How time flies. My first comment Original city arrows In 2020, when my kids were 3 and 5 years old. At that time, nothing was as fun as being tied to a preschooler Large motor truck Stepping around town, screaming, wind blowing on your face. Alas, they are now 8 and 10 years old. Two days ago when I picked up my 8-year-old, he squatted in the box while sitting in the settling seat (with a seat belt!) so that his friends wouldn’t see him.
All say so: My Tern GSD I’m a good friend, but I wish my kids were five years younger, so I could buy the Familynext Pro. Urban Arrow’s new electric cargo bike has a lot of great upgrades, is easier to ride than ever before, and it’s more useful as my kids get older.

To the naked eye, the two biggest upgrades to the Familynext Pro are the new redesigned cargo box and suspension on the fork. (It also has a very elegant new sage green, but unfortunately my demo bike is black.)
The box looks completely different – my friend asked if my bike had been longer in some way. It’s longer and slimmer with rounded corners instead of square corners and now has headlights on the bike. It has shorter sides, so it’s easier to get in and out. Unlike other Bakfiets or Box Bikes I’ve tried, the box is on the ground. I can confirm that in my tests, both adults and kids can easily climb.
The box is made of extended polypropylene (EPP) foam and is initially disturbing – it easily shows jingling and bumps. However, Urban Arrow describes it as a “upside-down helmet” and the foam cushioning does convince me that even if I put my bike on, my kids or friends won’t hit the sidewalk immediately. You can, too Easily replace foam If a crash or other ugly event occurs.
Now, the front cargo box has a front fork with 60mm travel. I really like this. This is indeed a safety issue when you have 60 to 150 pounds in the front box. I was cruising at 20 mph and hit a pothole that I just blew from.
