Do you live or work in the city? Chances are you see one or more business cargo bikes whiz by every day. That's because there are more and more businesses use cargobikes on our roads. A business cargo bike is a bicycle specially designed for transporting goods, making it the perfect means of transport for almost all types of business professionals. It can be used for delivering packages, for local retailers to transport local products to customers and even for plumbers and other contractors to get to their next job.
It has been many years since business cargobikes were first used for transport. In fact, transport bikes have developed alongside regular bicycles from the very start. The first models were traditionally designed bicycles with a large, open wooden box. The baker's bike from the beginning of the 20th century is a good example of an early cargo bike. It allowed the baker or his helper to transport large amounts of inventory to customers. There were a number of different models available, first in wood and later in aluminum. Some baker's bikes even had a cover made of canvas.
In 2020, Centaur Cargo merged with Babboe to become Babboe Pro. This allowed Centaur Cargo and Babboe to combine their strengths, providing Centaur Cargo with a competitive advantage in the growing market for commercial cargobikes for business purposes.
The more products that were transported, the heavier the bike. The invention of the motorized cart was a relief for many. After all, a motorized cart made it possible to serve a much larger region. With the advent of the automobile and delivery van, the traditional cargo bike disappeared from the street scene.
In today's increasingly densely populated cities, the environment is under more pressure and the delivery of goods less efficient. Add to that the increasing number of online orders of goods, services and food products. The growing number of delivery vans on our roads threatens to clog city streets. Business owners and government authorities need an alternative and sustainable means of transport. In response to these developments, the cargobike business is growing.

Parallel to the growing popularity of cargobikes for delivering products and packages, the specific demands placed on these cargobikes are also changing. The volume and weight of deliveries, for instance, have increased. This translates into the need for a larger load capacity, sturdier bike (especially the frame and wheels), higher quality pedal support and greater battery capacity.
That is why Centaur Cargo (today's Babboe Pro) have developed durable and affordable transport solutions that contribute to a more liveable and accessible city. Centaur Cargo has provided companies and government authorities with smart and affordable "last mile solutions". The cargobike business was developed to promote a clean and easy way to move faster through city traffic.
