A Dutch e-cargo bike maker, expects the industry to increase significantly in the coming year. According to the company, a slew of reasons, ranging from environmental concerns to urbanization to the expansion of internet commerce, should help improve sales.

"We expect the European market to grow by 40 to 50 percent over last year," said Jorrit Kreek, co-founder of the company.

"At the same time, we looked at other user groups besides parents with children: the business-to-business sector and transportation businesses both want to be able to work more efficiently and quickly in a congested environment." We also recognized prospects on the global market."

Around 70% of Europeans already live in cities, and this percentage is expected to climb in the future decades.

This tendency puts greater strain on the environment, and e-cargo bikes give a way of delivering products and people while also lowering traffic congestion.

"More and more politicians are realizing that the bicycle is a straightforward, incredibly appropriate answer for a wide range of difficulties," he added. "Less pollution, safer transportation, and better public health."

"Just look at Paris, where new cycle tracks are being created along the Seine and billions of dollars are being spent on cycling infrastructure." As a result of these improvements, the bicycle economy is accelerating over the world."

E-cargo bikes, on the other hand, are increasingly being used to make deliveries in metropolitan areas.

"People are ordering an increasing number of things online, including everyday groceries and ready-to-eat meals," Kreek added. "These are ideal for delivery on a cargo bike. Customized delivery is becoming more popular, which opens up prospects for customized transportation bicycles."

The UK was at a "crossroads" in terms of how people travel around when he launched his company's new e-cargo bikes.

"Now is the moment to make that habit permanent, and if we do, we'll be able to get a lot more people riding bicycles."

"What cargo bikes can do is allow you to ask yourself the question, if you have two automobiles, do you really need two cars?" Car two normally travels no more than 10 miles per trip – to the store, to pick up the kids – and a cargo bike is certainly a more cost-effective, long-term alternative. That is why we are pouring so much effort and emphasis into it, because we believe it has the potential to alter people's lives. Not only because they're going out, getting some exercise, and not sitting in cars, but also because they're lowering CO2 emissions."
