The cargo bike boom continues throughout Europe despite or perhaps because of the Corona crisis. What is driving the market and which conditions will change? A European industry standard for cargo bikes is being developed and the EU is reviewing the classification and type approval requirements for pedelecs. All European industry events, such as the International Cargo Bike Festival, have to prepare for a continuation of the pandemic.
