Cargo bike chains are essential components that help transfer the rider's pedaling power to the bike's wheels, allowing them to move. Here is a description of their function, their characteristics, the standards and the different types of chains for cargo bikes:

Function :



1. Power transfer:

Cargo bike chains transmit the rider's pedaling power from the crankset to the bike's wheels, helping propel the bike forward.

2. Maintaining tension:

Chains must maintain adequate tension to ensure smooth and efficient operation of the drive system.

Features :

1. Length:

The length of the chain must be adapted to the geometry of the cargo bike frame and the size of the chainrings and sprockets to ensure optimal operation.

2. Number of links:

Chains are available in different lengths, determined by the number of links. It's important to choose a chain with the right number of links to fit the specific bike setup.

3. Width:

The width of the chain must match the size of the chainrings and sprockets to ensure proper engagement and smooth operation of the transmission system.

Standards:

1. Speed ​​Compatibility:

Cargo bike chains are available in different widths to match the number of speeds in the transmission system. It is important to choose a chain compatible with the number of speeds on your cargo bike.

2. Mounting type:

Chains can be designed for single speed mounting or for use with multiple speed systems. It is important to choose a chain compatible with the transmission system of your cargo bike.

Different types of chains for cargo bikes:

1. Single speed chains:

These chains are designed for use with single speed drivetrain systems, making them simple and easy to maintain.

2. Multi-speed chains:

These chains are designed for use with multi-speed transmission systems, providing a greater range of ratios to accommodate different driving conditions and transport loads.

In summary, cargo bike chains play a crucial role in transferring pedaling power from the rider to the bike wheels. With specific features such as length, width and gear compatibility, as well as manufacturing standards, they contribute significantly to the performance and reliability of a cargo bike's drivetrain system.
