Carqon Classic

The concept of a cargo bike has theoretically been around for a while – if you have a basket in the front of your bicycle, you're riding the earliest conceptual version of a cargo bike. The bike industry has made several updates to the classic cargo bike design to make them truly capable of hauling cargo.
The Carqon Classic is an electric cargo bike made for the modern city parent, easily capable of hauling weekly groceries or young children in its spacious cargo bin. The reinforced transport box on the Carqon Classic, with an extra high rim, ensures that your most precious cargo is protected throughout the ride.
This is a superior ebike that sets the standard in design for cargo bikes and opens you up to a world of transport possibilities. Let's take an in-depth look at the specs to help you decide if this is the right ebike for your family.

10 Reasons Not to Buy the Carqon Classic
