"Back then, nothing delighted a couple of preschoolers more than strapping into a big, motorized cargo bike and scooting around town, shrieking, with the wind blowing in their tiny faces. Alas, they are now 8 and 10. When I picked up my 8-year-old two days ago, he crouched down in the box while sitting on the padded seats (with seat belts!) so that none of his friends would see him."
"All this to say: My Tern GSD and I are great friends, but I wish my kids were five years younger so I could've bought the FamilyNext Pro instead. Urban Arrow's new electric cargo bike has a lot of great upgrades, is easier to ride than ever, and is even more useful as my kids have gotten older."
"The box looks totally different-my friend asked if my bike had gotten longer somehow. It's longer and slimmer, with rounded corners instead of square ones, and there are now headlights on the bike. It has shorter sides, so it's easier to get in and out. Unlike other bakfiets, or box bikes, that I've tried, the box sits much lower to the ground. I can confirm that in my testing, both adults and kids had an easy time climbing in and out."
The FamilyNext Pro features a longer, slimmer cargo box with rounded corners, shorter sides, lower seating height, and integrated headlights for easier entry and exit. The cargo box uses expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam that cushions impacts, can be replaced after damage, and provides added protection in a tip-over. A front fork with 60 millimeters of travel adds suspension to smooth the ride and increase safety. The bike is available in a new sage green as well as black. Both adults and children found the lower box easy to climb into and out of.
