Tavarapyörät

Tavarapyörät, also known as cargo bikes, are bicycles designed to carry heavy loads. They come in various configurations, including two-wheeled and three-wheeled models. The primary characteristic of a tavarapyörä is its extended frame, often featuring a large cargo area or platform situated either in front of the rider or behind the rear wheel.

The cargo capacity of tavarapyörät makes them a practical alternative to motor vehicles for certain tasks, particularly in urban environments. They are frequently used for transporting goods by businesses, such as delivery services, florists, and tradespeople. Families also utilize tavarapyörät for carrying children, groceries, and other everyday items.

Tavarapyörät can be powered by human pedaling, or they can be equipped with electric assist motors, known as sähköavusteiset tavarapyörät. Electric assistance significantly enhances their usability, making it easier to navigate hills and carry heavier loads over longer distances.

The advantages of using tavarapyörät include reduced environmental impact, lower operating costs compared to cars, and the ability to navigate traffic congestion more easily. They also promote physical activity. Despite their specialized nature, tavarapyörät are gaining popularity as a sustainable and efficient mode of transportation.
