3 wheels

• generally offer more space in cargo box
• can climb uphill without having to worry about the balance
• have the added advantage of stability when stopping and starting: you never have to put your foot on the ground
• can be easily pushed in pedestrianised areas with all your children/ cargo inside
• are faster in frequent stop – start situations
• three-wheelers, especially Christiania bikes, have a tighter turning range than two-wheelers

2 wheels

• are generally faster, especially on longer distances
• handling is more similar to a conventional bicycle than that of a tricycle
• allow you to ride faster in corners
• are typically narrower, can therefore fit through a smaller gate, gap between two cars or be stored in a narrow space

As always, we encourage you to test ride and/or hire different cargo bikes so you can personally experience the handling. We have many models and years of experience matching customers with the best suited cargo bike for them.
