Longtail, front loader or trike
On a longtail the children sit behind you on the extended rack; it rides almost like a normal bike and takes little space. In a front loader they sit in a box in front of you, in view and under a rain cover, with room for a baby seat. A trike stands by itself at traffic lights and has the largest box, but it is slower and wider.
What to check before you buy
Two children of four and seven weigh around 45 kg together, plus seats and bags. Compare that with the rating of the rack or box and with the permitted total weight, which includes you. Look for seat belts or rails, footrests and wheel guards, and for a motor of at least 60 to 70 Nm if you live among hills.
Children grow
A bike that fits two toddlers may be tight for two schoolchildren. On a longtail the rack rating decides how long it lasts; in a box it is shoulder width and legroom. Babies may only ride in a seat the manufacturer approves, and the rules for carrying passengers differ by country, so check the local regulations.
Frequently asked questions
Up to what age can two children ride on a cargo bike?
It depends on the load rating, not on age. Many longtails carry 60 to 80 kg on the rear rack, which covers two children up to roughly eight or ten years.
Is a longtail or a front loader better for two children?
A longtail is lighter, shorter and cheaper. A front loader is better for very young children, bad weather and for keeping an eye on them while riding.
Can I carry a baby and an older child together?
Yes, most easily in a front loader with an approved baby seat next to a bench seat. Follow the minimum age the manufacturer gives for the baby seat.
