So it’s been a fun-filled year of owning a cargo bike – here are some key numbers:
- Punctures = 0
- Breakdowns = 0
- Empty battery = 1 (50 metres from home)
- Christmas trees transported = 1
- Bookcases transported = 2
- Soakings in the rain = 4
- Longest ride in a day = 42 miles
- Total mileage = 1,802 miles / 2,900km (nearly the same as London to Istanbul)
- Hours saved not being in traffic jams = many
- Calories burnt = tens of thousands
- Carbon saved = a lot!
They’re not for everyone but it’s been a fantastic insight into how electrification can make a big difference to micro-mobility. It also shows that we need to get more people (including us professionals) to view e-bikes as a key part of the future transport mix...
