How to transport children by bike: blue>Trailer or cargo bike
By Sébastien Bourru ·
More and more parents are choosing to rent a cargo bike for their family's daily commute to school, activities, the market or weekend outings. Stable and comfortable, the electric cargo bike can carry up to two children (or even more, depending on the model), with appropriate belts and equipment.
A weekend cargo bike rental is the perfect way to try out this alternative before making a purchase, or to enjoy a car-free getaway. It's also an excellent option in the city for avoiding traffic jams and parking costs.
Want to change the way you travel? With a cargo bike rental, you'll be able to discover a new destination without having to worry about your freedom of movement. Ideal for the seaside, countryside or city center, the electric cargo bike easily transports luggage, shopping or beach equipment.
For an extended stay, opt for a monthly cargo bike rental: an economical and flexible solution, especially if you're in temporary residence or telecommuting for the summer.
Electric assistance is a real asset, especially when the bike is charged. Depending on the model and battery, range generally varies between 40 and 100 km. This means you can easily cover your urban and suburban needs.
Short-term cargo bike rental is ideal for testing out different models (longtail, two-wheeler, three-wheeler) and finding the one that best suits your needs. It's also an excellent way to compare before investing.
It's possible to find a cheap electric cargo bike rental, especially by booking online and comparing local offers. Rates vary according to duration (day, weekend, week or month), model and equipment included.
Booking in advance for a weekend or vacation often results in a better rate and ensures availability of the desired model.
When you choose to rent an electric cargo or longtail bike, you reduce your environmental impact and save money at the same time. Less fuel, less maintenance, more freedom: the electric cargo bike is a modern, practical and sustainable solution.
Whether for a one-off need or to transform your daily routine, renting a bike makes it easy to adopt soft mobility.
