Questions FAQs

The questions parents ask us most often before choosing.

What’s the best bike for carrying two children?

Dipende dall'età. Con bambini piccoli molti genitori preferiscono una front cargo o una tre ruote, per averli davanti. Quando crescono, una compact o una longtail con due posti sul portapacchi è più agile e occupa meno spazio.

Should I choose a cargo bike or a child seat for a regular bike?

Il seggiolino va bene per un bambino e tragitti brevi. Una cargo bike ha telaio, freni e cavalletto dimensionati per il peso dei passeggeri: resta stabile mentre li fai salire e ti permette di portarne due o tre, più zaini e spesa.

From what age can I carry a child?

It depends on the child seat: always follow the age and weight guidelines specified by the manufacturer, and for very young children, consult your paediatrician. The Taga Family comes with a dedicated newborn-and-toddler setup.

Are children protected from rain and cold?

Yes—with dedicated weather covers: the Taga Family offers versions with canopies and hard-top roofs, while Yuba and iO InBicy models come with waterproof rain covers. You’ll find them in protection from rain and sun.

Do you need a motor to carry your children?

On flat terrain with just one child, a muscle-powered cargo bike standard bike may suffice. But with two or three passengers—or if your route includes hills—electric assist makes all the difference at take-off.
