The streets of European cities might soon look radically different, thanks to ZET—a revolutionary electric cargo bike challenging the notion that cars are essential for family transport. Designed to comfortably seat up to five passengers, this emission-free vehicle combines Dutch cycling practicality with German engineering, promising a viable alternative to congested roads and costly car ownership.
Why It’s Turning Heads
ZET isn’t just another e-bike. With a modular chassis built from lightweight aerospace-grade aluminum, it features a weather-protected cabin, intuitive steering, and a low center of gravity for stability. The electric assist motor (capable of 25 km/h in the EU) tackles hills effortlessly, while a 1,000 Wh battery offers a 90 km range—enough for daily school runs, grocery hauls, or commuting. Safety innovations include hydraulic disc brakes, adaptive LED lighting, and a crumple zone akin to small EVs.
For families, the design is a game-changer: three child seats integrate seamlessly with adult seating, and a 300-liter cargo space fits strollers or weekly shopping. "We reimagined urban transport from scratch," says Lena Fischer, ZET’s lead engineer. "Why drive a two-ton car to move five people when 150 kg of e-bike suffices?"
The Car Replacement Dream
Early adopters in Berlin and Amsterdam report slashing transportation costs by 90%. With no fuel, insurance, or parking fees, ZET’s €7,499 price tag pays for itself in under three years compared to car ownership. Environmental gains are equally compelling: if 10% of urban families switched, carbon emissions could drop by 4 million tons annually across the EU.
But can it truly replace cars? ZET’s all-weather capabilities suggest yes. The enclosed cabin keeps riders dry, while heated seats and integrated storage make winter rides feasible. For longer trips, it’s compatible with bike lanes and public transit—foldable rear seats allow it to board trains.

The Road Ahead
Regulatory hurdles remain—some cities still classify multi-passenger e-bikes differently—but ZET’s team is lobbying for inclusive micro-mobility laws. As cities like Paris and Copenhagen invest in cycling infrastructure, ZET’s vision of car-free families inches closer to reality.
"It’s not about hating cars," Fischer clarifies. "It’s about offering freedom from them." With pre-orders soaring and delivery set for early 2026, this e-bike might just pedal urban transport into a greener future.
