Cargo bicycles have numerous designs and
applications. They are designed to meet special
load requirements, to function in different
terrains and serve different purposes, for
example as mobile food stores. They can
potentially transport up to several hundreds of
kilograms. Electrical support engines in Pedelec
or electric cargo bicycles can further increase
speed, cargo loads and range. They could be
applied for vending and sales purposes,
promotion, tourism, food, craftsmen transport
or gardening. There has been a wealth of
projects investigating their potential
applications.
