Cargo bike

Why choose a cargo e-bike?

There are generally many reasons to buy an e-bike. But the cargo e-bike in particular will revolutionize your everyday life! Here we have listed the best arguments for an e-cargo bike:

• Environmentally friendly: the e-cargo bike is an environmentally friendly alternative to the car and helps to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

• Easier transportation: Thanks to the electric drive, transporting heavy loads is less strenuous, especially on inclines and over longer distances.

• Practical in city traffic: Due to their compact size, cargo e-bikes are ideal for densely populated areas where parking spaces are scarce and roads are often congested.

• Cost savings: Compared to a car, an e-cargo bike is often cheaper to buy and maintain. You save on parking fees, fuel costs and much more.

• Family-friendly: E-cargo bikes are ideal for families to transport children safely and comfortably, which is particularly advantageous in urban areas.

E-cargo bike: these models are available

E-cargo bikes are available in various designs. From classic Long Johns with a transport box in front of the handlebars to trikes and backpacker cargo bikes with the transport box behind the saddle. Which model is best for you depends on your intended use and your riding style.

In general, however, a distinction can be made between two- and three-wheeled cargo bikes. We will now introduce you to these models.

Two-wheeled cargo bikes

Two-wheeled cargo bikes are characterized by their narrow design, which makes them space-saving and manoeuvrable. They are easy to maneuver through doors and can be stowed away like a normal bike.

Models such as the Long John with front loading area or the Backpacker with extended luggage rack offer a sporty riding experience. They are ideal for transporting one or two children and are equipped with useful extras such as footrests and grab handles.

We have summarized the advantages and disadvantages for you here:

Three-wheeled cargo bikes

Tricycles, also known as trikes, are divided into models with two front wheels or two rear wheels. The transport box is then located either between the two front or rear wheels.

The advantage of three-wheeled e-cargo bikes is that they offer you more load volume and legroom for the children. They also offer more safety when transporting animals and children, as the raised side walls of the transport box prevent them from jumping out.

The additional wheel provides more stability on the road. When driving slowly or when stopping, you can simply remain seated, as the three wheels allow it to stand on its own. When fully loaded, you don't need to worry about your balance. Tricycles are suitable for up to four children.

Here is an overview of the advantages and disadvantages:
