Family electric bike

Do you have young children and are you looking for an electric bike with extra room without sacrificing space or safety? A range of dedicated bikes is designed for these everyday needs.

Electric bikes for moms: the ideal solution for families

Electric bikes designed specifically for mothers once made less and less sense. In today's society, fathers also take their children to school or to sports activities! A "mother's bike" is quite simply an electric bike designed for anyone who wants to take children out for a spin, with practical adjustments to make transporting children as safe and easy as possible.

What distinguishes an electric family bike for moms from other electric bikes?

Buying an electric mom's bike? Here are some points to keep in mind.

There are three main types of propulsion for electric bicycles: 

1. front-wheel drive
2. central traction
3. rear-wheel drive

Each type has its own advantages. For example, front-wheelfront-wheel drive front-wheel drive offers good balance and is generally less expensive, while the central transmission offers better performance and a natural cycling feel. Rear-wheel drive offers the best traction and control, especially when climbing hills.

With a mom's bike, it's also important to think about the number and location of child seats. Depending on the number of children and their ages, you may need one or two seats, which can be placed in the front or rear. Look for the best child seats at Upway.

Make sure every child has a safe, comfortable seat and that the weight is well distributed for a stable ride.

Many people choose a normal bike with a seat on it. That may be, but the advantages of a mom's bike are just so much fun. A wide running board, wide handlebars, lockable handlebars, wide kickstand: many things have been thought out for a mother's bike, and not without reason.

An electric bike for parents differs from conventional electric bikes in the following ways:

1. A low, spacious entrance
2. A stronger chassis to support a heavy load
3. Wide handlebars
4. A front and/or rear seat
5. Additional space for accessories
6. The possibility of carrying up to 2 children
7. tires and wide spokes
8. A double standard
9. Powerful braking or two-hand braking
10. A steering lock

Women's electric bike vs. parent's bike

Although a woman's electric bike and a mother's bike may seem similar at first glance, there are crucial differences that set them apart. Firstly, a mother's bike is specially designed to make transporting children safer and more comfortable. This is achieved through the design of the frame, which is often longer and more stable than that of an ordinary woman's electric bike. Don't forget that you have to move a lot of extra kilos with a child on the front and back, and that the bike itself is also a little heavier than usual. What's more, mother bikes are equipped with extra features such as double crutches and handlebar locks, which contribute to the bike's overall stability, especially when stationary with a child on it.

Very important, whatever type of "mommy bike" you buy: make sure you can reach the ground with your feet in a very stable way. It's great if you can stop at a traffic light and still sit on the saddle to keep the bike balanced.

The best electric family bikes

When buying an electric family bike, it's also important to consider the price. While cheaper models may be attractive, they can be more expensive in the long run due to frequent maintenance or early replacement. It is therefore advisable to invest in a quality bike.

Our selection includes only leading brands known for their quality, durability and innovation. What's more, all our bikes come with an extended warranty, offering an extra layer of assurance to our customers. Here are a few more tips for choosing the perfect mother bike:

1. High-quality motor system: Choose a high-quality motor system and determine the power required.
2. Heavy-duty luggage rack: Choose an extra-strong carrier and decide how many children you want to transport.
3. Stability and safety: Make sure the bike is very stable and safe by opting for a steering lock, a double stand and powerful brakes, preferably hydraulic or disc brakes.
4. Range: Calculate how many kilometers you'll cover daily and weekly. If you often commute to take the kids to school or to sports activities, you need a bike with greater range.

Mother bikes are considerably less expensive than cargo bikes and longtails. Compared with cargo bikes, they take up much less space in a bike rack or in your garden shed. All in all, if you want to transport two or more children, a bakfiets long-tail may be a better choice.
