What do you want to move?
CARLA is the emission-free alternative to a car and sets new standards for e-mobility. CARLA delights with a great riding pleasure and allows you to transport heavy loads quickly, environmentally friendly and without sitting in traffic.
CARLA can be combined with the most regular bicycle or e-bike. Thanks to an integrated mechanical overrun brake, it is possible to carry heavy loads extremely safely. Additionally, an electric support can make your Carla even more agile and faster.

“With our bike caravans, we spend a lot of time in nature and discover amazing places that you could never reach with a car and a conventional caravan.”

"That’s exactly what makes CARLA Cargo so special: it can be customized to your needs, moved on foot or by bike, powered electrically, requires very little parking space – and above all, people are absolutely thrilled by it!"

“The greatest advantage of the CARLA is that it allows me to show that you don’t always need a van to run a business. In everyday work, you can get along perfectly well without a combustion-engine vehicle. With the CARLA, I can do almost everything the companies around me do. The difference is that I look a lot better doing it — and people remember me far more than the tenth van driving down the street.”

Peter Blaha
Passerine, Kiel
My CARLA is simply super practical. I can transport everything very flexibly with it, it's super comfortable to ride, it's not complicated or unnatural at all. It's just so much fun. And of course it's easier to get to your destination than with a car.

Every trip with the CARLA, passing the traffic jam, is a real feeling of happiness. Even though I still drive from time to time, every trip with the CARLA surpasses the usual comfort of the car. My highlight: In summer, we organized a party for around 200 people entirely with cargo bikes and CARLAs - sustainable, flexible and simply great! (Image credits: Anne-Katrin Hutschenreuter)

We love the Carla for its large loading capacity. It is also very maneuverable and space-saving in city traffic. Last but not least, it comes from a friendly manufacturer in the region.

For men, peeing standing up is standard—for women, it's a revolution on three wheels this summer. With CARLA, our squat urinal is rolling across Wacken, Hurricane, and other festivals—equality now extends to the restroom.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Cargo Trailers
How does a CARLA CARGO trailer ride?
A CARLA CARGO cargo trailer is surprisingly easy and intuitive to ride. Even with a heavy load, the riding experience is virtually the same as riding a regular bike. The CARLA follows your bike or e-bike nimbly and nimbly through the city without limiting your turning radius—it just takes a little longer to get around. Unlike many cargo bikes, there’s no learning curve: just hook it up and ride off. The three-wheeled chassis, low center of gravity, and overrun brake ensure a safe and comfortable ride—even with heavy loads.
Who is a cargo trailer suitable for?
A bicycle cargo trailer is ideal for anyone who wants to transport goods, tools, or materials in a flexible and sustainable way. Whether you’re a delivery service, a small business, a gardening service, a beekeeping operation, a market vendor, a local government, or a private individual —a bicycle cargo trailer is a practical solution wherever loads need to be moved on a regular basis.
Compared to a cargo bike, you can continue using your existing bicycle or e-bike and only attach the trailer when needed. Depending on the model, loads of up to 200 kg can be transported safely and efficiently.
Discover here how our customers use the CARLA in their everyday (work) lives.
What sets CARLA CARGO cargo trailers apart?
CARLA CARGO cargo trailers combine a high payload capacity, intuitive handling, and maximum flexibility. Thanks to the three-wheel chassis, the integrated overrun brake, and the low center of gravity, loads can be transported safely and comfortably. The modular system allows for a wide variety of configurations—from transport platforms to mobile sales stands. This makes CARLA cargo trailers ideal for urban logistics, trades, delivery services, municipalities, and many other commercial applications.
Cargo trailer or cargo bike—what are the advantages of a cargo trailer?
Whether a cargo trailer or a cargo bike is the better choice depends on how you plan to use it. A cargo trailer for bicycles offers key advantages: It can be attached to various bicycles or e-bikes, often provides more cargo space and payload capacity, and can be easily stored when not in use. This keeps your bicycle flexible for everyday use, and you only use the trailer when you really need it.
The combination of a cargo bike and the CARLA is particularly powerful. It combines the high riding comfort of a cargo bike with the significantly larger transport capacity and high payload of a cargo trailer. This creates flexible transport solutions for urban logistics, trades, delivery services, and many other commercial applications.
Can I build a mobile sales stand on a CARLA?
Yes. The CARLA is ideal as the basis for a mobile sales stand. Thanks to its modular loading area, you can customize sales, catering, or information stands—from coffee stands and street food to market or promotional stands.
On our website, you’ll find numerous setups and real-world examples that demonstrate just how versatile the CARLA can be for mobile sales. This allows you to draw on proven solutions or design your sales stand entirely according to your needs.
What subsidies are available for cargo trailers?
Many cities, municipalities, and states offer subsidies for the purchase of cargo trailers by individuals, businesses, or organizations. The subsidy programs vary by region.
You can find more information here.
Where can I test ride a CARLA?
Contact the nearest dealer directly and schedule a test ride. See the benefits of a CARLA for yourself in person, and just hit the road. We have many partner dealers—now all over the world—who specialize in cargo bikes and cargo trailers.
How long does it take to deliver a CARLA CARGO cargo trailer?
Normally we deliver within 4 weeks after placing the order. With cargo boxes and desired color, it may take longer (plus 2 weeks). The obligatory deposit is considered as placing of order. The date on the order confirmation counts as the start of the expected delivery date.
