Transportation Trends

Trend - Given that portability is not often a concern with cargo bikes, electric bike brands are launching e-tricycle SKUs designed for hauling cargo. Adding the third wheel enables these trikes to hold a greater payload capacity while remaining sturdy, particularly when compared to regular cargo e-bikes.

Insight - As more consumers enter the e-bike space, the availability of unique SKUs in the market continues to grow in an effort to address as many desires of subsets of consumers as possible. One prominent group of e-bike riders prides themselves on using micromobility solutions as replacements for full-size cars. These consumers prioritize modularity, reliability, and other features that replace functions of vehicles. In order to appeal to this demographic, e-bike brands are releasing cargo e-trikes.
