TARRAN T1 Pro: A Smarter Cargo Bike for Urban Life

View all 9 Photos

Unveiled at Eurobike 2024, the TARRAN T1 Pro marks a thoughtful step forward for city cargo bikes. Compact at just 2.26 meters long, it’s designed to fit two or three children comfortably without feeling oversized or sluggish in tight urban streets. Much of its stability comes from a small but smart detail: TARRAN’s proprietary Dynamic Dualdrive landing gears. As the rider slows, tiny landing wheels deploy automatically to steady the bike, especially useful when braking at intersections or waiting at lights. They tuck back in once the bike picks up speed. Each is motorized independently, adding a small layer of adaptability to an already intuitive system.

Technology here doesn’t feel like an afterthought—it’s part of the ride. A 5.2-inch touchscreen running TARRAN’s own OS manages everything from lights to navigation, locking, and security, and it’s paired with simple handlebar buttons to keep everything accessible without reaching around. A rear-facing radar and camera monitor traffic and send alerts via handlebar vibrations and live feeds, adding a level of safety that’s active rather than reactive. The T1 Pro also brings more practical touches: built-in Bluetooth speakers, a Qi wireless charging pad, and enough USB ports to power every passenger’s phone. The frame carries up to 220 kg, and the layout is flexible: two kids up front, three Euroboxes, or a mix of cargo and extra seating on the rear rack. Batteries are hidden under the cargo box for weight balance and security, delivering up to 200 kilometers of range—plenty for a full day’s worth of errands, school runs, or even an impromptu weekend trip across town.

Under the skin, the mechanics are built for real use, not just showroom specs. Full suspension, 180mm hydraulic disc brakes, a Gates Carbon Drive CDX belt, and an Enviolo Heavy Duty hub keep maintenance needs low and riding smooth. The self-developed motor reads sensor data in real time to fine-tune assistance, pushing out 100Nm of torque—more than enough to take on hills or heavy loads without second-guessing. Design details show up everywhere: the child-safe EPP cargo box, the environmental certifications on materials, and a strong focus on privacy in the bike’s digital systems, ensuring riders’ data stays protected. Industrial design firm KISKA helped shape the final look, blending sensors, lights, and hardware into a streamlined, fully integrated frame that feels distinctly modern but grounded in real-world needs.
