Introducing TOKYOBIKE PORTER: A New Electric Cargo Bicycle

On September 26, 2025, Tokyobike will launch its first electric cargo bicycle, the TOKYOBIKE PORTER. This innovative bike aims to redefine urban mobility, with the motto “What do you CARRY?” encouraging riders to embrace the joys of city life.

A New Way to Enjoy the City

Designed not just for riding but for transporting items, the TOKYOBIKE PORTER offers a fresh approach to urban exploration. Whether it's stockpiling leisure goods for a sunny day at the park, hauling groceries from the local market, or moving heavy equipment, this electric cargo bike opens up new possibilities for residents to enjoy their surroundings with ease. The motto of the bicycle emphasizes that "daily commutes can become enjoyable adventures."

What is an Electric Cargo Bicycle?

Electric cargo bicycles are built for convenience and efficiency. Equipped with powerful electric assistance, these bikes can make transporting heavy loads a breeze, especially on inclines. From logistics and child transport to shopping, the TOKYOBIKE PORTER serves as an essential urban mobility solution that caters to a wide range of needs.

The Development Journey

The idea behind the TOKYOBIKE PORTER stems from the changing lifestyles of urban dwellers in Tokyo. For over two decades, the company has focused on creating bicycles that allow users to experience Tokyo comfortably. With shifting consumer desires leaning towards versatility and ease of use, demand for bikes that could carry more without sacrificing the joy of riding has risen. This led to the creation of the PORTER, allowing riders to enjoy the city even when carrying heavier loads.

The TOKYOBIKE PORTER is a result of transformative design. Not only does it include an electric assist feature to alleviate the physical strain of transporting goods, but it also retains an aesthetic appeal that blends seamlessly with city life. The powerful motor and supportive battery work quietly in the background, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable ride.
