"Faster than expected. Wrote on WhatsApp at 14:00, by 14:38 the mechanic was at my door with the cargo bike. Flat fixed, brake adjusted, CHF 99. Will be back."

One chief mechanic. Cargo bike. Mobile in Zurich.

Cargo FAQ
What cargo parents really ask.
Cargo Minimal every 6 months (brakes + seat belts + bolts), Cargo Full 1× per year. If you ride year-round: spring + autumn.
Mechanically almost all. Exception: certain old 3-wheel Christianias with original drum brakes — they need special tools. We order them on demand.
Yes. We work outside under canopies, in tram shelters, in entryways — wherever there is ~3m² of space.
CHF 129 all-in. A bit more than city bike (CHF 99) because cargo wheels need more disassembly.
Mounting, sensors, display, firmware update (Bosch DiagnosticTool) — yes. Motor internals and battery repair — no, that's the manufacturer.
