Soon to be introduced at Eurobike 2022, the Ouca Bikes electric cargo bike will play the versatility card with three well-defined uses: the transport of goods, objects and people.
Eurobike 2022 (July 13-17) will be an opportunity to discover lots of new things around the electric bike notably. The Finnish company Ouca, founded by Jani Sipilä, will take the opportunity to exhibit its latest project in this area, the Ouca Bikes, tells us eBikeNews. This electric cargo bike aims to reach both a professional target and the general public.
The Ouca Bikes was designed for transporting goods, tools and people. Three versions have been developed, each benefiting from small adjustments to adapt to its use. The Ouca Space, for example, has a huge cargo space placed at the front of the bike and supported by two wheels – this is the principle of the scooter.
Up to 870 liters
This hold, with an initial capacity of 570 litres, can accommodate a cover increasing its space to 870 liters in order to accommodate a large quantity of goods to be delivered to a customer. The cover also protects everything in the event of bad weather. This is not the case with the Ouca Transport, the second version of this VAE.
