FAQ
What exactly is a two-person electric cargo bike?
A two-person electric cargo bike is an electrically-assisted bicycle (e-bike) designed to carry two people comfortably — either two adults, or one adult with a child. The "cargo" format refers to the integrated passenger space built into the bike, allowing two people to ride together on the same machine without any additional accessories. The electric assistance compensates for the extra weight of two passengers and makes hill-climbing effortless.
Do I need e-bike experience to ride this cargo bike?
Riding an e-bike is very intuitive — you pedal normally and the motor assists you automatically, with the power level you choose by selecting the assistance level. The Takamaka team will walk you through how it works in just a few minutes at pick-up. Basic cycling experience is all you need to handle this cargo bike safely and confidently.
What rides can we do with this cargo bike around Biarritz?
With electric assistance, every ride around Biarritz becomes accessible for two: the seafront and Grande Plage, Anglet's beaches (20 min via the cycling path), the route north to Bayonne (about 8km), the road south toward Saint-Jean-de-Luz and Hendaye on the Vélodyssée, and even the city heights for panoramic views of the Pyrenees. The shop team can recommend the best itinerary for your day.
What is the battery range for a full day's rental?
Modern e-bikes offer between 50 and 100km of range depending on conditions, which is more than sufficient for a day of riding around the Basque coast.
Is this bike suitable for two adults, or only one adult and a child?
The cargo bike is designed to carry two adults or one adult with a child aged 4 to 14. For two adults, the electric assistance is especially valuable for managing the combined weight on the hills. Check the maximum total weight with the Takamaka team before booking to confirm the setup works for your situation.
