Cargo bike transport by vanRaam

A cargo bike is often used to transport goods, animals or people. Such bicycles have been around for a very long time and before the invention of the car, they were already being used a lot. At vanRaam, we offer several types of cargo bikes in our range. With the Thuja e-bike, you can transport goods in the cargo unit at the front of the bike. In addition, we have various transport bikes that are suitable for cycling together with someone who is unable or prefers not to cycle independently. Take a look at the different cargo bikes below and discover what each one is designed for.

Thuja Cargo Bike

The Thuja is a stylish tricycle that makes running errands easy. Between the front wheels, there is a lockable storage compartment where you can safely transport your belongings. With the optional cargo unit, you have extra space to carry groceries or other items at the front of the bike. Your belongings are always safely within sight while cycling.
