The journey began with a when the company’s founder, Mr Nicolas Boisvert, a resourceful cyclist who is clever with his hands, wished to protect his bicycles from bad weather during his recreational trips. He then designed a light, watertight swivel cargo box that can be mounted on a vehicle hitch without obstructing the rear view or the back doors, whilst being easy to carry and to put away with a small trolley. Since then, the moulded fibreglass structure has replaced the original riveted sheet steel structure and a number of items have been added to NICOVA’s product range, including the Coco Vélo and cargo boxes of various size.
