, the Dual Rack System is anything but fixed. It offers four clever configurations, designed to cover 100% of your everyday needs, even the most unexpected ones. Each mode turns your bike into a truly versatile tool, ready to adapt to whatever life throws your way.

The DRS is secured using a lever located at the back of the bike, just beneath the two small wheels on the rear rack. When the lever is open, the DRS isn’t properly locked: riding in this position can cause it to swing from side to side, as it’s not secured. This unlocked position is what allows you to lift the sideboards and access the different configurations, such as Carry-On or Flat Bed mode.

⚠️ Always double-check that the quick-release lever is securely closed before setting off, especially when riding over bumps or uneven roads, to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

 

 

  • Compact mode

In this configuration, the DRS Sideboards fold neatly against the rear rack, turning the whole system into a sleek, streamlined module with no protruding parts. Perfect for light trips, it makes it easy to navigate through the city or store your bike in tight spaces, like a building entrance, bike room, or even your hallway.

Want to stay in Compact mode while still carrying your work essentials or a few groceries? Just add the Grab & Go: a tough, roll-top pannier bag that’s as handy for your laptop as it is for your daily shopping. Thanks to the Front Rack, the front mounting support, you can also attach various Add-Ons such as the Front Eco Deck.

Why choose Compact mode?
Discreet, space-saving, and minimalist. The bike stays nimble, stylish, and perfectly suited for everyday rides without the bulk.

 

 

  • Sideboard mode

In just a few seconds, unfold the lower side panels of the DRS and you’ve got a pair of stable, secure footrests, perfect for carrying passengers. Kids love it, and adults appreciate the comfort and practicality. It’s the ideal setup to turn your bike into a true family companion.

👉  For little ones: go for a child seat like the Yepp 2 Maxi, suitable for children up to 22 kg. These seats keep your little passengers safe and secure, so you can ride with peace of mind.

👉  From age 4: combine Sideboard mode with Monkey Bars (side safety rails) and one or two Mini Soft Spots for extra comfort. Children are well seated, protected, and free to enjoy the ride. It’s the perfect combo for school runs and weekend family outings alike.

👉  Carrying a teenager or an adult? Just add a Soft Spot (or one or two Mini Soft Spots) for a comfy rear seat. The passenger can hold onto the saddle handle or, for extra comfort, add a Crest and a BackRest to create a fully supported and secure seating area.

Why choose Sideboard mode?

  • It’s the ultimate family-friendly setup – adaptable to your passengers’ age and needs, from toddlerhood to the teenage years (and even beyond).

 

 

  • Carry-On mode

Need to carry bags, boxes or your weekly groceries? Carry-On mode turns your FastRack into a true cargo platform. By lifting the DRS side panels upright, you create a flat, sturdy loading surface bordered by raised edges on each side. This setup forms a built-in cargo box – perfect for keeping your items secure and expanding your rear rack’s capacity. Items can even overhang slightly to the front or back of the rear rack bike while staying firmly in place.

It’s the ideal mode for hauling your weekly shop, a moving box, a crate of fresh market produce, your gym bag or even DIY tools. Whether your load is bulky or a bit unstable, the DRS is designed to hold everything steady.

For added security, use the Utility Straps – tough, adjustable straps that fasten directly to the integrated anchor points on the DRS. They lock down your load effectively, keeping it secure even on corners or bumpy roads. This way, you can safely make the most of your cargo bike’s 200 kg load capacity without worrying about anything sliding off or tipping over.

Why choose Carry-On mode?

  • No more makeshift bungee cords or complex setups – everything is built in for safe, simple and versatile transport. Carry-On mode makes your bike the perfect everyday hauler, always ready for the next challenge.

 

 

  • Flat Bed mode

This is the DRS in full cargo mode. When the sideboards are folded down flat, you get a wide, sturdy platform – perfect for transporting large or bulky items. Thanks to its open sides, this setup can handle oversized loads that extend beyond the rack, such as furniture, bulky boxes, camping gear or even full crates of supplies. Integrated slots make it easy to strap down your cargo securely, keeping everything stable even on rough or winding roads.

Need to quickly switch back to passenger mode? No problem. Simply unclip the T-locks that hold the DRS flat, then tuck them into their designated slot to prevent any rattling while you ride. In just a few minutes, you can install a Mini Soft Spot and other accessories to return to the comfort of Sideboard mode. Switching from cargo to family or friends mode has never been easier.

Why choose Flat Bed mode?

  • It gives your cargo bike the capacity of a mini utility vehicle – without losing agility. And you can always switch back to carrying passengers in a flash.

 

 

Built in, not bolted on

What makes the DRS truly stand out is that it’s not an optional extra. It comes as standard on every FastRack. No need to buy it separately or have it installed – it’s already part of the bike’s design, ready to go from your very first ride.

While many cargo bikes require multiple add-ons to become truly versatile, the FastRack has the Dual Rack System built right in. In real terms, that means you can switch from passenger mode to cargo mode with the same system – no need to swap bikes or racks.

Of course, for safe passenger transport, some additional accessories like Monkey Bars or Mini Soft Spots are still needed. But the strength of the DRS lies in minimising costs and hassle: instead of investing in multiple separate systems, you start with a smart, all-in-one base that does it all.

That’s what makes the FastRack such a unique cargo bike: one of the most compact in its class, yet also one of the most modular, fully equipped to adapt to your daily life, without piling on expensive extras.

 

 

The DRS in everyday life

The DRS gives you the freedom to adapt your cargo bike to any situation, quickly and effortlessly. It turns every ride into a smooth, practical experience.

  • For the school run: Set up the DRS in Sideboard mode with Monkey Bars and Mini Soft Spots. Your kids ride safely and comfortably, free to chat or take in the city views. You save time, avoid the morning rush, and everyone arrives at school calm and smiling.
  • On rainy days: Pair the DRS with the Eco Pop Top and the Grab & Go bag. The kids stay dry, your shopping too, and your schedule stays on track. No need to stress about the weather – everything is protected and ready to go.
  • For the market: In Carry-On mode, the DRS becomes a built-in support frame that holds your bags, baskets or boxes steady – even on tight corners or cobbled streets. Your groceries stay in place, your hands stay free, and your ride stays relaxed and secure.
  • Carrying a friend or relative? Switch back to Sideboard mode, add a Crest, Hold On Bars, or simply a Mini Soft Spot, depending on the comfort level needed. The FastRack instantly becomes a comfy urban tandem – ideal for a teen, adult or visiting friend. The setup changes in seconds, and you’re ready to ride together, whether it’s a casual outing or a trip into town.

All this while staying compact, easy to park, and capable of carrying up to 200 kg – blending practicality, flexibility and everyday comfort.

 

Accessories designed to get the very best out of your FastRack

  • DRS Wrap & Go

To make the most of the FastRack’s incredible versatility, our design team has created accessories that work seamlessly with the Dual Rack System and its different modes.

One standout is the DRS Wrap & Go, a smart, all-purpose cover that fits in seconds over the rear rack in Carry-On mode, thanks to its easy-to-attach straps. It keeps your load secure and shields it from the elements with its water-repellent fabric.

Climbing enthusiast? Looking for a practical, comfortable way to get to your indoor sessions? The FastRack is your new best friend.

With the DRS Wrap & Go, the DRS doesn’t just carry your stuff – it protects it, holds it firmly, and turns your FastRack into a truly multifunctional platform, ready for all your urban and active lifestyles.

 

  • DRS Bag

The DRS Bag is another clever solution that unlocks the full potential of the FastRack. More than just a bag, it’s a multifunctional cargo system with two removable side pockets and a velcro-secured top flap that protects your gear from the elements while maximising your carrying capacity. Whether you’re transporting a small surfboard, a guitar, tools or bulky boxes, the DRS Bag adapts to all shapes and sizes. In Carry-On mode, it turns your bike into a versatile, reliable and easy-to-use cargo platform.

As Ben puts it: “A smart, practical system for carrying and securing your gear.”

 

 

A cargo bike that fits in 1 m²

With the FastRack, storing your cargo bike is child’s play. Switch the DRS to Compact mode, and you’ll have one of the most space-saving cargo bikes on the market – without compromising on capacity. Thanks to its two built-in rear wheels, you can move it around just like a suitcase, effortlessly.

No more stressing about needing a dedicated room, a garage, or rearranging furniture. With the FastRack, your cargo bike fits seamlessly into your home life – always ready to roll, while staying discreet, practical and stylish.
