cargo bike.
Your street pays.

Because cargo bikes are a street-level product, not a fleet product. A scooter works fine parked anonymously on a corner — a €9.000 cargo bike does not. It needs a face, a story, and someone the neighbors trust. Cargoroo tried the pure-fleet model and the bikes that performed best were always the ones where one local person quietly looked after them, told neighbors about them, and made the street feel ownership. So instead of pretending we can replicate that from an office, we hand the keys (and the upside) to that person. You.

It's profitable because of you, not despite you. A Warrior unlocks roughly 3–4× the rides of an unattended bike on the same street, because neighbors actually hear about it, try it, and come back. Cargoroo's 40% of a busy bike is worth far more than 100% of a quiet one. They'd rather split a big pie than own a small one.

€300/month covers the bike, insurance, maintenance, parts, battery swaps and the app — everything. The average Warrior earns around €640/month in ride share, so net you're roughly €0 cost with ~€340 in your pocket. Quiet month: you might be slightly out of pocket. Busy month: it's a real side income.

On your own street, in front of your house. We work with the city to lock in that exact spot as an official cargo-bike parking space. We already have the permit in Den Haag, and as we expand to new cities we just notify the municipality of each new location for approval — usually a formality. You don't deal with paperwork; we do.

Good problem. Two answers: (1) You always have priority — block out your school run, weekend, evenings, whatever you want, forever. Neighbors only book what's left. (2) If demand is genuinely high, we bring in a second bike on the same street. Many warriors actually start with two bikes from day one so they can keep one mostly for themselves and leave the other open to the street. If another neighbor wants to become a warrior too, great — more bikes, more income, more momentum.

It happens. The €300 is fixed; ride income isn't. That's why we only accept warriors on streets where the math works, and cap to one warrior per street so you're never competing with the bike around the corner.

Covered by insurance. The bike is GPS-tracked, locked to a fixed point, and if it's ever stolen or vandalised it's on us — not your wallet. You're never liable for a €9.000 hole.

Cargoroo handles everything — service, parts, insurance, battery swaps. Normal wear is on us. Damage caused by a renter is covered by our insurance, not your wallet.

Yes — and we recommend it. Child seat adapters, rain canopies, extra bench cushions, you name it. Adds €20/month (so €320 total), but families are the highest-frequency riders by far. Most warriors who add the child-seat pack see ride volume jump 30-50% because suddenly every parent on the street is a potential customer. Easily pays for itself.

No — and that's deliberate. Your neighbors wouldn't be comfortable with a private person seeing their movements, and frankly it's not your business who borrowed bread at 4pm. What you DO get: full ride data (how many rides, when, how long, revenue per ride) live in the app. That's everything you need to know your bike is working for you.

Every quarter, straight to your bank. We have all the ride and revenue data and rebate your share automatically — no invoicing, no chasing. You see every booking live in the app as it happens.

Yes. Your Cargoroo earnings are added to your existing tax return once a year — no accountant, no ZZP registration, no extra admin. Cargoroo sends you a yearly overview with the exact figures. You fill in one extra field in your annual aangifte. That's it.

How much tax? Roughly 37–49% depending on your total income. So if you earn €340/month from your bike, expect to keep around €200 after tax. Still well in profit.

If you earn less than €1.800/year from the bike (€150/month), it may be fully tax-free under Dutch rules for casual income. We'll flag this in your yearly overview.

Right now: 3 months notice and you're out — no €9.000 sunk cost, no lock-in. This is a launch-phase offer. As the program matures, we'll move to a standard 2-3 year contract (the same model as our partner operators), so locking in now means locking in the easy terms. Even on a longer contract later, if you genuinely need out we'll help: either we move the bike to the next warrior on the waiting list for your street, or you can hand it over to a neighbor who wants to take the role on. The bike doesn't move — the warrior does.
