Yuba Cargo Accessory Guide
The possibilities are almost endless on what you can carry with a Yuba cargo bike! Read on to find the best way to optimize your bike for carrying, kids, groceries and more.
Passengers
Cargo bikes are a great way to carry kids both big and small, but you can also carry another adult with the right accessories. Two things to keep in mind when carrying passengers on your Yuba cargo bike:
- Stay within the weight limits (especially important when carrying a grownup!) of your rear rack and the bike max gross vehicle weight.
- Make sure to always include not just seating but also handhold, foot and leg protection and also foot support for your passenger(s).
- If carrying children we highly recommend a sturdy kickstand for stability while loading and unloading.
Each Yuba bike platform may have different weight limits, please refer to Yuba's product information for your bike.
The bike above is equipped with Monkey Bars, Soft Spots and Sideboards for a comfy, safe ride.
Cargo
Yuba's specialty is the add-ons of racks, panniers, bags and baskets designed to optimize your cargo bike experience. A few things to remember when hauling are:
- Stay within the weight limits on your front and rear racks and the bike max gross vehicle weight.
- Riding a bike loaded up with heavy cargo can feel different from just riding a bicycle.
- You will need to brake sooner and more gently than you may be used to, it's a good idea to practice in a less-trafficked area.
- Rear racks can carry more weight than the front, load your heaviest items on the rear rack.
- Load your panniers and baskets with the heaviest items on the bottom to keep a low center of gravity for easy handling.
The bike above is equipped with the Bread Basket, Go-Getter Bag and Cargo Straps securing the flower crate for a stable ride.
