For traditional cargo bikes, streetcar rails, curbs and other obstacles pose a challenge as they affect stability and cause dangerous situations. Narrow tires are more likely to get stuck in streetcar rails. This creates unsafe situations, especially if the cargo bike is loaded with heavy goods.
Streetcar rails and curbs: a common problem
Streetcar rails and curbs are major obstacles, as narrow tires slip or struggle to cross high edges. This causes dangerous moments. Moreover, the problem is compounded, as a loaded cargo bike puts extra pressure on the tires, losing stability.
Thick tires as a solution
Wide tires offer stability, as they keep the bike steady on streetcar rails and help it climb curbs smoothly. Therefore, a fatbak bike remains safer, as the thicker tires maintain better grip and absorb unexpected obstacles without problems.
Effortlessly over small obstacles
In addition to streetcar rails, loose rocks, cracks and muddy spots pose challenges. Narrow tires lose balance or grip faster. Wide tires absorb shocks, making the driving experience more comfortable and the driver less affected by bumps.
A design with added stability and control
In addition to wide tires, a thoughtful design contributes to better control by keeping the front wheel more protected and stable. The improved front wheel reduces the impact of obstacles, making the riding experience safer in crowded urban environments. In addition, clever weight distribution prevents the bike from tipping over, even in the face of unexpected obstacles or sudden steering movements.
Increased confidence in urban environments
Thanks to its design and thick tires, a fatbakfiets offers confidence as no obstacle is a problem. This makes this cargo bike perfect for families, businesses and adventurers, as safety, comfort and practicality are paramount.
