Aug. 18, 2022

The cargo bike has been through countless iterations and titles over time. Known as “bakfiets” in the Netherlands, these bicycles feature a front-facing carriage for cargo and people. Variations of this base design are also known as freight bicycles, box bikes, and freight tricycles.

Two-wheel Cargo Bike Vs Three-wheel Cargo Bike

Those who prefer two-wheelers tend to seek more solitary adventures. While the cargo hold on the bike can carry a considerable amount of weight, even a small child -- it's difficult to keep your balance while riding safely. The lighter weight of a two-wheeled cargo bike may also help it achieve higher speeds, which is ideal for many riders. However, fast travel can be achieved on either two - or three-wheeled cargo bikes.


Adding an electric motor attached to a cargo trike can easily help it reach similar high speeds as those achieved on cargo bicycles, but with the benefits of a wider center of gravity. For families looking to load up to four children, or 350 lbs of cargo onto their ride, the safer and more suitable option is a three-wheel Family Cargo Bike, also known as a cargo trike.

What is a 2 wheel cargo bike?

A 2 wheel cargo bike is closer to a regular bike. The main difference is that there is a large and useful box between the front and rear wheels. The frame of the bike is stretched to accommodate the cargo carrier. Just like a regular bicycle, the 2 wheel cargo bike rider maintains balance by forwarding momentum. When parking the bike or loading a child, a stand is used to prevent the bike from tipping over. 


The main advantages of a 2 wheel cargo bike are:

Speed- Because the bike handles more like a regular bike, riding is a faster, more agile affair. Lets you get around obstacles and through traffic.


Children are also secured in the cargo box with straps. The cargo box can carry up to four children, but more than two require an additional bench. Because the cargo box is low to the ground and low on the sides, children can climb up on their own.
