🧵 Excited to share the news about this amazing new heavy duty E-Cargobike from #Oulu, #Finland. The #KiddieBus version can safely & comfortably take eight (8) kids. It can also carry up to 870 liters of cargo 💪 1/x

We were invited for test ride with development version of bike with @Tinkerlmatz in late January in lovely -16°C weather, taking turns in the saddle & passenger department 🤗 2/x

Our initial impressions after the test ride were that it feels really strong & well made with stability & durability and easy & effective maintenance in mind. Smaller but wider wheels & longer wheelbase help w/ low center of gravity & stability especially with precious cargo. 3/x

For example, the #KiddieBus version is designed especially with daycare and pre-schools in mind, as it can carry eight children. 4/x

The Space version is designed for city deliveries, parcels, food etc with its up to 870 liter capacity in the lockable cargo bay.

Ouca Bikes is the same company that's behind the lovely #MuksuBussi kiddiebus cargo bikes. Now they've gone a huge leap forward & developed their completely own model from a scratch. I'm so happy to see this kind of sustainable #BicycleIndustry develop further here in #Oulu 🥰6/x

Photos from oucabikes.com, my camera and Muksubussi FB page. Go check them out, while I'm looking forward to hosting a #livestream with the new cargo bike and of course the guys behind Ouca really soon! 🤗 7/7
