Now that's what I call a Cargo Bike - this CaGo from Denmark is now available here - if are the future for travel, then this must make a strong showing for the part of that idea.

(Mind you, they're not cheap)

@ChrisMayLA6 The Wheels are too small. For Sweden. No fun in the snow and ice. My trek district 2 with a wooden crate on front and back is perfect. Studded tires in the winter.
Over 5000 km since November 2022…

@Krux_22

yes I can see that.... and wouldn't be so good out in rural N.Lancashire, but in the cities, looks like an impressive bit of kit

@ChrisMayLA6 Absolutely. I also have to sacrifice one package holder to transport a 6 yo to and from school during the winter. And a low place to transport things makes the balance less off than two high places.
I see a lot of etrikes here. Where the kids are transported in front. A bit more cumbersome to park. But a LOT better during the winter. No risk is of tipping. Works great if you have good bike paths

Another great but if kit, if as you say not quite the same riding experience....

@ChrisMayLA6 In my youngest preschool they had a kind of ebike buss. They went for 5 km trips into the library in the centre of town for example in that.
Similar to this.

@Krux_22 @ChrisMayLA6 In Manchester we have actual cargo bikes for hire on street corners. The bikes, painted bright yellow, are unlocked for hire with an app and the bin portion includes kiddie seats. I often pass them with two or three children seated whilst Mum pedals them to the local shops.

@ChrisMayLA6 @Krux_22 the electric assist evens out the hills. Bikes like this are great even in rural areas.

@ChrisMayLA6 If only they could cope with massive Welsh hills 😔 😁
