10 reasons to adopt a cargo bike on a daily basis

Opting for an electric bike means reducing your carbon footprint. Each journey by bike replaces a journey by car, limiting CO₂ emissions and noise pollution.

In use, an electric bike emits 20 grams of CO₂ per 100 km, compared with 11,000 grams for a combustion saloon car.

The cargo bike costs much less than a car. With electric assistance, energy costs remain minimal compared with the price of fuel or transport season tickets. It is estimated that the cost of recharging a battery is less than 10 centimes.

What’s more, bicycle insurance is cheaper than car insurance. 

No more traffic jams or parking worries! With a cargo bike, you can navigate congested streets with ease, and you can often park wherever you like.

The cargo bike is perfect for transporting your pets, children and loved ones in complete safety. With accessories like the canopy, footrest and seat cushions, your journeys become real family moments.

For tradespeople, shopkeepers or delivery personnel, the cargo bike is a practical and flexible solution. You can transport up to 100 kg of goods without being subject to traffic restrictions in town centres.

You can also fit a trailer on the back of your electrically-assisted bicycle (VAE), enabling you to carry more supplies.

Cycling, even electric cycling, is still a physical activity. It helps to improve your physical condition and general well-being. 

Little bonus: every journey helps to reduce stress!

The cargo bike requires very little maintenance. There are no oil changes, belts or internal combustion engines to worry about. With regular maintenance (checking the brakes, inflating the tyres and greasing the chain), your cargo bike will remain reliable and efficient over the long term.

For Douze Cycles Long John and longtails, there’s a precise maintenance plan, to be found in each user manual, so that you can follow the upkeep of your asset to the letter.

In town, over a distance of 5 kilometres, a bike travels faster than a car. With a cargo bike, say goodbye to traffic jams!

More and more towns and cities are developing their roads and installing cycle lanes, enabling cyclists to get around as easily as car drivers.

The cargo bike turns your daily commute into a real adventure. Whether it’s a ride with your children or a trip to the great outdoors, it offers a unique experience.

More and more people are choosing the cargo bike for its innovative and responsible side. Riding a two-wheeler means adopting a lifestyle that inspires others to rethink their mobility.

The cargo bike is much more than just a means of transport: it’s a lifestyle choice. In town or in the country, it can adapt to any situation.
