What makes the Multicharger so special?
The Multicharger is not just a cargo bike. It's a longtail bikewhich means it has an extended luggage rack, while retaining the maneuverability of a conventional electric bike. That's the difference with traditional two-wheelers: agile in town, but with impressive load capacity.
Why the Multicharger stands out:
-
Handles as easily as a conventional e-bike
-
Carries two to three children
-
High-quality safety thanks to German engineering
-
Positioned between cargo bikes and classic electric bikes
-
Fully customizable to your needs
