cargo bike

Rad Power Bikes has launched the RadWagon 4 cargo ebike, and is hoping that its new frame, custom tires and better uphill hauling chops will persuade you to leave the family car at home for your shopping trips, school runs and commutes to work.

EAV's family of quadracycles is one of the more interesting urban delivery solutions of recent years. EAV now teams with Finnish electric drive hardware/software specialist Revonte in further evolving its pedal-assist electric drive platform.

Two interesting urban cargo hauling solutions are now working together. The Tern GSD electric cargo bike and Carla Cargo bike trailer are becoming a powerful but compact delivery team, carrying up to 700 lb (318 kg) through tight urban spaces.

The Model 1 from Civilized Cycles combines scooter, moped, electric bike and cargo bike into one funky-looking ride. Those integrated panniers lock up to haul 20 liters of cargo inside, or pull out to offer 80 liters of extended carrying capacity.

The Tricksy is designed to serve as both a cargo trike and a shopping cart.

Designed by a group of French entrepreneurs, the AddBike is a two-wheeled cargo carrier that replaces a bike's front wheel.

​While many people use cargo bikes to haul their small children from place to place, how do they cart their tykes around upon reaching their destination? Well, in the case of the Dragonfly 2in1, the kid-carrying cabin simply detaches from the rest of the bike, becoming a stroller.

If you're a business looking to cut down on local delivery costs or an active family wanting to leave the car in the driveway for the school run, electric cargo bikes can be a great fair weather ride. The latest bucket-packing two wheeler to blip on our sonar is the limited run Ultimate e-Cargo.

The first electric cargo bike from Minnesota bike builder Surly is a long-tailed two-wheeler fitted with Bosch’s brawniest EV drive unit, promising the kind of pulling power befitting an “18-wheeler of the cargo bike world.”​

​Cargo bikes may be handy for schlepping stuff around, but they're also rather long and ungainly to park, store, or use as regular commuters. That's why German product design student David Maurer-Laube created the Convercycle – it's a standard-length e-bike that folds out to haul cargo.

Copenhagen's Coh&Co says that its upcoming VeloSled – affectionately dubbed Anna – was inspired by the Inuit "qamutiik" dog sleds, but swaps pooch power for a human rider. The visually arresting cargo bicycle's extra long rack out front can transport people, the family dog and, of course, cargo.

​Cargo bikes may be great for hauling your crap (or kids) around, but they can be rather ungainly when used as regular commuters. Well, the German-made muli addresses that shortcoming with a cargo basket that folds in when not in use.
