Courier and delivery services
Gastronomy and retail food trade
E-bikes are also popular in the catering and food retail sectors: from bakeries and pizza delivery services to ice cream parlors and the transportation of fresh produce such as fruit and vegetables.
This type of transportation is also popular as a mobile sales stand, whether at weekly markets or special events such as street food markets. With appropriate branding, the brand is even better remembered by customers.
Agriculture
Even in agriculture, e-cargo bikes are bringing about sustainable changes. Farms away from the cities can transport their harvested produce, animal feed and tools. Here, cargo bikes are a flexible means of direct marketing to customers.
Gardeners and landscapers
Gardeners and landscapers are increasingly turning to innovative mobility solutions. Cargo bikes are also interesting for larger sports facilities for maintenance purposes.
Healthcare facilities and pharmacies
Both healthcare facilities and pharmacies use Velo Cargo Bikes for transportation. These enable pharmacies to deliver medicines quickly and healthcare providers to provide efficient care. In addition, people with disabilities regain their freedom of movement.
Municipalities and local authorities
Cargo e-bikes, which are specially equipped for municipal tasks, offer municipalities numerous advantages. Municipalities use the XCYC e-cargo bikes to maintain green spaces and transport materials and tools, which improves mobility in urban areas.
Industry, trade and crafts
Heavy-duty bikes such as the XCYC PICKUPs are reliable means of transportation for trade and commerce, for example in factory traffic on company premises or as a supplement to the vehicle fleet. Industry also benefits: Logistics, building management and internal goods transportation are made more efficient, even on large plants and factory premises.
Building yards
In construction yards, cargo e-bikes are ideal for transporting tools, materials and waste, especially in areas that are difficult to access.
XCYC WORK
The XCYC Work is your reliable partner for demanding transportation tasks. As a powerful cargo e-bike with high-quality equipment, it has been specially developed to handle even the heaviest loads with ease. Its robust construction and first-class components make it ideal for intensive and long-term use. Whether you are delivering goods in the city or transporting work equipment, the XCYC Work is ready to meet your transportation needs efficiently and reliably.

Efficient and emission-free mobility - advantages of XCYC Cargo E-Bikes
There are many reasons to switch to e-cargo bikes. But there are even more reasons to choose XCYC cargo bikes!
No driving licence required
High level of safety: reliable brakes for a controlled driving experience
Safety first! You can rely on the dependable braking system even with a heavy load. This allows you to drive safely at all times and maintain full control – even when cornering and in wet weather conditions. To unload, simply apply the parking brakes.
Large loading capacity
If you want to transport loads, you need space! Thanks to modular extension systems, you can easily adapt the loading area to your needs. A body height of up to 1.20 m and a load volume of up to 2 m3 are easily possible.
Bosch motor specially developed for cargo bikes
Excellent battery
The 500 Wh battery pack from Bosch is not only powerful, but also removable. So it doesn’t matter where the charging sockets are located. The charging time is also only 4.5 hours. And if range is not an issue, you can upgrade the XCYC Work with a double battery.
Adjustable engine power
Adjust the motor power to your load via the display! This allows you to use the battery more efficiently and ride even longer and further.
Multifunctional superstructure systems
No two loads are the same – which is why the loading area is also flexible. With the multifunctional e-cargo bike superstructures, from railing bodies to flat bodies and aluminum transport cases, XCYC cargo bikes have it all.
High load capacity and exceptional stability
The XCYC e-cargo bikes can easily cope with a total permissible load of up to 300 kg. Thanks to the 3-wheel design, you benefit from an exceptionally high level of stability and can place an extreme load on the cargo e-bike.

Comfort and ergonomics
Cover long distances without tiring! The ergonomic design of these cargo bikes with suspension front fork, comfortable seating position and ergonomic handlebars ensures comfort while riding and keeps your employees fit instead of tiring them out.

Real experience, real success
XCYC cargo bikes have long been in use. Here are some examples of where XCYC cargo bikes are already part of everyday life:
Stuttgart Airport – the cargo bikes are part of the electric fleet!
The XCYC PICKUP WORK with tarpaulin body is used at Stuttgart Airport for internal transportation. The e-cargo bikes support the STRzero climate strategy and are used by employees to transport tools and materials. Trainees benefit as no driving license is required and distances can be covered more quickly. The XCYC PICKUPs are a cost-effective addition to the e-fleet.
MrBrunch.ch – delivery service without emissions
Whether it’s a spontaneous brunch on a Sunday morning or a team event in the office – MrBrunch.ch delivers the right brunch boxes. The Zurich-based company focuses on regional, fresh and sustainable products in recycled packaging. The CO2-neutral delivery is carried out using electric cars and e-bikes such as the XCYC PICKUP WORK, which offer suitable storage space with a water-repellent tarpaulin structure.
CAP supermarkets – delivery of weekly groceries
Inclusion is a top priority at CAP supermarkets in Germany, as they are mainly run by people with disabilities. One special offer is the delivery service, which is available in stores like the one in Herrenberg. This service is carried out using XCYC PICKUPs. The cargo bikes, equipped with an aluminum transport case and a permissible total weight of 250 kg, are ideal for urban areas and are perfect for delivering drinks or weekly groceries.
You can find even more areas of application, practical examples and why cargo e-bikes are suitable for this in the topics Cargo bike in factory transport and Cargo bikes for delivery services. We will be happy to advise you if you have any questions about using them in your company.
About XCYC
The XCYC cargo bikes were developed and produced by technicians, designers and people with disabilities as part of the GWW project in Germany. The focus was on the idea of mobilizing people with mobility problems so that they can carry out everyday activities such as visits to the doctor, shopping or leisure activities without additional help. The cargo bikes were also used on the company’s own premises.
YouMo AG has been selling XCYC products in Switzerland for two years now and has successfully adapted them to the specific needs of the Swiss market. The business was then taken over in April 2024. The takeover represents a milestone and promises to expand the range of electromobility solutions for cargo bikes. The focus is on companies of all kinds. The aim is to contribute to a more sustainable infrastructure with green means of transportation and to offer flexible solutions for a wide range of industries.
