We lived in San Francisco when our kids were babies and we were not comfortable with the idea of a trailer among City traffic, so we carried our kids (starting at 9mos old) on the back of our bikes. We loved the Blackburn Limo child seat, because it reclines! The kids ALWAYS fell asleep, and we tried the Yepp, but their heads would flop forward and bounce around.
We used a trailer in the ‘burbs. It felt safe riding around neighborhoods or on multi-use trails away from traffic. Our youngest loved it, because she could draw and bring toys with her.
Now they’re in early elementary school (at two different schools and often at different activities at the same time, so we have to divide and conquer), so we decided to get an ebike instead of buying a second vehicle. We use our ebike more than our old minivan! We ride them to and from school on a Tern GSD. We have a giant hill between us and school so having a motor is necessary. LOVE it. Kids love it. It feels solid and safe. I’ll be sad the day they outgrow it (to ride together).
Wow, what a great video. I never thought about how complex the ebike world meanwhile is is and how many opportunities exist.
The way you illustrated the different use cases and bike options via short video clips was outstanding.
As a grandfather and for the time being I’m OK with the rack mounted seat. However my kids will have to deal with this urban transportation system soon and therefore I downloaded your video for them.
For me personal I start considering the x-over or medium tale bikes. They seem to make perfekt sense for when the grandchilds are a taler. Different to a front loader I could put those bikes onto the car rack I guess.
Finally, different to the dealers I know in my country, Germany, you repeatedly look at bikes as a transportation-system, that ranges from bike technology, relevant bike parameters, use cases to bike storage at home and ergonomics. That helps a lot to better understand the new opportunities that come with e-mobility in urban areas. I‘m saying that as an Engineering Manager who works in the automotive industrie.
Well done Chris. I’m sorry your shops are not in reach for me.
We bought a Yepp maxi seat, heavy duty racks, and easyfit adapters when our now 6 year old turned one. We loved it until she got too heavy to get up our East Tennessee hills. It took a little while for the GSD to come to market, but once we got our GSD, we have been able to get kiddo back as a passenger. It's been wonderful.
Anyway, I'm happy to answer questions from the perspective of a parent.
We’ve heard this story many times. The GSD is such an awesome bike!
Also - thanks for offering to help lend your experience
I would love to see a review of cargo bikes and trailers for dogs . Thanks!
On the list . Stay tuned
@@Propelbikes thanks!
Get a basket
Great overview! We went with a Thule trailer for the kids for safety reasons (no chance of falling from a height). However you transport your kids, I cannot recommend a strong motor enough. We have the Bosch CX and are grateful for the 85 Nm whenever we climb a hill.
Thanks for sharing your experience! That’s a great point about having a more powerful motor. The Bosch CX motor is one of the best out there!
Another great video. The more I watch the better understanding I have for wealth of options available.
I like the idea of towing small bike to a safer place where it can cycle on it's own.
3 wheeled cargo bikes are also good option for those who struggle with balancing.
Nice overview. Would be good to have an update of this vide in 2024
Thank you for making this video! Really helped when making my decision on what I'd like to purchase!
What a coincidence, you having a vlog where you show Cargo bikes in The Netherlands. This week I was relaxing a bit on a bench near a deer park close to my house. A woman arrived with a Urban Arrow, a Cargo e-bike from my country. Very nice bike to see, she had 3 children in the front and a very small kid in a bike seat on the back. I said to her, what a nice bike! They gave the deers some food and the kids get back on board. The little girl on the high seat on the backrack. Then suddenly, I suppose the woman got the bike from the bicycle stand and the whole bike fell over. I was really shocked and ran over. A other guy did the same and we lifted the bike up to upright position. I said, I was really shocked and so did the woman. But the children where laughing and nothing had happen to them. That sure was a good thing! You see a lot of cargo bikes nowadays, not only with children but also companies using these bikes. Thanks for nice vlog Chris.
Always lovely to see your comments Leo and it’s very nice to hear your stories. I look forward to getting back to the Netherlands. Hope you are doing well and staying in good health!
Chris, am I first⁉️⁉️🤣🤣🤣
Anyway, that's enough self-aggrandising, as there's little point in painting the lily‼️🙄🙄🙄
This is the best video you've done, and a very necessary one if it gets people out of their humongous SUVs. You're showing people they can successfully transport their offspring, plus goods and chattels, in a cheaper, healthier and environmentally friendly fashion, and without recourse to a planet destroying juggernaut. Admittedly, the USA transport model is designed purely for the automobile, and, as such, cycling as transportation is not as easy as in other, more bike friendly, countries. However, as the US road system is in a state of near total collapse, this shortcoming could be remedied if the road are ever repaired.
In the interim, Chris, you are providing much needed information and reassurance regarding the validity of bikes as a mode of transport.
Lol! You are first and in my book not just as a commenter on this video 😉. We definitely have a ways to go, but I feel like we’re helping to provide some nourishment to this rose growing in the cracks of concrete. Not my metaphor, but I borrowed it as it felt very fitting.
@@Propelbikes Anybody who quotes Tupac Shakur is O.K. by me. In fact, I'm rather envious of your modernity. Being English, I tend to rely on Shakespeare, and his contemporaries, rather than living in the present. You, on the other hand, are striving to make for a better future, and doing a great job of doing so. Keep on rolling, and enjoy NYC.
Lol. Much appreciated :) just landed in NY. Excited to be back after nearly a year away. Hope you’re enjoying the weekend.
Thank you!! So informative
Northern Ireland needs this! 2:05 is incredibly rare to see on roads.
Hey, i just discovered your channel. You did a great job with allo your videos. I will watch all of them when i've got enough time :-).
I live in France and i own a Urban arrow for 2 years to transport my 2 little girls.
I'm starting to become crazy about cargo (electric) bikes, i wqnt to buy a load 75, the new GSD, i dont knom wich one i will chose for my second cargo bike !!
THank
you for your work
What's your opinion for a good under 1'000 $ electric bike with a suitable frame for a child trailer?
Love it thank you
Just had a weird idea. How about converting cargo bikes into a kind of cab? Paint it like the classic yellow cab make the cargo space a bit comfy and wa la a personalized cab.
Very good video as usual. I hope you can make a video providing some explanation of weight limits on cargo bikes. Since there are quite a lot of confusions about total permissable weight and load that a bike can carry. Some dealers put the total counting with the weight of the bike like Urban Arrow and others just the weight on the cargo box and rack. Some brands make it quite confusing.
You could call it an "infant carrier". I think that's the technical name. I definitely get the frustration with cargo bikes not being as available in North America. I'm in Nanaimo, BC and have to travel to another city (BTW I don't have a car and have two ADHD/ASD kids under 6 so not an easy feat 🙃) in order to even try a front load carrier ebike or even a long-tail and the front load carriers are on avg $10k 😫. I would be willing to pay it because it's still cheaper than a car (especially since I don't have my license) and would be a good investment but I'm a low income single mom and probably won't qualify for any loans 🥲. I think I'll have to start with an xtracycle swoop and upgrade down the line. Maybe they'll be cheaper in a couple years
Can you recommend something that attaches to a bench seat? I have the Pedal Electric AWD.
Maravilloso 🎉
I like yours all bikes. Very beautiful 👌, good quality . Good looking . Attractive . I really mad about ur all models. When these are all models launch in india ? Reply me.
Thanks! We would love to help make these available in India. Hopefully one day 🤞
Sir it's available cargo model ? for banana delivery purpose. In india. And what is the price ?
This is definitely possible. You can see more on our website propelbikes.com
Ok my 2 cents on the trailer option: that might not be the most ideal version if you live in a busy city. I knew someone with that thing. In my country (the Netherlands) they have little waiting islands in the middle of the road to cross it more safely. I saw a mommy with trailer stop on the island but cause the trailer is behind her she didn't realise that...yes mommy was safe on the island...baby on the other hand was sticking out and in the middle of the road. Luckily it turned out ok. But if I ever have a kid I won't use that one cause I would want to see my kid or know its behind me...safe. I'd either do what my parents did...little seat on the bike. Or the cargo bike. That way you can also use it to transport other stuff.
What kind of back seat like bench can I add to a trike with 2 back wheels
Hello, I was wondering if you have any advise on the Ferla Cargo Bikes? I am looking for a bike that will fit 4 kids all under the age of 6.
Hey guys. I have the nevo3 with enviolo and have just bought a thule Chariot to use with it but I can't see how it can be attached. You can't use the axel obviously and then the stand is in the way for the other attachment. Have you got any ideas please?!
Has anyone found a child seat that can be mounted on an Ariel Rider X-Class 52V?
Re: Car Seat We called it the Baby Bucket.
Great feedback! I like it!
@@Propelbikes Otherwise "baby capsule". Loving the channel btw!
They are a great idea just not affordable.
A lot cheaper than a car, though.
Fashion question, who's sweet t-shirt is this?
Thanks! It’s J Crew. I don’t think it’s available anymore though :( I have lots of J Crew Slub Tshirts
@@lucasrem Just a quick fyi, Stephane is a dude name, no i before the e like Stephanie. I get it, definitely an unrelated question to the topic of e-bikes but fashion isn't only a women thing for many. If you hang around a bunch of french peeps you'll quickly notice that stripes are our fashion equivalent to plaid. ;D
What's your favourite bike (electric or not) in 2022 that can carry two full size child seats?
Ugh love it but way out of my budget ! 😭
As a Dutch person I have never seen the bike with seats for bigger kids/adults before. Yeah thats not a bike for the Dutch market cause if the kid is that age he/she will have its own bike cause they need to develop skills and not be so lazy expecting mommy to ride him/her places. And grownups just jump on the back of the bike sidesadle style...no need for the extra seat.
Bunch bikes? Why no mention
Very expensive to buy a front loading cargo bike, most of us get trailers
The kids hands always look too exposed on the cargo bikes. Sorry I've seen adults hands crushed by roll bars.
which is the best foldable ebike that I can add a seat to ride with a 5 years old kid? thanks!!
What about coming up with a trailer that will carry special needs or disabled adults
There are side-by-side bikes that can function for that purpose, depending on the disability or need in question. The Fun2go Duofiets, for example. Those are used extensively in the Netherlands for volunteers taking elderly and disabled people on bike rides, as it's not necessary for both people to be paddling (or able to see the road, blind passengers are also quite common). However, these only work for people who can stay seated on such a seat. Bikeability has some different models as well, including wheelchairlike bikes. So I think quite a lot already exists, it might just be a matter of importing it.
