Info

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. Arne Behrensen 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.

TINK TINK (acronym for “Transportrad Initiative Nachhaltiger Kommunen” – “cargo bike initiative of sustainable communities”) promotes sustainable urban mobility by providing large-scale and fully automatic cargo bike sharing systems. Funded by the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure, two pilot cities, Konstanz and Norderstedt, are each offering 26 cargo bikes for rent at more than twelve different stations within town. Researchers from different disciplines (environmental psychology, transportation science) accompany the project to ensure learning for introducing similar projects in other towns and cities. www.tink.bike Rent a cargo-bike Electrically assisted cargo bikes can be hired in a number of Swiss cities by visiting carvelo2go.ch. The users reserve a “carvelo” on www.carvelo2go.ch, pay the booking online, then take the bike, battery and key in the desired place. What makes this service so attractive is the easy use of a “carvelo” instead of a car for carrying goods and children at short notice and for short periods of time. Carvelos bring exercise and fun into your daily mobility! The offer is operated by the Mobility Academy, supported by Engagement Migros, TCS and other partners. Commons Cargo Bike KASIMIR was the first “Commons Cargo Bike“: Founded in 2013 by non-profit association “wielebenwir” in Cologne, Germany. KASIMIR is free to lend, promoting sharing resources and cargo bikes; the solution for sustainable urban transportation. Thanks to an conference, an online WIKI and the booking software, all established by wielebenwir, the “commons cargo bike“-concept has spread across Germany and Austria, with more than 30 initiatives providing up to 10 cargo bikes each – all for free. www.dein-lastenrad.de 29
