<p>Nimble Cargo Scooters is a company that manufactures cargo scooters in Irvine, California. The scooters start at $450 and are built with aircraft aluminum and baltic birch. You can order them with custom colors and graphics. They ride amazing well and are extremely stable with their low center of gravity. </p>
<p>At only 25 lbs, they&#8217;re very lightweight and compact. Also, they&#8217;re much smaller than a regular bicycle. While test riding a Nimble last week, we were able to walk into most stores like Target without the workers batting an eye. Think of it as a running stroller you can ride. </p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve always wanted a bakfiets but couldn&#8217;t afford it. Then look no further. Try out a Nimble Cargo Scooter, which is easily a fourth of the cost of a good bakfiets or long bike.</p>

<p>They are distributed from a variety of dealers around Europe. Although they normally retail for around 1000 Euros, some of their dealers are selling them at 700 Euros.</p>
<p>If you are an avid mountain bicyclist and live around a lot of mountains or hills, this is a very nice idea.</p>

<div><span>Back in May 2011, representatives from NGOs, the government, private sector business and industry analysis firms met in Copenhagen, Denmark to share different ideas for advancing the shift of goods and services transportation to non-motorized modes in European cities. This meeting also lies within the context of the <a href="http://www.ecf.com/misc/filePush.php?mimeType=application/pdf&amp;fullPath=http://www.ecf.com/files/2/121/CYCLE_Logistics_press_release.pdf" target="_blank"><span>CYCLE Logistics</span></a> project, whose ultimate goal for 2014 is to save 1,300 tons (<span>465,000 gallons</span>) of fuel, put2,000 more cargo cycles into use in European Union (EU) cities, and shift 10,000 trips to inter-modal transport chains (bicycles and tricycles used with other modes of transportation).</span></div>
<div><span>They are trying to encourage CYCLE Logistics under the European Cycling Federation to promote the benefits of cargo cycling. Businesses who use cargo cycling give customers an image of environmental responsibility, they also have a better chance of delivering their goods on time without having to deal with traffic and road infrastructures.<br />
Accessibility is also increased for those business who use cargo tricycles to reach out to people, where stores cannot. As a result, replacing motorized transportation with cargo cycles does not contribute to air quality degradation and pollution.</p>
<p>This is not the first time Europe tries to really encourage the use of cargo cycling as a real means of transport. In the United States, we often regard cargo cycling as a fun weekend pastime or leisurely activity. We don’t really see cargo scooters as being used for professional use - but it’s coming! What really needs to happen, which is what the CYCLE Logistics project strives to do, is promote a behavioral change within a culture. They try pushing Europeans to transport goods and services with cargo cycles—among all individuals, organizations, businesses and levels of government.</p>
<p>In China actually, this has already been the case for a long time. In large cities with dense populations, millions of bicycles and cargo tricycles are being employed for daily transportation of people and goods. Whether it transports garbage, fruit, a mini barbecue, stacks of chairs or hay, the Chinese have been very creative in using cargo scooters in any way to help them with their business or wherever they need to go.</p>
<p>The population density of Chinese cities has resulted in hundreds of millions of bicycles and tricycles being employed for daily transportation, many of which are utilized in the cargo fashions that the CYCLE Logistics project desires to produce.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><span>Have you ever dreamt about racing your cargo scooter with friends? Well, cargo scooter fans in Copenhagen have already been doing this for the past 11 years!</span></div>
<div><span><a href="http://www.dmforladcykler.dk/billeder/historie0_stor.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.dmforladcykler.dk/billeder/historie0_stor.jpg" alt="" width="604" height="445" /></a><br />
</span></div>
<div>Every year the Svajerløbet – or the Danish Cargo Bike Championships - takes place in the Carlsberg area in Copenhagen.They have championships in several categories, such as the Svajerløb for kids, men, women, vintage cargo bikes, two or three wheel bikes! It is a non-profit event, really for those who love their cargo bikes.</div>
<div><span></p>
<p>The name Svajerløb comes from city&#8217;s bicycle messengers – known as &#8217;svajere&#8217; who, decades ago, used to battle in unofficial races for bragging rights on Israels Plads in central Copenhagen.  It was a classic Copenhagen event that disappeared when cars started to dominate the urban landscape. The last race was in 1960. But as a capital full of cargo cyclists, there was much support given to revive the tradition in 2009.</p>
<p style="center;"><a href="http://cargocycling.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/svajerloeb2009_presse_holdstafet_02-1024x683.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-823" src="http://cargocycling.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/svajerloeb2009_presse_holdstafet_02-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>In fact, there are around 40,000 cargo bikes in use each day in Greater Copenhagen and they are the Copenhagen version of the SUV, used for transporting children and goods. 25% of all families with two or more children have a cargo bike in the City of Copenhagen.</p>
<p>If you ever fancy to participate in the race, check out their website: <a href="http://www.dmforladcykler.dk/English2011.php">http://www.dmforladcykler.dk/English2011.php</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://lightfootcycles.com/">Lightfoot Cycles</a> designs and builds custom bicycles and tricycles in Darby, Montana, USA. Their website has a large and diverse selection of very interesting bikes of all shapes and sizes, such as custom bikes for the &#8220;big &amp; tall&#8221; (they can fit a person up to 7&#8242; tall!). They also have recumbent bicycles, tricycles, quadracycles, two-rider recumbents, special-needs bikes, hand-cycles, power assist bikes, industrial work vehicles and all weather velomobiles.</p>
<p>What I thought was most interesting however was the history of the company, its founder, and their <a href="http://lightfootcycles.com/contractual-services/one-world-design-project/">One World Design Project</a>. Back in 1995, Earl Miner designed and built the PET handcycle, at the request of missionaries working in war-torn rural areas of Africa. Earl witnessed a large number of persons in their communities who sustained disabling injuries and who could not walk, many from land-mine encounters.</p>
<p><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 250px"><a href="http://lightfootcycles.com/aboutus-2/lightfoot-history/"><img src="http://lightfootcycles.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/PET1.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The walking-speed, cargo-carrying PET handcycle.</p></div></p>
<p style="center;">
<p><span>&#8220;</span><span>These people were consigned to dragging themselves along in the dust, through a land that had no handicap-access laws, little pavement, and not nearly enough money to afford doctors, protheses or wheelchairs.</span><span> </span>The concept of a simplified hand-cycle was proven by Earl, and then the prototype was redesigned by Rod Miner.  It was produced in increasing amounts for several years at what would become the Lightfoot Cycles shop. From there, Rod Miner began designing cycles for the domestic market. However,  design for the less-developed nations continues still with the One World Design Project.&#8221; - <a href="http://lightfootcycles.com/aboutus-2/lightfoot-history/">http://lightfootcycles.com</a></p>
<p>Their goal is to create highly capable and affordable working vehicles for persons in any part of the world. Within this project, they even sell a <a href="http://lightfootcycles.com/contractual-services/one-world-design-project/trike-cargo-extension/">cargo-adapter kit</a> which can be attached to a regular mountain bike, turning it into a fully-functional cargo bike!</p>
<p><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 424px"><a href="http://lightfootcycles.com/contractual-services/one-world-design-project/trike-cargo-extension/"><img class=" " src="http://lightfootcycles.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/tcx_hay_bales.jpg" alt="TCX extension used to transport bales of hay" width="414" height="435" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">TCX extension used to transport bales of hay</p></div></p>
<p><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 424px"><img class=" " src="http://lightfootcycles.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/tcx_custom_box.jpg" alt="TCX Custom Box" width="414" height="342" /><p class="wp-caption-text">TCX Custom Box</p></div></p>
<p><span>Marty Stomberg and Rod Miner together created a business model to underpin the production of Lightfoot cycles, starting as custom builders in a converted horse barn, and building slowly and tenaciously over a decade and a half toward the goal of larger-scale lean manufacture.</span></p>

What makes these trailers unique is their modular design, which allows the user to extend the length of the trailer to accommodate longer loads. </p>
<p>Built from extruded aluminum, they look like a ladder with wheels. The simple robust design should be strong enough to carry anything you have the strength to tow. Prices range from $450 to $570, which means they should pay for themselves in a few months with regular use.</p>

<p>EcoSpeed is a Portland based company that manufactures high performance electric power assist systems for bicycles. Their systems come with either a 700Watt or 1000Watt high torque motor, that will blow away most other add on systems. What makes their design unique is the use of a freewheeled crankset, that allows the rider to power a bicycle without the cranks rotating along with the motor like a fixed gear bicycle. </p>
<p>The workmanship looks fantastic and we&#8217;ve heard great things about their performance. The only drawback is the high initial cost. The starting price for a complete system is $2800. Add that to the cost of a brand new European or American built bakfiets and you&#8217;re looking at a starting price of around $5000, which is about the same cost as a used street legal <a href="http://www.gemcar.com">GEM electric car</a>.</p>
<p>We hope that as the popularity of these systems increase, the costs will go down with economies of scale. If price is no object and performance is your number one criteria, then you&#8217;ll love Ecospeed. Also as you shop for a power assist system, you might want to check out another Portland based manufacturer <a href="http://clevercycles.com/products/stokemonkey/">Stokemonkey</a> as well.</p>

Joseph Ahearne custom builds these great platformed cargo bicycles that are built to haul just about anything. Framesets are $1750 and complete bicycles start at $2750. If you&#8217;re committed to living the zero emission lifestyle and have the money to spare, you might want to give Joseph a ring.</p>

From the looks of it, their quality is solid with modern components. We&#8217;ve seen some of their complete bicycles for as low as $800 at some budget bicycle dealers. On Yuba&#8217;s website, they start at $1100 with Shimano Acera components and go up from there depending on features. Their electric version is available for $2600. OUCH!!!!  </p>
<p>We really love long bikes as a category and they&#8217;re great for families with older kids. If you&#8217;re buying a long bike for the first time, make sure to budget an extra $200 for some waterproof saddlebags (panniers), running boards for extra riders, and dual arm kickstand when loading kids. That way you can get the most out of your long bike.</p>

<p>From it&#8217;s specifications list, the Feetz is one amazing <a href="http://cargocycling.org/2007/03/types-of-tricycles.html">tadpole trike</a> (two front &#038; one rear wheel). It has front independent steering (ackerman steering), converts almost instantly into a stroller, and leans into turns. </p>
<p>Most tricycles tend to feel tip prone because they can&#8217;t lean into turns like a bicycle. The Feetz over comes this through it&#8217;s <a href="http://cargocycling.org/?s=leaning&#038;x=0&#038;y=0">leaning</a> design. Without riding one, we can&#8217;t tell how it actually performs. However from their videos, the Feetz looks fantastic.</p>
<p>The only catch is that it retails for £1,200 in the UK, which means it&#8217;ll be well over $2000 US dollars by the time it reaches the States.</p>

The place is run by Lane Kagay who makes fantastic custom built bakfiets cargo bicycles and racks. If you&#8217;re thinking about buying a bakfiets, rather than shipping one to the States, you should seriously consider getting a skilled local builder like Lane to build one for you. You&#8217;ll get a custom bicycle with great components for about the same price as shipping a stock Euro built bicycle to the States.</p>
<p>Lane&#8217;s bicycles have some great features like disk brakes, triangulated frame for strength, and customizable modular design. Check out Lane&#8217;s website for more photos.</p>

<p>At 45 lbs, it&#8217;s about average weight for most purpose built cargo bicycles. The frame comes in satin grey or blaze green. This Taiwan built bicycle is a lower cost alternative for anyone considering European built city bicycles which could easily cost more than a thousand bucks.</p>

The first US custom maker of Dutch style cargo bicycles (bakfiets). From the looks of their weld quality and components, Metrofiets bicycles are on par with any custom built bicycle on the market.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re looking forward to giving one a test ride the next time we&#8217;re in Portland. You can check out their website at: <a href="http://www.metrofiets.com/">www.metrofiets.com</a> as well as their beer bike at <a href="http://www.hopworksbeer.com/index.php">Hopworks Brewery</a> (Portland&#8217;s own eco-brewpub)</p>

Not sure how well it works, but you&#8217;ve got to give Ryan McFarland kudos for coming up with this idea and for recycling. He&#8217;s got tons of other interesting projects he&#8217;s built on instructables.com and his blog which is worth checking out.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cargocycling.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/taga-stroller.jpg"><img src="http://cargocycling.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/taga-stroller-300x192.jpg" alt="" title="taga-stroller" width="300" height="192" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-261" /></a><a href="http://cargocycling.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/taga-3.jpg"><img src="http://cargocycling.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/taga-3-300x192.jpg" alt="" title="taga-3" width="300" height="192" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-260" /></a>So, is this the major game changer that we&#8217;ve all been looking for? Or else, is it just another expensive industrial design study that only a few can afford? </p>
<p>Without having ridden one, I can only say that the new Taga Stroller/Tricycle looks amazing. Basically, it is a kid carrying cargo tricycle that converts on the fly into a walking stroller. WOW! Also, it has numerous optional features that allow it to be customized and outfitted in any number of ways. </p>
<p>The MAJOR drawback at this moment is the stunning price and lack of availability. Not yet sold in the US, it has a base price of $2500 without any options. Include shipping, handling, and customs duties, you&#8217;re pushing $3000 by the time you&#8217;re riding the base model in the States. </p>
<p>Early Verdict: Function and styling that any parent would love, price tag of a good used car.</p>
