Cargo bikes have been a dynamic growth market for several years, as EUROBIKE 2024 demonstrated. New models—from compact cargo bikes to heavy-duty bikes for commercial use—are setting innovative standards. Sharing systems and subscription models are increasingly widespread, supported by political funding programs that also aim to introduce more regulation. Standards for safety and service are becoming more important as well.
“For many years, promoting the cargo bike has been a tough job. Now I am happy to have many others, helping to push for the idea.”
The Cargo Academy at EUROBIKE 2024 provided a unique forum for discussions on the cargo bike market, including developments in bike trailers, through compact, high-profile panels. Six core topics were on the agenda:
Market data for cargo bikes and trailers
EN standard & new regulations
National and municipal purchase incentives
Subscription, sharing, and leasing options
Service challenges
Prominent pioneers of the industry
Moderation: Arne Behrensen (Zukunft Fahrrad e.V.)
The Cargo Academy took place on Thursday, July 4, 2024, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on the Pink Stage at the ECOMOBILITY Forum, Hall 8.
