The new ZET means of transportation is an innovative e-cargo bike that is intended as a real alternative to the car. The model combines four wheels, different seating and charging options as well as an electric drive and is aimed at technology fans, families and urban mobility enthusiasts. Read how ZET is changing urban commuting and family mobility.
Highlights
- Four-wheeled e-bike with roof – tilt-proof, weather-protected and suitable for everyday use
- Two versions: Urban (2 people + storage space) and Family (up to 4 children + rain-protected body)
- E-assistance up to 25 km/h, legally as a pedelec, no driver’s license required
- Starting price for Urban Pure: from € 7,779, range up to 50 km
Urban and Family variants – flexible in use
The Urban models are designed for two people – rider plus one adult or child – and have a lockable box with a volume of up to 107 liters. The slimmed-down “Urban Pure” version does without the second seat and therefore offers additional storage space. The Family version is specially designed for transporting children.
It has a weatherproof body and straps, offers space for up to four children and includes a smaller, 50-liter transport box. The ZET Box is also available as a classic cargo bike with plenty of storage space. It has a huge, lockable storage space of 670 liters, ideal for large purchases or bulky freight.
Technology and handling
At first glance, the ZET impresses with its well thought-out technical design, which is obviously aimed at safety and suitability for everyday use. With its four wheels, it offers significantly more stability than conventional bicycles – it shows its strengths particularly on slippery surfaces, for example in frosty conditions. The integrated roof also provides reliable protection against rain and other weather conditions, making for a more pleasant riding experience, even in bad weather.
The vehicle is powered by an electric motor, which provides assistance up to a speed of 25 km/h. Pedaling is still required. As pedalling is still required, the ZET remains a pedelec in legal terms – meaning it can be ridden without a driver’s license. It is therefore also aimed at users who are looking for an uncomplicated yet power-assisted mobility solution.
Particularly practical: the side-roof model with an open design allows it to be used at any time of year. Although there is no integrated heating, the vehicle is ideally suited for mild to moderate temperatures – in winter conditions, additional measures such as blankets or suitable clothing may be necessary.
Possible uses – suitable for everyday use and low in emissions
Thanks to its versatile design, the ZET is ideal for everyday urban use. For families or commuters in particular, it offers a real alternative to the car – especially for short distances of up to around 50 kilometers. Whether to the nursery, supermarket or work: the ride comfort and transportation options are impressive in city traffic.
Passengers – such as children – can be seated comfortably and even larger purchases can be stowed away easily. The different model variants offer different storage space solutions and seat configurations depending on requirements, making them particularly flexible for everyday use.
Another advantage is the environmentally friendly drive system. Thanks to the electric motor, the ZET produces no local emissions and can be operated in a particularly sustainable manner if green electricity is used. The four-wheel design also ensures increased safety on slippery roads, meaning that the vehicle can also be used in winter conditions – and is significantly more stable on the road than classic two-wheel models.
Price and availability
- Urban Pure (no second seat, small battery): from €7,779, range of around 50 km per battery charge.
- Further prices for other equipment (Urban with seat, Family, Box) are not explicitly mentioned by ZETmobil, but are probably based on the equipment.
Conclusion
With the new ZET, a four-wheeled e-bike duo offers an impressive alternative to the car – whether for families with up to four children, couples or city shopping. Technically sound (25 km/h, range of up to 50 km, high tipping safety) and versatile. With an entry-level price of €7,779 and a modular choice of equipment, the ZET covers a wide range of user needs. A promising mobility concept for sustainable and pragmatic commuting in everyday urban life.
