E-cargo bikes on the rise, but obstacles remain
The electric cargo bike is on an upward trajectory as an alternative to owning a car, but upfront costs and lack of storage spaces is stopping more families from making the switch, reports Claire McDonald

E-cargo bikes are a `pragmatic response` to the cost-of-living crisis
E-cargo bikes are a `pragmatic response` to the cost-of-living crisis
 

Considered a niche mode of travel not that long ago, cargo bikes are becoming a more common sight on our roads.

Recent trade figures from the Bicycle Association revealed a 36% year-on-year increase in electric cargo bike sales in 2025 in the UK, compared with an increase of 2% for e-bikes.

Analysis from Clean Cities, using Transport for London data, reveals that cargo bike journeys in the capital doubled between 2022 and 2024. It’s no longer a fringe development; it’s a central feature of the modern transport landscape on urban streets, particularly during school drop off in big cities like London. 

However, despite rising sales, the UK lags significantly behind European leaders such as Germany and France. Figures from 2022 show that just 4,000 cargo bikes were sold in the UK, compared with 70,000 in France and 90,000 in Germany. Industry experts point to a “storage desert” as a significant inhibitor.

A family-sized cargo bike does not fit in existing standard cycle hangars. This means that families living in flats and apartments are effectively “locked out” of the market.

London is a good example. While it maintains one million parking spaces for private motor vehicles, there are currently only two dedicated, secure on-street cargo bike hangars across the entire capital.

“We speak to hundreds of families every year who are keen to buy an e-cargo bike, but lack of secure storage stops them,” says Alper Muduroglu, CEO of Pedal UK. “It means families in flats – who could benefit mo…
