Why a Cargo Bike Makes Sense for Your Business

Why a cargo bike makes sense for your business

Cargo bikes and e-cargo bikes are becoming increasingly popular. Given high fuel prices, ever-growing traffic, and ever less space in cities, such a versatile bike is a genuine alternative to car journeys for families and businesses alike. Small and medium-sized enterprises in particular are increasingly using cargo bikes as a means of transport. Whether for tradespeople or delivery services, a cargo bike offers many businesses enormous advantages.

What is a cargo bike (transport bike)?

A transport bike is a particular type of cargo bike. While cargo bikes such as the FS Life, with their cargo box, are extremely versatile – suitable, for example, for transporting shopping or even children – a transport bike is generally used to carry bulky loads such as bags of cement, tools or heavy crates. As an innovative manufacturer of cargo bikes, Ca Go has transformed its successful FS platform into a dedicated transport bike: the FS Vario, a multifunctional bike equal to any challenge everyday transport work can throw at it.

The FS200 Vario – a bike for every transport job

The Vario is the perfect transport bike – its low transport frame, flat loading area and high maximum permissible total weight of 225 kilograms make it the ideal basis for a wide range of transport requirements. The various model variants are already tailored to different needs. The continuously variable Enviolo AUTOMATiQ hub gear and the powerful Bosch Performance CX Cargo Line motor ensure the best possible comfort and a safe ride, even with heavy loads and on inclines. The sturdy folding stand with gas-pressure spring allows the bike to be safely raised and lowered, even when fully loaded. The numerous accessories, such as the Organizer-Set or the Vario-Soft-Set, multiply the range of possible applications many times over. As you can see – the FS Vario is a load carrier for every occasion.

Transport bike instead of a car – the many advantages

Aside from the fact that traffic jams are no longer an issue with a cargo bike, and that you'll always find somewhere to park your transport bike even on congested streets, there are many further benefits that might not immediately spring to mind:

• Price: The purchase price of a Ca Go bike is significantly lower than that of a car, bicycle parts and maintenance are also cheaper, and you save entirely on the fuel costs and taxes that come with a car.
• Bike size: A transport bike takes up less space on your company premises. In the space needed for a car to park and manoeuvre, you could instead park a small fleet of bikes. But that's not all. It's also possible to ride your Vario bike directly into larger warehouses and load it straight from the shelving in the aisle – no parking space in front of the building is needed. This dramatically reduces how much space on your premises is taken up by parking – leaving you more room for what actually earns you money.
• Funding and grants: Financing is another point that appeals to many business owners. Numerous cities, associations, municipalities and federal states offer funding programmes, grant schemes, or even rental or other sharing systems for alternative transport vehicles, providing businesses with additional financial incentives to purchase transport bikes.
• Your image: Last but not least, a transport bike is rolling image advertising for your business. It shows that you're committed to modern mobility, think innovatively, and move with the times. Your company logo as direct advertising on the FS Vario is better advertising than any poster.

By now it should be clear – a transport bike doesn't just support your business's efficiency through its functionality, it also saves money and presents your company as a likeable, sustainable business – something that is priceless nowadays. Whatever purpose you want to use your transport bike for – as a delivery vehicle for your catering business, as a goods and tool carrier for your trade business, or something else entirely – the Ca Go Vario is a genuine asset to you and your company.
