We have seen a dramatic increase in European folks using cargo bikes in our area. Many are here for 9-12 months and they’ve decided that the infrastructure and community are both developed enough to support them and their families.

Local to Boston? Got kiddos? We’re bringing the best of Copenhagen to the Boston area! The Ibex is a compact cargo trike with a Shimano EP6 mid drive motor. It fits two kiddos + a small grocery run. We’ve imported one, so you don’t have to! Take it for a spin or sign up to borrow it for a week.

Some people park a car in their driveway, but Ichabod would rather see you park 10 bikes with a carrying capacity of 23 people. This is part of the fleet of bikes we’ll be loaning out today to help families learn whether e-bikes are the right answer for their transportation needs!

We share a lot of the same bikes with the Mpls Cargo Bike Library (Bunch, Abound, etc). This just shows that the configuration of cargo bikes is highly adaptable. They can be tailored for kid hauling (our speciality), or for everyday errands.
