Experimenting and Trying Out Electric Bicycles
Electric Cargo Bikes Take Centre Stage in Friedrichshafen
The city of Friedrichshafen is gearing up for a significant event aimed at promoting climate-friendly mobility, as the Cargobike Roadshow makes its way to Karlstraße 19 on Tuesday, September 23, from 11 am to 4 pm.
Mayor Fabian Müller expressed delight at offering residents the chance to try electric cargo bikes, highlighting their importance for environmentally conscious transport, free from parking hassles, noise, and emissions.
The roadshow features 12 different electric cargo bikes from 12 manufacturers, providing a comprehensive overview of the current market. These cargo bikes come in both two and three-wheeled options, catering to various riders, including seniors and mobility-impaired individuals.
The event is not just for private individuals but is also open to businesses. Independent advice will be available to help find the right cargo bike for various needs, such as transporting kids, groceries, or doing errands.
Unlike traditional bike trailers, cargo bikes can carry more than two kids and even adults, making them a practical choice for many. For those who may find three-wheeled bikes more comfortable, Mobility Day, scheduled for Sunday, September 21, in Charlottenstraße, offers an opportunity to test ride these special bikes.
Testing of the bikes at the roadshow is free and without obligation, allowing everyone to experience the benefits of electric cargo bikes firsthand.
Moreover, the city's climate protection subsidy program offers up to 20% of the purchase price (up to €1,000) for electric cargo bikes under certain conditions, such as using self-generated or 100% green power.
While the companies presenting electric cargo bikes for test rides at the Cargobike Roadshow are not specified in the available information, one thing is certain - this event promises to be a fantastic opportunity for those looking to make a positive impact on the environment while enjoying a convenient and practical mode of transport.
