Urban Arrow, the leader in premium electric cargo bikes, today introduced the FamilyNext Pro, the next generation of its iconic, award-winning Family model to the North American market. Designed to make movement a shared experience, the FamilyNext Pro delivers enhanced comfort, safety, and style to everyday rides—with the addition of the long-awaited front suspension fork for an even smoother ride. Whether it’s school drop-offs, weekend errands, or simply enjoying the road together as a family, this new model brings elevated performance and simple joy to everyday life.
Built for families, designed for life
Since 2011, Urban Arrow has partnered with industry leaders like Bosch, Enviolo, and Gates to deliver the highest-quality electric cargo bikes on the road. The FamilyNext Pro continues that tradition, combining stepless shifting with the durability and resilience of a belt drive powered by a best-in-class electronics system with smart technology.
The refreshed design is sleek and modern, delivers improved comfort and innovative safety features, all while maintaining the trusted functionality and performance families rely on. That thoughtful balance of form and function earned FamilyNext Pro the 2025 iF Design Award, one of the most respected recognitions in global product design. With a total maximum weight capacity of 550 pounds and 275 pounds for the front box, the FamilyNext Pro holds more weight than any other cargo bike in its class.
FamilyNext Pro Key Features and Upgrades:
- Suspension for smoother, more stable rides: The integrated front suspension fork helps absorb bumps and vibrations, keeping kids comfortable and the ride steady—even on uneven city streets. Stepless shifting adds to the ease, especially when tackling hills.
- Enhanced illumination and visibility: Integrated LED lighting in the front corners of the box boosts safety for early mornings and late-night rides.
- Easier access and upgraded comfort: A new foothold cutout placement in the front box makes entering and exiting easy for small passengers and a new saddle and repositioned seat makes mounting and dismounting easier for riders and passengers alike.
- One-handed seatbelt system: A simplified 3-point seatbelt system lets parents easily and securely buckle children in with one hand.
- More space for growing families: A larger, redesigned box offers more room for extra luggage, backpacks, groceries or up to four children, including babies as young as three months old.
- Stronger and safer construction: The new box design reinforced with an EPP foam box—the same material used in helmets–enhances the bike’s durability and increases stability, keeping valuable cargo even safer.
“With FamilyNext Pro, we’re giving families a smarter way to move through the city—without the stress of traffic, car seats, or parking,” said Mark Danhof, General Manager of Urban Arrow North America. “It’s not just about getting from A to B. It’s about gaining time, freedom, and everyday moments with your little ones—even starting as early as three months old. This bike turns routines into meaningful time together.”
