Electric cargo bikes are just like ordinary electric bikes, except they’re designed to carry heavier and bigger loads. They are governed by the same laws covering normal electric bikes in the UK (e.g. 250W max power motor, 25km/h assisted top speed, and don’t feature a throttle), but they are built with different layouts that enable them to sport everything form luggage containers to child seats.

You can use a cargo e-bike to transport large and heavy loads, which might range from a box load of deliveries or something more precious, like transporting children (or your dog!) to school or the park. It’s great for the weekly shop, as well as helping you carry out your daily tasks about town and your local area.

An electric cargo bike can cost as little as around £2,000, or as much as £5,000. The cost depends largely on the size of the cargo e-bike and its capability. You may also find the most powerful models will cost a little more too.

Electric cargo bikes can accelerate up to 25km/h with the pedal assistance. At 25km/h or over, the motor cuts out and it behaves just like a normal bicycle.
