Who are we?

Dutch Cargo is a pioneering company specialising in the import, distribution and retail of high-end premium and luxureous European eBikes and eCargo Bikes.

Co-founder Emmy Heikamp was inspired to revisit the magic of her Dutch childhood by riding with her young children on a beautiful Family Cargo Bike. After making this dream a reality, she quickly realised that more people and families could also benefit from such a pragmatic lifestyle concept. And so Dutch Cargo was launched in 2010 together with her husband. Emmy and Jurgen devoted their energy to introducing world-famous Dutch cycling culture to Australia and New Zealand.

Electric bikes and cargo bikes play a pivotal role in bolstering environmental sustainability. By embracing these eco-friendly alternatives, individuals and businesses can significantly reduce carbon emissions and traffic congestion. Electric bikes offer a low-carbon mode of transportation, promoting cleaner air and decreasing reliance on fossil fuels. Cargo bikes facilitate efficient urban freight movement, curbing pollution and noise generated by traditional delivery methods. Both solutions contribute to curbing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting healthier urban environments, and fostering a sustainable future. Embracing these innovative options showcases a commitment to mitigating climate change and preserving the planet for future generations.

Electric bikes and cargo bikes have emerged as economic catalysts with their multifaceted advantages. They invigorate local economies by boosting small businesses engaged in eco-friendly deliveries and services. Reduced operational costs compared to traditional vehicles translate into higher profit margins. The growth of electric bike industries generates employment opportunities in manufacturing, maintenance, and related services. Moreover, decreased reliance on fossil fuels saves valuable resources and foreign exchange. These bikes also alleviate urban traffic congestion, enhancing overall productivity. By fostering entrepreneurship, job creation, and efficient urban logistics, electric and cargo bikes substantially contribute to economic resilience and prosperity.

Electric bikes and cargo bikes hold profound sociocultural significance by reshaping urban dynamics. They foster community engagement and interaction, as riders opt for more sustainable, human-paced modes of transport. Cargo bikes revive a sense of local commerce, connecting people with neighborhood businesses and farmers' markets. These bikes also encourage healthier lifestyles, promoting physical activity and reducing sedentary behavior. By prioritizing inclusivity, they offer accessible transportation options for diverse demographics, bridging social gaps. This cultural shift towards greener mobility options not only enhances well-being but also strengthens a sense of shared responsibility for the environment, fostering a more connected, conscious, and harmonious society.
