How to Transport a Cargo Bike

How to Transport a Cargo Bike

There are several effective ways to transport a cargo bike, each with distinct advantages and limitations depending on your vehicle type and needs.

 

Transport Method Max Weight Suitability for Cargo Bikes The BikeCarGo Explorer Advantage
Standard Bike Rack ~20kg Poor (Most cargo bikes are 30kg+) Engineered to distribute weight for 35kg+ loads.
Towbar Rack ~60kg Fair (Often too wide for standard lanes and illegal in some countries) Keeps the bike inline with the vehicle roof for safety. Also cheaper than most appropriately rated Towbar Racks.
Internal Van N/A Good (But requires a large vehicle) Allows transport on compact cars and SUVs.
Trailer >100kg Good (But requires a towbar, is not designed specifically for a cargo bike and is expensive) Cheaper than a motorbike trailer and is specifically designed for cargo bikes.
