Cargo bikes can handle over 100 pounds

Cargo Bike

If you don't live in a popular biking haven, most of your deliveries are probably coming to you by truck. In major cities, more and more people are utilizing the power of biking to transport goods and services. Running deliveries with a bicycle is a great way to get fit, reduce your environmental impact, and save money. When it comes to hauling goods, most people think that it is time to ditch the bike, and hop in a motorized vehicle. But due to the ever-booming bike culture in the US, cargo bikes have become more efficient than trucks in most major cities. In cities like Copenhagen, bikes have been proven to be better delivery vehicles than trucks, and can even transport items as big as flat screen TVs and computers.

Demand for cargo bikes is ever increasing because they are able to transport large amounts of cargo, at a fraction of the cost of a truck. There is no parking fees, road tax, gas costs, or drivers licenses needed to transport a cargo bike. Businesses are always searching for a way to reduce operating costs, and cargo bikes present the perfect, economically efficient method of delivering goods to clients. Cargo bikes can transport items door-to-door, and are viewed as an ethical, green method of transportation. In addition, cargo bikes can be branded, and are extremely effective marketing tools.

The potential of pedal power is being embraced by more and more businesses as the primary source of delivery. Cargo bikes challenge the preconceived notions of what can be transported via bicycles. These bikes provide environmental benefits and efficient delivery times. In major cities such as London, New York, and Paris, cargo bikes are the quickest method of transporting goods around a city. These bikes are able to navigate through congested traffic much more fluidly than a large, boxy delivery truck. It has been proven that cargo bikes are able to make more deliveries in a day than a standard truck. Amazon ran a test to see which delivery method was fastest, by hosting time trials in New York City. The task was to transport a specific package, to an address, within a certain time limit. This test proved that bicycles moved the fastest throughout congested cities because they can navigate heavy traffic much more efficiently.

Cargo bikes can handle over 100 pounds, without any problems. For bikes that pull a large amount of cargo, operators utilize the help of electric motors to get extra power for steep hills with limited malaise.
