You've certainly seen them taking over every major city: cargo bikes have arrived and made themselves right at home!
These bikes, equipped with a loading space at the front or rear, offer a practical, economical and ecological solution for transporting goods and people. Shapeheart breaks down this phenomenon and all the advantages of this new type of bike.
THE "TRUNK" THAT WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE
Storage space: a must-have
Cargo bikes offer great flexibility in terms of transport space. Their spacious cargo areas allow you to carry many goods, parcels or simply your groceries... Enough to save many non-motorized city dwellers!
Moreover, some cargo bikes are designed to carry children, offering a safe and fun alternative for families in urban environments.
Simplify your daily life
The best friend for small everyday errands
Beyond the environmental benefits, cargo bikes can also be very economically advantageous. Indeed, much less expensive to buy and maintain compared to a car, the cargo bike can be a very good alternative for urban life.
Say goodbye to parking fees, sky-high insurance costs and fuel expenses, and hello to simplicity. The cargo bike will make your daily life easier!
Over the past few months, many companies have opted for the use of cargo bikes for their external missions, so why not you?

ALWAYS MAKING PROGRESS
Improvements still needed...
Despite this growing trend, small changes are still needed to fully accommodate this type of bike.
Indeed, these bikes, wider and heavier, are not compatible with all infrastructure. Although cargo bikes have many advantages, there are also a few challenges to overcome in order to generalize their adoption. Urban infrastructure must be adapted to accommodate cargo bikes, with well-designed cycle lanes as well as adequate parking spaces.
Some regions can also encourage the use of cargo bikes by offering financial incentives and supporting the creation of cargo bike delivery services. Economical, ecological... The cargo bike is at the heart of every trend!
cargo family
Cargo bike... Even as a family!
"Getting around by bike with several people? Impossible!" With these bikes, defy the prejudices. Indeed, many bikes now offer alternatives to create passenger spaces at the rear of the bike. With a generally very wide bench seat leaving comfortable room for a second passenger, you can also fit up to two child seats on certain models.
A two-wheeler that revolutionizes family travel and gives you one more reason to ride green!
The cargo bike has already won over many active city dwellers — will you give it a try?
