Toyota has teamed up with French e-bike brand Douze to develop an electric cargo bike. The bike known as Douze Cycles x Toyota Mobility cargo bike is a versatile and stylish electric cargo bike that offers a sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional cars, especially for those working in the delivery sector or for individuals who need extra storage space. The bike’s sturdy aluminum frame can carry bulky items weighing up to 100 kilos on its 850-millimeter-long loading platform, and it is hitch-compatible to further boost transport capacity. This means that businesses can transport more goods in fewer trips, reducing their carbon footprint and saving on transportation costs.
On the performance side of the equation, the cargo bike is powered by a Yamaha electric motor with a nominal output of 250 watts. A 500-Wh battery pack supplies power to the motor, and is removable for convenient charging off the bike. The range on a single charge is around 62 miles, however, this figure could vary depending on how much stuff you’re hauling. The bike’s front end can be detached for easy storage, making it a convenient option for those who have limited space.
In addition to its practical features, the Douze Cycles x Toyota Mobility cargo bike is also designed to be stylish and user-friendly. It features a sleek and modern design that is sure to turn heads, and it is designed to be comfortable and easy to ride. It’s also versatile, with the option to configure the extra storage space to carry passengers. Three children or one adult can ride in the front storage compartment, so long as it’s outfitted with the appropriate seats and harnesses.
The Douze Cycles x Toyota Mobility cargo bike is expected to hit the market by September 2023, but the pricing has not been announced yet.
