A Cargo Bike for Your Association

A full load of life for your association

There are almost 16,000 associations in Germany. Of these, around 8,500 have their own office, of which 1,500 in turn are located in Berlin. The work of associations makes an important contribution across the fields of business, politics, education, science, health, social affairs, leisure and culture. It's understandable that many associations need a reliable mobility solution, whether to commute between offices, transport materials, or provide services to their network. With ever-denser city traffic, steadily rising costs, and the need to make their mobility more sustainable, more and more associations are choosing a cargo bike or e-cargo bike over a car.

Cargo pedelecs offer many advantages

Using cargo bikes and e-cargo bikes offers an association many advantages that go beyond making a sustainable contribution to the shift in transport. A cargo bike is considerably cheaper to buy and run than a car – and more efficient too. Cargo bikes can be used as load carriers, to transport children, or as an agile all-rounder, depending on what's needed. Their greatest advantage, however, is likely their flexibility in road traffic, especially for associations operating in large cities. Cargo bikes share the road with other cyclists and can therefore bypass heavy car traffic. Finding somewhere to park is also much simpler – there's a reason why bike logistics are increasingly replacing delivery vans for last-mile deliveries, particularly in big cities.

Cargo bike funding for associations

Buying and running an e-cargo bike becomes even more cost-effective thanks to numerous funding programmes offered by national, regional and local government, as well as other institutions. Whether you're planning to buy a cargo bike for an established association or are in the process of founding a new one, it's very likely that several funding options exist in your city. Always look into the full range of options available, as funding initiatives differ in the amount of support offered, which bikes are eligible, and other details. For example, not every funding scheme is open to every type of association, and application deadlines can vary considerably too. This last point is particularly important if you need the cargo bike to be available by a specific date.
