The gear controls on a cargo bike have specific functions, characteristics and standards adapted to the use of transporting large loads. Here is a detailed description:
Function :
Shifters on a cargo bike allow the rider to change gear ratios to suit different riding situations, especially when carrying heavy loads or going up hills. They offer the possibility of changing gears to adjust the effort required for pedaling depending on the weight carried and the terrain.
Features :
1. Robustness:
Shifters for a cargo bike are typically designed to be sturdy and durable to handle the added stresses of carrying large loads. They are manufactured with strong, wear-resistant materials to ensure long life and reliability under varied usage conditions.
2. Ergonomics:
Although robustness is paramount, shifters must also provide comfortable ergonomics for the rider, especially during long periods of riding. They should be easy to reach and use, even when the bike is loaded, and provide a smooth, precise shifting feel.
3. Compatibility:
Shifters must be compatible with the cargo bike's drivetrain system, whether it's a traditional rear derailleur or an integrated gear hub. They must also be adapted to the number of speeds of the transmission system to allow optimal operation.
4. Adaptability:
Some cargo bikes are equipped with special drivetrain systems, such as hub gears or belt drives, which may require specific gear controls. The controls must be adapted to these systems to ensure optimal operation and harmonious integration with the rest of the bike.
Standards:
Standards for gear controls on a cargo bike can vary depending on the type of transmission used. The main standards include:
- Trigger Shifters:
Trigger shifters that allow you to change gears by pressing levers on the handlebars. They are often used with traditional rear derailleurs and are common on many cargo bikes equipped with chain drivetrains.
- Internally Geared Hubs (IGH):
For cargo bikes equipped with integrated gear hubs, the gear controls are generally rotary knobs or handles that allow you to select the different hub speeds.
In summary, the gear controls on a cargo bike are designed to provide robustness, ergonomics, compatibility and adaptability to meet the specific needs of carrying heavy loads while ensuring reliable and comfortable operation for the rider.
