On this weeks program Chris chats to Jurgen Heikamp from Dutch Cargo bike about the E Cargo Bike Demo Day at Edinburgh Gardens in North Fitzroy, 10am - 2pm, Sunday 18th April 2021. We also discuss e-cargobikes can do, last kilometre logistics, increased use for local freight, basic technical details, capacity, gearing, distance, charging requirements and what payment options are available as e-bikes can be more expensive than a bike although running costs are equal out when compared to a car,
