Buying advice for an Cargo
Frame material
E-bike cargo and freight bikes have robust frame constructions that are specially designed for transporting loads. These frames are usually reinforced and provide a stable platform for transporting heavy goods. Steel frames are widely used on cargo e-bikes and cargo bikes as they offer high strength and durability, which is particularly important when transporting heavy loads. Aluminium frames are a lighter alternative to steel frames and still offer sufficient strength and rigidity for transporting loads. The choice of frame material depends on various factors, including personal preference, budget and area of use of the cargo bike.
Chassis
The frame geometry of cargo bikes is often designed to provide a stable platform for transporting loads. With e-bike cargo bikes, the term chassis may not be used in the traditional sense as with motorised vehicles. Instead, the chassis refers more to the overall construction of the bike, which supports the transport of loads and ensures stable handling. Some e-bike cargo and freight bikes may have suspension that can absorb shocks and vibrations from uneven roads to provide an improved ride comfort. This can be particularly beneficial on longer journeys or on rough terrain.
Wheels
E-bike cargo and freight bikes are often equipped with sturdy wheels and tyres that can carry the additional load of transporting loads. Wide tyres with a robust tread provide traction and stability, especially on uneven roads and paths. Wider rims provide a more stable platform for transporting loads and can accommodate wider tyres that provide additional traction and stability. The choice of wheels for an e-bike cargo or freight bike depends on various factors, including the total weight of the load, the intended use and personal preferences.
Tyres
The tyre tread plays a role in the traction and handling of the bike, especially on different types of surfaces. E-bike cargo and freight bikes often require tyres with a balanced tread pattern that perform well on both paved roads and unpaved trails. Many cargo and freight bike tyres are equipped with additional protective layers that can prevent the penetration of nails, broken glass and other sharp objects. Some cargo or cargo bike e-bikes may be fitted with tubeless-compatible tyres. Tubeless tyres offer the advantage of lower rolling resistance and improved puncture resistance as they do not require inner tubes.
Brakes
Due to the increased weight and load capacity, cargo bikes are often equipped with powerful brakes that provide reliable deceleration and control. Disc brakes are particularly popular on cargo bikes as they offer improved braking performance and modulation. Disc brakes are widely used on cargo bikes and offer reliable braking performance regardless of weather conditions and the weight of the load. Hydraulic disc brakes offer improved braking performance and smoother brake modulation compared to mechanical disc brakes. The choice of brakes for an e-bike cargo or freight bike depends on various factors, including the total weight of the load, personal preference and budget.
Battery motor
The cargo e-bike is equipped with a powerful motor that usually offers an output of 250 to 1000 watts. They are specially designed to transport heavy loads and provide sufficient support and acceleration for journeys with heavy loads. Together with a robust battery, they provide a reliable power supply for transporting goods in urban environments. In principle, cargo e-bikes can reach speeds of up to 25 km/h or 45 km/h.
