🇩🇪 Grants of EUR 700,00 for purchases of e-bikes and standard bicycles were exhausted 30 minutes after being made available. This comes after the Ministry of the Environment announced the continuation of grants from September 1, 2020. Residents of Hamburg can apply for grants of EUR 2,000 to buy new e-cargo bikes and EUR 500 for standard cargo bikes. The bicycles are a popular, sustainable means of transport for individuals and companies making daily deliveries.

💡 Tip 8/9: Where do you park your cargo bike? Before buying, consider whether it’s safe to leave an expensive cargo bike on the street overnight. Usually, if you feel comfortable leaving your car or scooter outside your house, you should be safe leaving your cargo bike too. Just make sure you secure it with a good lock and always attach it to a solid and well-anchored object. Tip: you can also use a (retrofittable) GPS tracker for extra peace of mind.

💡 Tip 6/9: How do you (safely) ride a cargo bike in the city? Cargo bikes have become an integral part of modern cityscapes and are gaining in popularity. Whether you’re using them commercially to deliver goods and parcels or privately to do your shopping and take the kids to school, cargo bikes suit a wide and diverse spectrum of applications in urban environments and have already sent many cars into retirement. And that’s despite their bulky appearance. But how can you get to your destination quickly and safely, in busy areas where space and consideration are scarce? If you ask us, it’s actually pretty straightforward! In the urban jungle, a full-blown cargo bike takes up significantly more room than a normal bike and is thus more likely to be noticed by other road users. Moreover, the bulky dimensions of cargo bikes seem to put car, bus and lorry drivers into a different mindset, as they identify them as more ‘familiar’ vehicles. As a result, they’ll be more likely to change lanes to overtake you, leaving plenty of room instead of rushing past you by a fraction of an inch. A very pleasant experience we could all get used to!

💡 Tip 5/9: Where can you ride your cargo bike? In Germany, cargo bikes have the same legal status as conventional push bikes, provided they don’t exceed a width of 1 m (2 m for two-lane cargo bikes), a height of 2.50 m and length of 4 m. If we’re talking specifically about E-cargo bikes, the nominal motor power may not exceed 250 W or provide support above 25 km/h.. One-way streets, bus lanes and sidewalks can be included on the route as long as these are open to conventional push bikes. Stationary cars can be overtaken to the right, provided there’s enough room. Unless explicitly approved for bikes, pedestrian areas are a no-go zone both for conventional and cargo bikes!

💡 Tip 4/9: What’s the safest way to transport animals and children on a cargo bike? Cargo bikes are more popular than ever, especially with young families, and it doesn’t really matter whether you get one as an addition or alternative to your car. However, it’s crucial that you carry your kids just as safely and comfortably – for the biggest bike freaks among us, directly from the maternity ward to your home. Read the full article here:
