Safe Family-Sized E-Bikes

Urban Arrow Updated its Family Cargo Line of E-Bikes in Several Ways

— June 17, 2022 — Autos
Urban Arrow, the Amsterdam-based electric bicycle manufacturer, rolled out a large set of improvements for its Family Cargo line of e-bikes. These improvements make the bikes safer to ride for families while also making them more efficient and reliable for longer periods of time.

The automaker confirmed that these new bikes boast improved suspension, a new 'Gates Drive' system that replaces the traditional bike chain with a safer alternative, a redesigned cargo box for improved stability, and enhanced brakes that require little to no maintenance, even over long periods of time.

Urban Arrow did not make its Family Cargo line of bicycles stronger, though, as the bikes were already meeting the legal limits for e-bike specifications in Europe. The bikes boast a 250W motor with a 500 Wh battery pack, making them some of the strongest micro-mobility options on the market.
