Bike43 longtail electric cargo bike
The market's most spacious longtail cargo bike. Handbuilt in Belgium.
The Bike43 is a cargo bike worth considering if you require transportation for more than two children. Picking up children from school and going shopping together? Feel free to leave the car at home and opt for the Bike43. Due to its long and low back, it can easily carry 3 children and groceries. This electric bike, also known as "Bike-for-three," can comfortably accommodate three kids on its rear end. Remarkably, it can even fit up to four passengers, which is impressive for a longtail cargo bike.
