The cargo bike is conquering the city and that requires the right parts and support
The way we move around the city is changing – and we love it. New forms of micromobility are becoming increasingly popular. In urban areas, we’re trading in our cars, public transport, or delivery vans for bikes, scooters, and of course, the cargo bike — also known as LEV (Light Electric Vehicle). From school runs to sustainable deliveries The modern cargo bike is no longer a niche. In cities, they’re everywhere: from parents on the school run to couriers, technicians, and logistics providers navigating traffic with ease. Thanks to their agility, electric support, and generous cargo space, cargo bikes are perfect for city life. They save time, reduce costs, and cut emissions — exactly what’s needed in busy, low-traffic zones. That makes the cargo bike not just practical, but a smart, future-proof choice. Zero emissions, lower operational costs, and faster last-mile delivery. In a city that’s becoming greener and smarter, the cargo bike is the logical answer. And as your partner in micromobility, PENDLR moves with you. This shift calls for smart support At PENDLR, we witness this transition daily through the rising demand for cargo bike parts, accessories, and maintenance solutions. The growing interest — from both consumers and businesses — requires specialized parts that are readily and quickly available. By providing these as PENDLR, we help make daily travel in and around the city more flexible, efficient, and green. We support: Fleet Owners: Reduce your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Inefficiencies with repair providers can lead to unnecessary high costs. PENDLR offers logistical solutions that improve repair efficiency, resulting in lower service rates — and a reduced TCO for fleet owners. Repair Providers: Work more efficiently and maintain your margins.

International Cargo Bike Festival 2024
The cargo bike—a mode of transport with the most potential in micromobility—has its own dedicated festival. What other vehicle, besides the bicycle, can say the same? Last Friday, we attended the International Cargo Bike Festival, held October 25-26 at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht (The Netherlands). Here’s a look at what caught our eye. More choices for you as a business owner It was the perfect day to focus entirely on the promising future of the cargo bike. Alongside more brands with their own cargo bike designs, we also saw new solutions for different types of cargo. It's not just small parcels anymore; larger containers are joining the game. What we observed last year is even more evident now: cargo bikes are thriving in the micromobility sector, and as a business owner, you have more choices than ever within the cargo bike range—different brands, options for your own branding, and tailored solutions for various types of cargo. Growing interest, despite political headlines Interest in cargo bikes is booming, the benefits are clear, and businesses are increasingly inspired by the incredible initiatives already in place. In general, we’re seeing more people opting for bikes, cities being designed with cyclists in mind, and last-mile delivery by bike becoming more popular than ever. Regardless of upcoming political decisions on zero-emission policies, we’re convinced that the shift toward greener cities is here to stay. Bring on the cargo bikes! Here’s to even more cargo bike solutions in 2025! We’re excited to see what’s in store for next year. In the meantime, we’re already partnering with many of these brands and suppliers, offering a comprehensive range of cargo bikes, parts for maintenance and repairs, and accessories to enhance the ride. Let’s work together to make cities greener and cargo bikes even more popular in today’s urban landscape! About the International Cargo Bike festival The International Cargo Bike Festival is organized by Jos Sluijsmans and Tom Parr, who aim to inspire the world to replace cars and vans in urban areas with cargo bikes. They believe we’re in the Decade of the Cargo Bike, and that cargo bikes are set to become mainstream this century. #decadeofthecargobike
