If you’ve ever wished your regular bike could handle the school run, grocery trip, or weekend adventure with the kids — without shelling out thousands for a dedicated cargo bike — you might be interested in what CONVOY is doing. CONVOY, developed by Micro Mobility Labs, is “the first family-focused mobility end to end business using bicycles to replace cars.”

The CONVOY e-trailer is a smart, self-powered upgrade that transforms any adult bike into a fully electric cargo bike in seconds — no tools, no hassle, no need to buy a new bike. The trailers will come in two versions, the C.01 e-trailer for pedal bikes, and the C.03 smart trailer for e-bikes.

What Makes CONVOY Different?

Unlike bulky cargo bikes or passive trailers, CONVOY has its own 250W motor, wireless pedal assist, and smart steering system. Once it’s attached using a quick-release clamp on the rear axle, it follows your bike’s every move, even through tight corners, and helps push you forward, so riding feels smooth and natural, even when you’re carrying up to 50 kg (110 lb), which is equivalent to two kids or a full grocery haul. You’re not just pulling dead weight anymore, as you’re actually getting a boost from the trailer you’re hauling, with a range of about 30 km (18.6 miles) per charge.

Key Features

• Attaches in seconds: No tools required. Just clamp it on and go.
• Electric assist: A 370Wh battery and a 250W motor add a boost when you pedal.
• Smart steering: The trailer steers itself, staying directly behind you.
• Safety first: A large rear light, automatic braking, and stability sensors help keep things secure.
• Track it all: Use the companion app to adjust power settings, check your range, lock the trailer, and even see how much CO₂ you’re saving.
• Compact and easy to store: At just 12 kg (26.4 lb), it’s lightweight and fits upright in a hallway or apartment corner.

Designed For Everyday Life

CONVOY was created to make biking a more practical alternative to driving, especially for families and city dwellers. Whether you’re dropping the kids off at school or doing a quick grocery run, CONVOY makes biking feel like a real alternative to the car, yet without the stress or sweat. The team behind CONVOY includes Jonathan O’Toole and Josh Richards, who come from design-forward brands like Dyson and Elvie. Their goal is to replace 1 billion short car trips with something smarter and more sustainable.

Why This Matters

Electric cargo bikes are often bulky, expensive, and out of reach for many people. CONVOY flips that on its head by making any regular bike cargo-capable, instantly and affordably. It lowers the barrier to entry and could help reshape how we think about everyday transportation, especially in crowded, car-heavy cities. For those who want to bike more but need a little extra help hauling the kids or groceries, this might just be the missing piece. Find out more at CONVOY, or get the spec sheet via Eurobike (PDF).
