You’ve certainly seen them taking over big cities: cargo bikes have arrived and are making their mark!
These bikes, equipped with a loading space at the front or back, offer a practical, economical, and eco-friendly 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 loads allow you to carry numerous items, packages, or simply your groceries... a lifesaver for many non-motorized city dwellers!
Additionally, some cargo bikes are designed to carry children, offering a safe and fun alternative for urban families.
Making everyday life easier
The best friend for small daily tasks
In addition to the environmental benefits, cargo bikes can also be very economically advantageous. They are much less expensive to buy and maintain compared to a car, making them a great alternative for urban living.
Say goodbye to parking fees, overpriced insurance, and gas costs, and hello to simplicity. The cargo bike will make your daily life easier!
In recent months, many companies have opted for cargo bikes for their external missions, so why not you?

STILL PROGRESSING
Improvements still needed...
Despite this growing trend, small changes are still needed to fully accommodate this type of bike.
Indeed, these bikes, being wider and heavier, are not compatible with all infrastructures. While cargo bikes have many advantages, there are also some challenges to overcome to generalize their adoption. Urban infrastructure needs to be adapted to accommodate cargo bikes, with well-designed bike lanes and 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... Cargo bikes are at the heart of all trends!
cargo family
Cargo bike... even with the family!
"Riding a bike with others? Impossible!" With these bikes, challenge the stereotypes. In fact, many bikes now offer alternatives for creating passenger spaces at the back. With a typically large bench, offering a comfortable seat for a second passenger, some models even allow up to two child seats.
