What surprises me even more is that there’s no regulation about it,
There is regulation about lights and reflexes, to make bikes visible in traffic. But safety comes mostly from low speed. IDK if they are mandatory for children, but many people use helmets.
They are obviously just as safe as normal bicycles, and way safer than a moped and 1000 times safer than a motorbike.
The risk of a dangerous accident is way higher in a car. 2 bikes bumping into each other or into a pedestrian rarely cause any injury at all.
I have concerns about children in the cargo spot. Are helmets and any kind of safety seats mandatory for children as passengers in this vehicles in Germany?
I am not in Germany, and have no idea about German regulation, I am in Denmark. These bikes are extremely popular in Denmark and Netherlands more so than in Germany.
Your concerns are based on unfamiliarity with the concept. Some of the things you suggest are really really far out and irrelevant in reality.
So this Denmark you mentioned earlier, is that a parallel universe where cargo bikes have airbags and small turning radii? Did you end up here through some kind of rift in space-time, or are you from a completely different dimension, dude?
Funny you never answered what country you are from. I cannot imagine many countries where it’s possible to be this ignorant.
An airbag would be detrimental to safety, so of course they don’t have it, and your question is obviously based on ignorance.
The turning radius is absolutely fine for these bicycles to navigate traffic without issue. way more maneuverable than both cars and motorcycles, no problems whatsoever, your perception of a problem is imaginary, and as I described similar long bicycles have existed at least since 1929. But you somehow think you’re some traffic and bicycle guru that just detected problems nobody was aware of before you noticed them?
You are both arrogant and stupid, using a bike to get your children to kindergarten is just as safe as a car, and not having any emissions is clearly safer, they make our cities safer and the environment of the cities safer.
One more stupid comment and I block you.

Which of them?
For instance turning radius and airbags
And what’s wrong about it? Does that cargo bike have a small turning radius and airbags?
Exactly, you don’t know shit about what you are talking about.
