Analyzing the impact of bicycle geometry and cargo loading on the rideability and safety of cargo bikes: an investigative study by Paudel, Milan, Yap, Fook Fah

“…Results: Long-john cargo bikes are unstable for lightweight cargo loads, more sensitive to cargo loads, and therefore may not be suitable for riding in narrow, crowded spaces like footpaths. Moreover, retrofitted cargo bikes should only be used to carry lightweight cargo as a combination of heavy cargo load and a powerful rear wheel motor poses a potential risk of accidents. …”
