Urban Arrow, a pioneer in smart urban mobility, is thrilled to introduce the latest addition to its beloved Family Line of electric cargo bikes. After over a decade of innovation, the Urban Arrow Family Performance and Cargo Line bikes are now equipped with the cutting-edge Bosch Smart System, setting a new standard for safe, efficient, and connected family transportation.
The Bosch Smart System brings a host of exciting advancements. Advanced connectivity and performance optimization ensure a smoother, more secure ride with customizable modes to adapt to varying conditions. Real-time data and seamless smartphone integration provide peace of mind, guaranteeing the bike is always in peak condition, ready for any family adventure. From school runs to leisurely beach rides, the possibilities are endless with these newly updated front-loader e-cargo bikes.
Addressing a common concern among potential buyers, Urban Arrow is equipping its Cargo Line with a Bosch Connect Module and offering a free subscription for the first year (subsequently $59.99 per year). This valuable upgrade includes an anti-theft module, providing an additional layer of security for your bike. Integrated into the motor, this module boasts motion sensors that trigger a loud alarm and send a phone notification if tampered with. It also allows for remote motor locking, GPS tracking, and automated theft reporting to the police, giving you peace of mind wherever you go.
The Iconic Front Loader
What sets Urban Arrow’s bikes apart from most U.S. competitors is its iconic front loader design. This unique feature positions precious cargo in front, allowing for easy and safer interactions compared to traditional long-tail cargo bikes, which require riders to look behind to interact with their passengers. The front loader features a three-point seatbelt and the EPP box (similar to a large inverted helmet) for maximum safety for even the smallest passengers. Plus, with a lower center of gravity, riders experience improved balance and a more stable ride, offering enhanced safety and control.
Urban Arrow’s front loader also provides unparalleled flexibility, allowing families to tailor the bike to their specific needs. Need to transport up to four kids or add luggage? No problem, the bike can be easily expanded with an extra bench, floor mat, or rear carrier. A car seat can even be installed so that even the youngest ones can join in on the adventure. Living in a rainy or extra sunny area? Protect precious cargo with a rain or suncover. The possibilities are endless, ensuring a perfect fit for each family’s unique requirements.
“E-cargo bikes are gaining immense popularity in North America,” said Mark Danhof, General Manager of Urban Arrow North America. “What was once a niche product for early adopters is becoming more mainstream as car ownership costs and complexities rise, and bike infrastructure improves and expands. Urban Arrow’s safe, spacious, and powerful front-loader e-cargo bikes offer a true alternative as a second car replacement for families. These latest updates to the Family bike build on an exceptional platform, and we are thrilled to bring this bike to more families across the region.”
