Why the STOER CargoX is the best electric cargo bike
The CargoX by STOER Bikes is not just another electric cargo bike. It is a further developed means of transportation that will win the prestigious German Design Award won in the Excellent Product Design - Bicycles and E-Bikes category. This international recognition confirms that you are dealing with an innovative piece of Dutch design. The German Design Council especially praised the "impressive robustness and expressive choice of materials" of the best electric cargo bike in its class.
STOER Bikes is a Dutch company from Aalsmeer, founded in 2022 by brothers Thomas and Joeri. They asked themselves the question, "Who starts another bike brand anno now?" Their answer was clear. They wanted to do something different from the rest. No standard frames with a new logo, but bikes with character and charisma. This philosophy is reflected in the CargoX: an electric cargo bike that combines safety, comfort and practicality.
Complete set of accessories included: almost €949 gift
What makes the STOER CargoX extra attractive is that you can immediately hit the road complete. In fact, with your purchase you receive three valuable accessories already assembled for you:

Technical specifications of the best electric cargo bike
The STOER CargoX features impressive technical specifications that set it apart from other electric cargo bikes. The Bafang H720 motor delivers a whopping 92 Nm of torque. This is considerably more than most competitors offer. This allows you to pull up effortlessly, even with a full tank and headwind.
Engine and drive
The 250W Bafang H720 motor with 2-speed automatic transmission provides a smooth riding experience. You don't have to shift manually. The motor automatically adjusts to conditions. Pedaling up a hill with three kids and groceries? Then you'll get exactly the support you need. The maximum speed is 25 km/h, fully compliant with the Dutch legislation for electric bikes.

Battery and range
The 960Wh 48V battery is the largest in its class. This gives you a range of 60 to 100 kilometers, depending on your riding style and load. The battery is removable, so you can charge it indoors or leave it in the bike. Charging takes only 4 to 6 hours. So your best electric cargo bike is always ready for the next ride.
Gates CDX belt drive
A traditional chain requires regular maintenance. Lubricating, tensioning, replacing. The STOER CargoX doesn't have that problem. The Gates CDX belt drive is made of carbon and lasts three to five times longer than a chain. You don't have to deal with dirty hands from chain grease and the belt doesn't rust. Because there is no metal-to-metal contact, the CargoX also rides quieter than cargo bikes with a chain.

Safety comes first with the best electric cargo bike
When you transport your children, safety is your first priority. STOER Bikes understands this like no other. That's why the CargoX is packed with thoughtful safety features you won't find on many other electric cargo bikes.
Thick fatbike tires for extra stability
The CargoX rides on extra-wide Innova fatbike tires. These tires offer several advantages that you notice on a daily basis. First, they provide a more stable ride, especially when fully loaded. Second, they don't get stuck in streetcar rails. This is a known problem with narrow tires and can lead to dangerous situations. Third, the thick tires give better grip on wet or slippery roads. And fourth, they absorb bumps in the road, so your children are more comfortable.
Flashing lights and other types of lighting
The CargoX is equipped with a complete lighting system you know from cars. At the front, you have powerful LED daytime running lights. At the back are brake lights that illuminate automatically when you brake. And integrated into the body are turn signals. This allows the traffic behind you to know exactly what you're about to do. This makes the CargoX the best electric cargo bike for busy city traffic.
PIN code immobilizer
The electric support of the CargoX starts only after entering your personal PIN code. This significantly reduces the risk of theft. Even if someone were to take your cargo bike, they can't drive away with electric assistance. In combination with Tracefy Pro's built-in GPS tracker, you can always follow your cargo bike via your smartphone.
Seat belts and high side walls
The EPP bucket features two sturdy safety belts that meet European standards. The high sidewalls provide extra protection for your children. The bucket is made of fully recyclable EPP material that absorbs shocks. As a result, your children are optimally protected during every ride.

Ideal for families: space for 2 to 4 children
The CargoX's spacious cargo box accommodates 2 to 4 children, depending on their age. The standard configuration has two benches that safely buckle your children in. Want to bring an additional child? Then you can add a additional bench place in the front of the bin. In addition, there is room for a child seat on the back or even a Maxi-Cosi adapter for little ones.
In addition to your children, there is often room for groceries, school bags or other items. In fact, the bin has a maximum load capacity of 150 kg. This way you combine dropping off the kids with daily shopping. You no longer need the car.
"We designed the CargoX specifically for busy families," says Thomas of STOER Bikes. "Parents want safety, comfort and convenience. With the included rain cover and safety bar, you can hit the road right away, no matter what the weather."

Business use: the best electric cargo bike for entrepreneurs
The CargoX is not only popular with families. More and more entrepreneurs are discovering the advantages of this electric cargo bike for business transportation. Think of delivery services, caterers, florists or child care organizations.
Last-mile delivery
In inner cities with environmental zones, the CargoX is a smart alternative to vans. You get everywhere cars aren't allowed. No parking costs, no traffic jams, no emissions. The spacious body offers room for packages, meals or other goods. With a range of up to 100 km, you'll easily make your daily rounds.
Tax benefits
As an entrepreneur, you benefit from interesting tax schemes when purchasing an electric cargo bike. Consider VAT refunds, the Small Scale Investment Allowance (KIA) and the Environmental Investment Allowance (MIA). Together, these schemes can add up to as much as 50% of your investment. The Bicycle Association has more information on this.
Business accessories
For business use, you can customize the CargoX with a cover. This protects your cargo from weather and prying eyes. The sturdy double stand provides stability during loading and unloading. And with built-in GPS tracking, you'll always keep an eye on your fleet.

Driving comfort: smooth through the city and beyond
An electric cargo bike should be pleasant to ride, even on longer distances. The CargoX scores excellently in several areas here.
Front wheel suspension
The suspension fork absorbs shocks and bumps. As a result, you have less vibration in your hands and arms. Your children in the cargo box also notice fewer bumps and potholes. This makes the CargoX more comfortable than many other electric cargo bikes without suspension.
Automatic switching
The 2-speed automatic transmission of the Bafang motor shifts automatically. You don't have to think about which gear you need. When accelerating you get instant power, at higher speeds the motor shifts smoothly. This makes the CargoX ideal for novice cyclists or people who just want a relaxed ride.
Large display
The waterproof 4.0″ Bafang display shows you at a glance your speed, battery status and selected level of assistance. You can choose from 5 assistance levels, from light to maximum. So you decide how much you want to pedal and how far you will get.
Want to try out the best electric cargo bike first? Schedule a test ride at a dealer near you.
"We have been riding a Stoer bicycle for a year now without any problems. Even the battery capacity has not deteriorated. And when you then see other brands where after a year the rust marks are visible I am glad I spent a little more and now have a bike made entirely of aluminum. And this one stays really neat!!!"
What are the main conclusions about the weight difference between drive systems?
"Purchased a STOER Bike last year after trying several fatbikes. STOER is by far the best! Still very much enjoy my purchase. In addition, the service is top notch!"
"The bike is perfect for people with long legs. Sitting comfort is perfect for long distances."
Maintenance: minimal thanks to smart choices
No one wants to spend a lot of time and money on maintenance. The STOER CargoX is therefore designed with low-maintenance components.
Gates CDX belt
The belt drive requires no lubrication and does not rust. You don't need to tension it like a chain. With normal use, a Gates CDX belt lasts for many years. Only with visible wear or small cracks is replacement recommended. This will save you dozens of euros in annual maintenance.
Hydraulic brakes
Tektro hydraulic disc brakes offer consistent stopping power in all weather conditions. They require less maintenance than mechanical brakes and perform better in rain. Only the brake pads are wear parts that you need to replace periodically.
Annual maintenance
STOER recommends an annual checkup at a certified dealer. During this service, all parts are checked and adjusted if necessary. The costs average €75 to €100, which is considerably less than electric cargo bikes with a chain and gear hub.

Comparison with other modes of transportation
Many families hesitate between an electric cargo bike and a second car. Let's consider the costs.
A second car quickly costs €400 to €600 per month in depreciation, insurance, road tax, fuel and maintenance. That's €4,800 to €7,200 per year. The best electric cargo bike will cost you a one-time €6,495. After no more than a year and a half, you will have earned back the investment.
Besides the financial benefits, there are more reasons to choose an electric cargo bike. You are never in traffic jams. Parking is always free. You exercise more, which is good for your health. And you don't emit CO2, which is better for the environment. The ANWB doesn't call the electric cargo bike one of the smartest modes of transportation for short distances for nothing.

The German Design Award confirms what customers already knew. The jury called the CargoX a "practical and distinctive cargo bike" with a "harmonious interplay of confident design, comfort-oriented details and thoughtful functionality."

This means that you will be paid the new value in the event of theft, with no depreciation. There is no deductible in case of theft and you get 24/7 assistance in case of damage or breakdown.
