A bakfiets is a type of cargo bicycle that features a large box or container at the front, designed to carry goods or passengers. Originating in the Netherlands, it is popular for its practicality and ability to transport children, groceries, or other items while maintaining a compact size. These bicycles are often equipped with two wheels in the back and one in the front, providing stability and ease of handling. Many bakfiets models are electric, making it easier to ride with heavy loads. They are an eco-friendly alternative to cars, promoting sustainable urban transport.
