For riders who love cargo bikes with a focus on diverse transport tasks: The FS200 from Ca Go integrates recesses, struts and clamps on its Foamlite loading surface for effective load securing.

An organiser set is available as an accessory for this cargo bike, with which the loading area can be variably divided up on the basic Eurobox format. Together with the standard crossbars, an optional longitudinal crossbar secures taller objects from falling over. The Vario-Soft set protects valuable cargo from unwanted weather influences and prying eyes. The equipment list includes Bosch's Performance CX Cargo motor, 625 Wh battery, Kiox display, Magura disc brakes and Enviolo automatic transmission. Further information at www.cagobike.com.

The Multitinker is Riese & Müller's version of a compact longtail transporter. There is space for two children, a large shopping basket or even an adult on the extra-long pannier rack. There are numerous equipment options for the carrier, such as the safety bar kit for transporting children or a waterproof, large-volume cargo bag. The Multitinker can carry up to 65 kilos. Thanks to its low and central centre of gravity, the compact truck is safe and stable. Bosch's smart system with Performance CX motor and 625 Wh battery provides the necessary power. The height-adjustable stem and adjustable seat post allow the cargo bike to be adapted to different rider sizes. Further information at www.r-m.de

With the compact pedelec NBD (New Bike Day), Tern offers cyclists of smaller stature and older people an alternative to classic pedelecs. A low and long step-through makes it easier to get on and off, while the extended wheelbase and low centre of gravity ensure easy handling.

Thanks to the special frame geometry, NBD riders reach the ground with both feet at every stop - creating safety and confidence. The stem, saddle height, handlebar reach and height can be quickly and easily adjusted to the desired riding position. According to the manufacturer, the standardised frame is suitable for riders between 147 and 190 centimetres tall. The NBD series includes two models - S5i and P8i. They are expected to be available from specialist retailers from the 1st quarter of 2023 at prices starting at 3,999.00 euros. Further information at www.ternbicycles.com.
