International Cargo Bike Festival 2017

There can be good reasons not to own a private cargo bike: costs, space and only
occasional transport needs. This is why cargo bike sharing makes sense. If well
organized and comfortable to use, sharing systems offer a low-threshold access to
cargo bikes, they will attract new user groups and increase the general popularity of
cargo bikes. And compared to a buyer‘s premium, sharing systems are the more socially
inclusive form of promoting cargo bikes – ideally, both should go hand in hand.

Cargo bike sharing system
in aspern Seestadt
In October 2015 the world’s first fully-automatic cargo bike sharing system premiered in
aspern Seestadt – one of Europe‘s largest urban development projects. Four cargo bikes are
part of SeestadtFLOTTE which offers sustainable mobility options for residents.
They can be hired 24/7 direct from terminals using the SeestadtCard,
which allows fuss-free, straightforward booking of all mobility options.
The cargo bikes are highly popular to transport kids and shopping with
over 2,700 rides last year. SeestadtFLOTTE introduced cargo bikes
to people who would not have had the possibility to use them.
