Load capacity of cargo bikes and bicycle trailers
Our in-house payload matrix...
... is intended to help our interested parties and customers to understand the not always easy-to-understand information regarding the maximum permissible weight of the cargo bike, the specific attachments, but also the individual installation options for the loading platforms (child seats, transport boxes, etc.).
Example
The following is an example of a CargoFactory ONE cargo bike, a 70 kg person with a small child who is out and about in everyday life and doing some grocery shopping:
| Dead weights | Weight [in kg] | maximum permissible [in kg] |
|---|---|---|
| cargo bike | 28 | 200 |
| Structure for children | 15 | - |
| Person | 70 | - |
| Kind | 15 | - |
| Shopping | 20 | - |
| Total vehicle | 148 | 200 |
| Loading area individually | 50 | 110 |
General distinctions and classifications of options, types and terminology on the topic of "transport by bicycle"

Loading area options for cargo bikesListenelement 1The loading area of cargo bikes, or the "cargo area," usually refers to a specific area or "space" primarily reserved for cargo or transported goods. However, there are also cargo bikes with more than one loading area. Typically, however, only one "large" one is available. For the cargo area of most cargo bikes, various "superstructures" or options are available, depending on the intended use or project. Common options include child seats, transport trays, or simply open, flat surfaces for versatile storage and securing options for a wide variety of goods and objects.

Types of bicycle (cargo) trailersListenelement 2Bicycle trailers can also vary greatly and be highly specialized for their intended use. They are available with fixed, closed boxes or containers, open loading areas with or without edges, or simply the "frame" for special transport or customized solutions. This also raises questions about "support loads," "overrun brakes," and trailer couplings. More information on this will be available shortly.

Combination - bike plus trailerListenelement 4Another consideration is the interaction between a cargo bike and a bike trailer. What about the "total" weight, how much weight can be towed? Can trailers be connected in any order? A trailer should always be considered in conjunction with the towing bike. Not every combination is advisable. To ensure you enjoy towing a bike trailer, we would be happy to provide you with detailed advice. We would like to provide some basic information on this topic.

Common formats, dimensions and standards of transport containersListenelement 3We believe it's useful to also provide a small section of common containers and boxes, along with their dimensions and, where applicable, standards. Some cargo bikes and trailers are designed for specific formats or are roughly based on them, so that transport solutions and tasks can be handled more simply, universally, and in a more "standardized" manner.
