A cargo bike is ideal for transporting children, groceries and other loads. It offers an environmentally friendly alternative to the car and can help you save time and money. In addition, moving in busy cities is often easier by cargo bike than by car. On the other hand, a cargo bike can be expensive, which is why some people choose another alternative.

Cargo bikes are generally very safe. For example, the Urban Arrow has an EPP container, which works like an upside-down helmet. Many cargo bikes are equipped with seat belts and accessories to protect your children and cargo. It is important to always drive carefully and maintain the bicycle regularly at an authorized dealer.

Pay attention to the stability and comfort of the cargo bike. Try out different models to see which one suits you best. Also check the load capacity, brakes, and whether there are enough safety features, such as belts and reflectors. You can try out an Urban Arrow cargo bike at one of our dealers or during a test event. Check the dealer locator or event calendar for an up-to-date overview.

It can take some time to get used to cycling with an electric cargo bike, especially if you are used to a regular bicycle. Cargo bikes are heavier and larger, which requires some practice to maneuver properly. However, after a few rides you will notice that it gets easier and easier!

An electric cargo bike offers pedal assistance, which makes cycling with heavy loads and long distances much easier. It reduces physical effort and makes it possible to travel faster and more comfortably. This is especially useful in hilly areas or when there is a lot of wind.

Regular maintenance is crucial for the lifespan and safety of your electric cargo bike. Check the tires, brakes and chain regularly. In addition, it is important to properly maintain the battery and charge it according to the instructions. Have your cargo bike checked by a professional at least once a year. You will find all Urban Arrow dealers here.

The lifespan of an electric cargo bike depends on use and maintenance. With proper maintenance, a quality cargo bike can easily last 10 years or longer. Regular inspection and replacement of wear parts are essential to extend service life.

At Urban Arrow, we specialise in building high-quality electric cargo bikes. Indeed, we were the pioneers in this field. There is no denying our passion for these bikes. After ten years of exclusively producing cargo bikes, we have become the most reliable and low-maintenance cargo bike brand on the market. By working with renowned partners such as Bosch, Enviolo and Schwalbe, we guarantee the highest possible quality. No wonder the Urban Arrow Family was voted electric cargo bike of the year 2023 by the RAI Association!

With an Urban Arrow cargo bike, you are always guaranteed a smooth ride. Thanks to the lowered centre of gravity, you will experience better handling and balance when using our cargo bikes.

Have you tried different kinds of cargo bikes? At several Urban Arrow dealers, you can test ride various models to find the one that suits your preferences best.

Urban Arrow was the first to introduce the Family Cargo bike with a streamlined and lightweight design. After over 10 years of producing electric cargo bikes, Urban Arrow has become a highly reliable and low-maintenance (and cost-effective) option.

Comfort is ensured by thick Schwalbe ‘Balloon’ tyres that absorb most shocks.

While Urban Arrow’s disc brakes may need more attention, they are the safest choice for steep hills or mountains, especially with busy traffic and heavy loads. The robust steering rod requires minimal maintenance, and the bike features gears via the Enviolo hub and a reliable Bosch motor system. All in all, a fantastic cargo bike.

Urban Arrow boasts a large and accredited global network of dealers. You can test ride and order an Urban Arrow at any of these authorised dealers.
