Ca Go – The Ideal Cargo Bike for Seniors

Staying mobile is particularly important for seniors. The bicycle is the ideal tool for keeping active in everyday life. E-bikes, with their electric assistance, considerably extend the range that can easily be covered by bike. And a cargo bike replaces the expensive car for almost all short trips: the ride to the doctor, running errands in the town centre, or simply the enjoyment of getting some exercise.

Staying mentally and physically fit

Being able to get around independently is enormously important for seniors – it preserves independent mobility and provides fresh impressions as you move through your surroundings. Riding an e-cargo bike allows for this mobile freedom through gentle exercise, which is enormously important not only for older adults. In particular, the steady, relatively low-intensity exertion of riding with electric assistance not only strengthens the cardiovascular system, it also counteracts the effects of depression and even Alzheimer's disease. Indeed, with something as simple as a ride to do the shopping, cyclists gain a whole range of positive effects for their own health, both physical and mental.

But which cargo bike models are actually suitable as bikes for seniors? Here, we introduce the Ca Go bike models and highlight their advantages for seniors.

The Ca Go FS Life – the safe all-rounder

The Ca Go FS Life is a genuine replacement for the car. Its large payload capacity and the option to bring the grandchildren along make the FS Life the perfect all-rounder. The powerful Bosch motor and numerous safety features make every ride a real pleasure, and the clever accessories mean the FS Life can be transformed, in just a few steps, from a shopping marvel into the perfect vehicle for a weekend family outing. The steering, geared via double cables, guarantees safe handling even on tight corners. The safety of the smallest passengers is ensured by the crash-tested EPP cargo box and the child seats, specially developed for the FS Life, that grow with the child. The Easy-Grip feature also makes it easy for less physically strong riders to lift the FS onto its sturdy stand. So if you're looking for a versatile transport bike for seniors, the FS Life is an excellent choice.

The Ca Go CS – space-saving, agile, versatile

If you don't need to transport passengers or large loads, and perhaps don't have a suitable spot to park a large cargo bike, the innovative Ca Go CS is the right solution for you. Barely bigger than a conventional bicycle, the CS can be parked in a normal bike shed or bicycle rack. The clever Triple Load Space is particularly well suited to seniors, as the Center Load Space has no high loading edges, meaning your shopping bags can simply be placed on top with ease. The Front and Rear Rack can also be fitted with bags and extra loads. Thanks to its powerful electric motor assistance and intuitive cable steering, the CS rides almost like a normal bicycle, while still carrying up to 80 kilograms of luggage. Especially if you're often out and about in heavy city traffic, a cargo bike you can ride and park just like a normal bike is ideal. And plenty of accessories are also available for the Ca Go CS, allowing you to tailor the bike to your needs.
