How does an electric bike work?

This type of bike is ideal for families, business travellers and anyone who wants to reduce their dependence on cars and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Basically, an electric cargo bike works using an electric drive system consisting of a motor, a battery and a controller. The motor is usually located in the front or rear wheel and is responsible for providing the power needed to pull the bike and the load. The battery acts as an energy source and supplies power to the motor. The controller effectively manages the power distribution between the battery and the motor.

When riding an electric cargo bike, you can choose to use pedal power, motor power or a combination of both. You can easily switch between different riding modes using a control unit located on the handlebar. This gives you the flexibility to customise the bike to your needs and the terrain.

Transporting cargo

One of the biggest advantages of an electric cargo bike is its ability to transport large amounts of cargo. The cargo area of the bike is usually located in front of the driver. Here you can carry anything from shopping bags to children or even larger items like furniture or sports equipment. This load capacity makes it possible to run daily errands without the need for a car.

Battery life and charging time varies depending on the model and brand of the electric cargo bike. Most bikes have a range of between 40 and 100 kilometres on a full charge. Charging time can vary from 2 to 6 hours, depending on battery capacity and charging technology.

In addition to being a practical means of transport, an electric cargo bike also has many environmental benefits. By choosing to use a cargo bike instead of a car, you reduce your CO2-emissions and help improve air quality in your neighbourhood. In addition, cargo bikes are also more economical in terms of fuel and parking costs.

A smart and sustainable solution

Overall, an electric cargo bike is a smart and sustainable transport solution that combines the convenience of a bicycle with the ability to transport heavy loads. The cargo bike is ideal for both personal and business use and plays an important role in promoting green transport. So next time you need to transport something, consider hopping on an electric cargo bike and experience the benefits of this innovative mode of transport.
