How to choose a cargo bike
Six questions narrow 104 models down to a handful.
Which frame type?
A longtail rides like a normal bike and carries children behind you. A front loader keeps them in a box in front, in view. A trike stands on its own but is wide, and a compact fits lifts and hallways.
Buying guides by type →How many children, how much load?
Check two numbers: the rating of the rack or box, and the permitted total weight including rider and bike. Two children with seats and bags reach 60 to 70 kg quickly.
Filter by payload →Hills or flat city?
With a full load on hills you want 80 Nm or more. On flat routes 50 to 65 Nm is enough, and the bike is often lighter and cheaper.
How we estimate range →Where will it live?
A front loader is 2.4 to 2.7 m long and needs ground-level parking. Compact cargo bikes under 1.9 m fit in a lift, and some stand upright on their tail.
Compact cargo bikes →What does it cost?
Electric cargo bikes start at around 2,500 € and reach 9,000 € and more. Child seats, rain cover and a second battery are usually extra, so compare complete configurations.
Cargo bikes under 5,000 € →Chain or belt?
A belt with a hub gear costs more but needs almost no care and shifts at a standstill. A derailleur is lighter and cheaper, and wants regular cleaning if you ride in all weathers.

Cargo bike questions, answered
What is the difference between a longtail and a front loader?
A longtail has an extended rear rack: children sit behind you and the bike is as narrow as a normal one. A front loader has a box between you and the front wheel: you see the children, but the bike is longer and needs more parking space.
How much does an electric cargo bike cost?
Most models in our catalog cost between 3,000 € and 8,000 €. Compact models start lower; fully suspended front loaders with large batteries cost the most.
How far does an e-cargo bike go on one charge?
With a load and mixed terrain, plan on 35 to 60 km for a 500 to 750 Wh battery. Manufacturer figures are measured under ideal conditions; we estimate range for every bike with the same reference scenario.
How many children can a cargo bike carry?
Longtails usually carry two, some three. Front loaders and trikes carry two to four in the box. What matters is the load rating and the permitted total weight, not the number of seats.
Where do the specifications on AllCargo come from?
Figures come from manufacturer and dealer data. Where a number could not be confirmed, the text says so instead of guessing.
