A cargo bike is not just a cargo bike
What really matters – beyond price and packaging.
We are your point of contact for cargo bikes in Aachen and the Euregio. With our many years of experience and enthusiasm, we know exactly what matters and can help you quickly and personally; because your needs are our top priority.
Driving behaviour & stability
A good cargo bike is safe to ride even with a child, shopping, or a dog – and remains stable when dismounting. Wobbly cheap bikes quickly become no fun at all.
Ergonomics & Everyday Usability
Back-friendly, accessible and well thought-out: A suitable bike avoids pain and frustration. Child in, shopping on – without contortions.
Brakes & safety
More weight requires more control. High-quality braking systems are not a luxury, but a matter of life and death – especially in wet conditions or downhill.
Repairability & spare parts
What happens after the purchase? Many cheap bikes become electronic waste after just a few years. We rely on systems that can still be maintained in 5 or 10 years.
Drive & Range
Not every motor is designed for loads. Is the power sufficient for hills? Does the battery last? High-quality systems save you energy – not nerves.
Consultation and Service
Others sell. We advise. Personally, honestly, and with an eye on your everyday life. With service, contact persons, and test drives on site.
Together with you, we also turn your most individual wishes into reality!

Frequently asked questions Lastenrädern (FAQ)
In this section, we answer frequently asked questions about our cargo bikes.
It depends on how you want to use it: for children, shopping, dogs, or your business? In a personal conversation, we will find out together which model best suits your everyday life – whether it's a Long John, Longtail, tricycle, or compact cargo bike. Of course, you are welcome to test ride different bikes with us.
Yes – and this is very important to us! A test ride helps you find the right driving feel and experience differences in handling, engine performance, and ergonomics for yourself. It's best to arrange an appointment in advance so that we have enough time for you.
Yes! The city of Aachen regularly subsidies private cargo bikes. Additionally, there are commercially oriented funding programmes from the federal government. We are here to help you find the right programme and are happy to advise you on the application process.
The majority of high-quality cargo bikes with electric drive cost between 4,500 and 7,000 euros. The magic threshold for us is around 4,500 euros. With grants and leasing, you can often significantly reduce the costs. We advise you honestly – without sales pressure – and find a solution that fits your budget.
Yes! We work with various leasing providers such as JobRad, BusinessBike, or mein-dienstrad.de. Private financing or instalment payments are also possible – just get in touch with us.
If your company's leasing provider is not included, we will find a solution together.
Many people think this – but after a few minutes, the uncertainty usually disappears. Modern cargo bikes are well-balanced and equipped with an e-motor that supports you. We will show you what matters when riding and accompany you as you get started.
Depending on the model, battery, driving style, and load, the range usually lies between 40 and 80 kilometres. This is more than sufficient for everyday use – and if you need more, there are also models with dual batteries.
No problem – we are here for you even after the purchase. We know our bikes well and will help you easily!
For many models, we recommend insurance – especially for electric drives. Whether it's theft, vandalism, wear and tear, or battery defects: there are good tariffs that also work for cargo bikes. We can advise you on this directly in the shop if you wish.
Occasionally, we also offer refurbished demonstration bikes or returns. Feel free to get in touch with us if you are looking for a more affordable alternative – there might just be something suitable available.
We would like to point out that you have a two-year warranty on a new cargo bike, while for second-hand bikes, it is only one year.
