Electric cargo bikes are now one of the most popular means of transport in large cities.
But one of the most popular manufacturers of cargo bikes has fallen into disrepute for some time.
Babboe stopped sales on orders from the Dutch authorities due to broken frames on its cargo bikes.
If you are now looking for an alternative, we have some interesting models here.

Why were
Babboe cargo bikes recalled
?
The cargo bike manufacturer Babboe has also started a recall campaign for some of its models in Germany.
The reason for this is safety defects that can lead to frame breakages.
Babboe owners can check whether their bike is part of the recall campaign on a specially created website.
According to current knowledge, the affected models are:
Babboe City/City-E/City Mountain
Babboe Curve/Curve-E/Curve Mountain
Babboe Big/Big E
Babboe Dog/Dog-E
Babboe Max E
Babboe Mini-E/Mini Mountain
Babboe Pro Trike/Trike-E/Trike XL
Babboe Carve-E/Carve Mountain
Sales of these cargo bikes have already been stopped in the Netherlands.
Affected specimens are also being recalled in Germany.
Babboe will inform the owners as quickly as possible about the necessary measures.
