The T1 Pro from Chinese manufacturer Tarran is a chunky bike with a lot of technology inside. The e-cargo bike has three cameras, a radar and automatic training wheels on board, among other things. It goes on sale in October.
At 2.26 meters long, the T1 Pro offers enough space for one adult and two children – either two small ones in the front of the box or two slightly larger ones distributed between the box and a rear seat. The e-cargo bike has a strikingly designed frame with a continuous element at seat height that forms the edge of the charging box and the rear seat. The 1.5 kWh battery, which should provide a range of up to 100 kilometers on a single charge, is located in an encapsulated compartment underneath the cargo area. There it is protected against theft and lowers the center of gravity.
Two automatically controlled support wheels are located to the right and left of the battery. According to the manufacturer, they move in and out automatically with AI support when the bike thinks it needs more stability. This can be particularly useful when stopping. After all, the total weight of the Tarran T1 Pro is 220 kilograms, which you have to be able to balance.
Three cameras for an all-round view
The manufacturer has installed three cameras. The front one is designed to keep an eye on the road, even if the load is blocking the view. The rear camera, together with a radar, serves as a warning system for faster road users; warnings are issued via vibration on the handlebars and a video stream on the display. In Sentry Mode, the middle camera monitors the cargo bike when it is parked and is designed to deter thieves. Tarran also advertises this function with AI features.

At the front, a wide light strip with integrated indicators illuminates the road, with two further lights underneath. The mid-motor of the Tarran T1 Pro achieves 100 Newton meters of torque. Gears are shifted using the Enviolo hub gear system, with a Gates belt transmitting the power instead of a chain. Two disc brakes are designed to bring the fat bike to a halt. The integrated smartphone holder charges the phone wirelessly via Qi, and there is also a USB output to supply other devices with power.
The company has not yet revealed how much the Tarran T1 Pro will cost. However, the e-cargo bike should be available to buy in Germany this fall.
