Dutch cargo bike

The new Dutch bike brand Urban Arrow re-invented the urban transport bike. The result is a cargo bike that makes you (and your luggage) travel faster and comfortable through the congesting city.

Designer Wytze van Mansum tried to get more unity throughout the whole bike. The frame encapsulates the motor and chain, and thus creating a unique frame design. The curved tubes around the top of the box are for protection of the box and of children fingers hanging over the rim of the box. They also provide storage room for the rain cover poles and a lock or pump. Because the box is made in a mould some fun functionalities like the cup holders are able to be incorporated.

With the electric assist you can just get around a busy town faster than by car, taking with you up to 180kg of cargo. The aluminum stiff frame is equipped with a lightweight EPP cargo box. EPP is a recyclable, but durable foam.

Last week Urban Arrow won an innovation award at Eurobike, the biggest European bicycle fair in Friedrichshafen, Germany.
