City Arrow, a prominent player in the premium electrical cargo bike sector, has introduced its refreshed Household Line of eCargo bicycles, now featuring the innovative Bosch Smart System. The pioneering cargo bike manufacturer, renowned for its innovative and family-oriented entry-level design, aims to revolutionize urban transportation by introducing a sturdy, eco-friendly alternative to conventional vehicles, catering specifically to families seeking a luxurious ride in the heart of the city.
Two new fashion designs, dubbed the City Arrow Household Efficiency and Cargo Line, aim to deliver improved security, connectivity, and productivity.
With the Bosch Sensible System, cyclists gain access to real-time data, tailored ride settings, seamless smartphone connectivity, and enhanced security features that include bike tracking capabilities for added peace of mind against theft? Households can confidently navigate their everyday routines, from school pickups to errands, as well as enjoy leisurely drives on weekends.
While price-sensitive e-bike options may not warrant extensive precautions against theft, premium electric bicycles from renowned manufacturers such as City Arrow require heightened vigilance to mitigate the risk of loss or pilferage. City Arrow leverages Bosch’s in-built expertise in e-bike monitoring to address this concern. Introducing the innovative Cargo Line e-bike model, equipped with a cutting-edge Bosch Junction Module, delivering an added layer of safety that discerning riders have come to expect.
The advanced security system utilises movement sensors to trigger alerts and instant notifications to the owner’s mobile device in the event of any attempted tampering. The system, in conjunction with these alerts, enables remote engine immobilization, real-time GPS tracking, and instant notification of any attempted theft to law enforcement authorities.
What sets City Arrow’s Household Line apart is its innovative open-entrance loader design, where children sit at the front of the rider, fostering a sense of security and adventure. By streamlining communication and movement between riders and passengers, this configuration fosters enhanced collaboration, ultimately promoting a more secure and practical solution than traditional long-tail cargo bicycles that place children behind the driver.
The bicycle incorporates a three-point seatbelt system and an EPP field engineered to provide unparalleled safety features, mirroring the protective design of an inverted helmet for enhanced protection of younger riders.
With customization at its core, the latest fashion trends offer households the flexibility to enhance their bicycles’ capacity to accommodate up to four children or additional cargo, catering to diverse needs and preferences. Vehicles resembling rain and solar covers are designed to protect passengers from diverse climate conditions, with some models accommodating automotive seats for young children.
Mark Danhof, City Arrow’s Basic Supervisor for North America, touts the growing popularity of electric cargo bikes in the region, attributing it to their increasing appeal as a viable alternative to owning a second car. As prices for automobile ownership continue to rise and urban infrastructure enhances its connectivity, electronic cargo bicycles have gained widespread acceptance, according to Danhof. “City Arrow’s bicycles offer a safe, roomy, and environmentally conscious alternative for families.”
The City Arrow’s comprehensive Household Line is now available in two distinct configurations: the Efficiency Line and the Cargo Line. The Efficiency Line boasts a starting price of $6,999, featuring a robust 75Nm Bosch motor, a reliable KMC chain, and the intuitive Intuvia 100 display. Meanwhile, the Cargo Line, valued at $7,999, features an additional powerful 85Nm motor, paired with the Gates carbon belt for seamless maintenance-free performance, as well as the advanced Kiox display, providing intuitive smartphone integration.
Fusing style with innovation, each model features Bosch’s reliable mid-drive motors and an enhanced 545Wh battery, providing a generous range perfect for everyday adventures. Riders can benefit from a user-friendly management system, featuring a sleek shade display that keeps all trip details readily available with a glance.
