What Are 10 Fun Things to Try on an Cargo E Bike?

Welcome to the exciting world of electric bikes! Whether you're new to e-biking or already a devoted rider, it's time to explore just how joyful and adventurous life on two (electrically assisted) wheels can be.

Today, e cargo bikes are more than a practical commuting solution—they're your passport to new experiences, memorable journeys, and active fun. Across Europe, more and more people are swapping their car keys for cargo e bike handlebars, and it’s easy to see why.

In this article, we’ll share 10 fun and unique activities to try on your electric cargo bike—each one designed to add more excitement, freedom, and discovery to your ride.

 


1. Plan a Scenic Weekend Ride

Map out a stunning cycling route—perhaps a coastal path, a countryside trail, or a route through your favourite parks. With a spacious cargo box, you can bring along everything you need for a perfect day out: painting supplies, a violin, or even a portable coffee machine. Thanks to modular designs and customisable layouts, you can easily adapt your cargo space for different purposes. From protecting delicate items to carrying bulkier gear, your cargo bike is your versatile outdoor partner. And with electric assistance, your romantic ride will be as smooth as the scenery itself.

 


2. Take on an Urban Exploration Challenge

Turn your city into a cycling treasure hunt. Use your cargo bike to discover hidden alleyways, vibrant street art, quirky cafés, flea markets, and unfamiliar neighbourhoods. Set a fun theme—like hunting down the best murals or the most unusual local coffee spots—and snap some landmark photos along the way. Parking is never an issue thanks to your compact and easy-to-manoeuvre setup.

 


3. Join a Group Ride or E-Bike Meet-Up

While solo cycling is calming, group rides are fantastic for socialising and staying motivated. Look for local cycling clubs, Facebook groups, or meetups tailored to electric bike enthusiasts. You'll uncover new routes, receive useful riding tips, and build a supportive community with shared interests.

 


4. Choose Kid- and Pet-Friendly Cargo for Unforgettable Family Adventures

Many electric cargo bikes are designed with safe, comfortable seating for children and pets. Whether you're using a longtail or front-loader, routine outings can become memorable family trips. Plan themed rides (like superhero day!), or simply enjoy storytelling en route to the park. A front cargo box keeps everything in view so you can soak in the sights while keeping an eye on your little ones or furry friends.

Aitour’s clever modular design allows you to convert your box from a passenger space to a cargo area with ease. Features like safety belts, plush cushions, dog lead rings, and custom door options ensure comfort, safety, and practicality in every ride

 


5. Test Your Climbing Power on Local Hills

Feeling up for a challenge? Use your pedal-assist to conquer steep hills that once seemed impossible. Try out different power levels and gears—you might just discover a new viewpoint, park, or café at the top. It’s a brilliant way to build strength without fear, and with up to 110Nm of torque, you’ll climb with ease and control. The powerful parking system functions like a handbrake, ensuring you stay stable even on a slope.

 


6. Explore Local Food or Coffee Trails

Fit a thermal box in your electric cargobike and you can easily haul a week's worth of groceries. With up to 260L of storage capacity and a maximum payload of 300kg, even large or bulky purchases are no problem. From fresh produce to drinks crates, your electric cargo bike turns errands into easy rides.

 


7. Try a DIY Delivery Day

Get creative with how you use your cargo e bike—deliver homemade baked goods to friends, surprise neighbours with flowers, or run errands for your community. It’s a brilliant way to mix purpose with play. Some riders even turn this into a side hustle, documenting their journeys on social media and encouraging sustainable, local action.

8. Go Off-Road with a Fat-Tyre E-Bike

Love a bit of trail riding? The tilt-suspension system on your cargo e bike helps absorb bumps and uneven surfaces, offering a smooth ride even in nature. Paired with puncture-resistant tyres, it’s a dream setup for outdoor enthusiasts who don’t want to be limited by pavement.

✅ Safety tip: Wear gloves, bring a toolkit, and follow trail etiquette.

 


9. Turn Your Commute Into a Game

Turn your daily commute into an adventure. Challenge yourself to beat your previous travel times, explore alternative routes, or curate themed playlists to match your ride's mood. Say goodbye to traffic jams and rising petrol costs—your e-cargo bike brings you affordable, fun, and eco-friendly travel every day.

 


10. 📸 Create Content on the Go

Your cargo bike doubles as a mobile studio. Store your camera gear in the cargo box and film time-lapse videos, vlogs, or product reviews wherever you go. Add a GoPro or camera mount to your handlebars and share the joy of electric cycling with the world. Even if your battery runs low, pedal-assist ensures a seamless, enjoyable ride—creativity never stops rolling.
