Electric cargo bikes offer many benefits in The Hague:
- Eco-friendly transport in a busy city
- Easy to maneuver through narrow streets and bike lanes
- Ideal for groceries and transporting children
- Fewer parking issues than with a car
- Faster than a regular bike, especially with headwinds along the coast
For transporting children in The Hague, we recommend:

With an electric cargo bike in The Hague, you can ride an average of 40-60 km on a single charge. This is more than enough for daily use in the city and surrounding areas, such as trips to Scheveningen or the Westland. The exact distance depends on factors such as:
- Battery capacity
- Weight of the load
- Riding style and speed
- Weather conditions (wind at the coast)
Just like in the rest of the Netherlands, the following rules apply to electric cargo bikes in The Hague:
- Maximum pedal assistance up to 25 km/h
- Mandatory use of bike lanes
- Lights mandatory in the dark
- Parking in designated bike parking zones
- Please note: in pedestrian zones such as Grote Marktstraat, cycling is sometimes prohibited during shopping hours.
The main differences are:
- Load capacity: cargo bikes can carry more
- Stability: cargo bikes are more stable due to three wheels
- Maneuverability: regular e-bikes are more maneuverable in heavy traffic
- Price: electric cargo bikes are generally more expensive
- Parking: cargo bikes need more space to park
