Trend: the cargo bike

You've certainly seen them storm every major city: cargo bikes have arrived and have firmly established themselves!
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: an essential

    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... A real lifesaver for 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.

    Make your daily life easier

    The best companion for 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 great alternative for urban living.

    Say goodbye to parking fees, sky-high insurance costs and the price of fuel, and hello to simplicity. The cargo bike will make your daily life easier!

    Over the past few months, many companies have opted to use cargo bikes for their external missions, so why not you?

    ALWAYS PROGRESSING

    Still room for improvement...

    Despite this growing trend, small changes are still needed to fully accommodate this type of bicycle.
    Indeed, these wider and heavier bikes are not compatible with all infrastructure. While cargo bikes offer many advantages, there are also a few challenges to overcome to make their adoption widespread. Urban infrastructure must be adapted to accommodate cargo bikes, with well-designed cycle lanes and adequate parking spaces.

    Some regions can also encourage the use of cargo bikes by offering financial assistance and supporting the creation of cargo bike delivery services. Economical, ecological... The cargo bike is at the heart of all trends!

    cargo family

    Cargo bike... Even as a family!

    "Traveling by bike with several people? Impossible!" With these bikes, challenge 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 a comfortable spot 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 go green!

    The cargo bike has already won over many active city dwellers — will you be tempted?
