We work with these cargo bike brands
Every brand has its own strengths. Together we select the models that fit your everyday life, your routes and your riding experience.
“Riding experience, everyday usability and long-term reliability: This is how we choose our cargo bikes. So you can find a bike that suits you today and in the future.”
What matters in a good cargo bike
A good cargo bike rides safely, fits your body and your parking space, and remains reliably usable in the long term. Therefore, we pay attention to the interplay of these six points when selecting.
Riding feel & stability
Loaded or empty: Your cargo bike should be controllable, stand stable, and give you a safe riding feel from the very beginning.
Ergonomics & handling
The handlebars, seating position, and entry must suit you – especially when multiple people use the cargo bike.
Brakes & safety
Additional weight requires powerful, well-modulated brakes and a riding behaviour that remains reliable even in wet conditions and on slopes.
Maße & Stellplatz
Does the bike fit through doors, gates, or cellars? Length, width, turning radius, and parking options should be considered from the start.
Drive & Range
The motor, gearing, and battery should match your load, your journey lengths, and the inclines in Aachen and the Euregio.
Quality & spare parts
High-quality components, available spare parts, and repairable systems ensure that your cargo bike remains reliably usable for a long time.

We take the time to understand your daily routine, compare suitable models, and make the differences tangible during an extensive test drive.
Understanding your everyday life
What or whom do you want to transport? What routes, inclines, and parking options are important? Our consultation begins with these questions.
Comparing suitable models
We show you cargo bikes that meet your requirements and explain the differences in riding feel, size, equipment, and price transparently.
Test ride & decide
You can test the suitable bikes at your leisure – if you wish, with children, a dog, or cargo. Once your favourite is decided, we will clarify the equipment and accessories and create your personal offer.

Frequently asked questions about buying a cargo bike (FAQ)
In this section, we answer frequently asked questions about our cargo bikes.
No. That’s exactly what we will find out together during the consultation. We will discuss your daily routes, your transport tasks, your parking space, and the people who will use the bike. Afterwards, we will show you models that fit these requirements.
Yes, very gladly. Only with realistic loading can you assess whether a cargo bike really feels good in your everyday life. Please let us know when booking the appointment who or what you would like to bring. Then we can prepare the test ride accordingly.
High-quality e-cargo bikes usually cost between 4,500 and 8,000 euros, depending on the design, equipment, and accessories. We take your budget into account from the very beginning and explain transparently which equipment is sensible for your everyday life and what you can do without.
Yes. We work with various leasing providers. Private financing or instalment payments are also possible. We can clarify which option is suitable for you during the consultation.
You can get to know and test ride many models with us. Your later cargo bike will then be ordered in the configuration that suits your requirements. Before your decision, we will check the current availability and inform you of the estimated delivery time.
This mainly depends on the design. A longtail often rides similarly to a normal bicycle, while a long john or tricycle may feel different at first. During the test ride, we will show you the most important handling techniques and give you enough time to try out different riding concepts.
A cargo bike is a significant purchase. Therefore, a suitable insurance can be sensible – especially if the bike is regularly parked outside or in changing locations. The rates differ, among other things, in terms of protection against theft, damage, wear and tear, as well as coverage for the battery and accessories.
We work with Alteos Insurance and can gladly answer (almost) all your questions regarding this.
