Customer service

The Cargo combines cycle-type benefits (it’s environmentally friendly, extremely compact, cheap to maintain) with the advantages of a car (weather protection, driver safety, baggage transport capacity). As a pedelec, it perfectly combines the strengths of each: four wheels, roof, electrically assisted, emission-free, no driver's licence needed. For flexible, individual mobility and the environmentally-friendly transport of goods in urban environments.

The Cargo has a lightweight, robust base made of durable aerospace aluminium, with double wishbones on the front and rear axles, and equipped with shock absorber struts. You decide which body best suits you and your business. You can choose between these models: Base, Pack, Pick-up and Work.

The Cargo has a whole range of potential applications. At first, it will be available to commercial customers only. We think it will be highly beneficial in scenarios such as express courier services, providing mobility and transport on modern campus zones, not to mention industry complexes. Other target customers include city and municipal authorities, the food & drink sector, retail and skilled trade enterprises.

Germany currently has a wide range of incentives for purchasing commercial cargo bikes. A number of city and local authorities, as well as federal states independently provide funding for buying (electric) cargo bikes for passenger or cargo transport. Depending on the programme, our Cargo will meet the requirements, making it eligible for funding. Information on funding opportunities – sorted by federal state and continuously updated – is available at cargobike.now for example (we accept no liability for the information provided).

The German Federal Ministry for the Environment has also launched a new nationwide 25 percent purchase bonus for all commercially used e-bikes in Germany as of March 1, 2021. We are already listed there. Read our blog for more information about securing your own funding.

You can park the Cargo like any other cargo bike or cycle. The plan is that larger-sized cities will, in future, establish dedicated cargo bike parking spaces. Theoretically, one car-parking space can accommodate three Cargos. A parking brake stops the Cargo from rolling off accidentally. An optional electronic immobilizer and electronic box lock will become available shortly.

Four wheels give the Cargo its high driving stability. Specially developed in our Mubea Automotive division, the rims combined with high-grade braking system and smart lighting system with integrated indicators, also mean enhanced visibility on the road.

The roof design together with the windshield in combination with the wheel splash guards and front fairing, already ensure the driver remains practically 100% dry. There are no current plans to add a side door.
