E-bike startup TARRAN launches its flagship intelligent e-cargo bike, TARRAN T1 Pro, at Eurobike 2024. T1 Pro features proprietary Dynamic Dualdrive landing gears, which automatically deploy and retract at low speeds to maintain balance, reducing the risk of tipping over. It’s designed to provide ample comfort for families with 2–3 children, with its compact 2.26 metre length ensuring agile manoeuvrability.

The touchscreen with Tarran OS manages lights, navigation, and locking, making cycling convenient. Equipped with radar and cameras, it continuously monitors its surroundings to provide real-time alerts for safer rides. With Bluetooth speakers, wireless charging, and various accessories, the T1 Pro expands the horizons of urban mobility to broader lifestyle settings.

No more worries about tipping over with proprietary landing gears

Traditional cargo bikes are unstable at low speeds and prone to tipping. Tarran T1 Pro solves this with its proprietary Dynamic Dualdrive landing gears, which automatically deploy when braking to a low speed and retract when riding is stable.

Each landing gear is controlled by a separate motor and features suspension, allowing adaptive support on uneven surfaces. These wheels can be manually lowered for easier pushing and act as an e-kickstand when locked in position, offering balance support when waiting for a red light or parking, and making it easier to park when loaded.

Remain seated and control everything

T1 Pro features a 5.2-inch retina touchscreen with TARRAN OS, TARRAN App and handlebar buttons, giving you easy access to all you need for a seamless and safe ride.

With the convenience of an app or NFC key, you can lock and unlock without the hassle of traditional locks. The screen clearly displays the remaining mileage, riding data, and other essential parameters. Handlebar buttons give direct control over the smart lighting system, landing gear, and even a selfie camera, consolidating functions into one integrated setup. Vibration alerts and real-time footage from the rear camera keep you informed about road conditions, enhancing safety. Phone mirroring allows you to navigate, switch songs, and take calls seamlessly while on the go.

With the TARRAN App, theft prevention is also smarter. Sentry mode activates after power shutdown, detecting anomalies via a 6-axis gyroscope, issuing alerts, and recording live video. The GPS module allows users to view bike locations and to activate speakers for precise locating.

Go further with all you need and all you love

With a 220kg maximum total weight capacity, T1 Pro can comfortably accommodate two children under 1.26 metres in the cargo box, or 3 Euroboxes, while the intelligent spacing compresses overall length to 2260mm, making it rather compact and manoeuvrable in its class. It comes standard with a 5-point safety harness child seat. With a rear MIK rack, you can install a seat for one extra taller kid or more cargo.

Thanks to the dual-battery design, with each one having a capacity of 708 Wh, it offers a range of up to 200 km. Batteries are concealed at the bottom of the cargo box, aiding in theft prevention while also preventing exposure to ageing.

Comfortable experience for both riders and passengers

With its flagship configuration and intelligent system, T1 Pro delivers a comfortable manoeuvring and riding experience for both cyclists and passengers at low maintenance costs.

T1 Pro features full suspension with 50mm and 60mm travel, respectively, and 180 hydraulic disc brakes offer powerful braking even in challenging conditions. Gates Carbon Drive CDX and Enviolo Heavy Duty hub enhance durability while reducing the need for frequent cleaning and lubrication. The dual-cable steering system allows a maximum steering angle of 90°, providing greater flexibility for navigating narrow alleys and changing lanes.

The intelligence and performance of an e-bike depend largely on its motor, which acts as the system’s brain, however, using common motors is easier but limits customization. The self-developed motor collects information from sensors, performs high-speed computations, and outputs signals for smoother riding assistance and to support intelligent functions like the landing gear. It also offers 100Nm industry-leading torque, providing exceptional support for uphill climbs and carrying heavy loads.

Your safety system thinks for you, even before you do

If hardware sets the safety floor, intelligent systems raise the ceiling. Rear camera and radar constantly monitor approaching vehicles, alerts with handlebar vibration, and video stream. Front-facing 180° camera allows advanced visibility of road conditions even when the rider’s view is blocked. Smart lighting system offers high- and low-beam front lights, turning lights, and automatic braking lights. Timely alerts enhance the sense of control, also significantly increasing safety in complex road conditions and nighttime riding.

One-click, snapshot, and your family camp on the go

Tarran believes cargo bikes offer more than just eco-friendly transport—they create connections between riders and nature. The audiovisual system of T1 Pro strives to enhance entertainment experiences and expand scene versatility.

Press and hold the handlebar button. The built-in headphone 1080P camera can take selfies of riders and passengers, capturing fleeting happy memories. With a standard 1/4-inch screw mount for third-party cameras, you can also bring your favourite gear and control directly from the handlebar. T1 offers 2 built-in Bluetooth speakers, a Qi2.0 wireless charging panel, and 2 USB outputs to keep your phone and other electronics powered up on the go.

Built for a future you’ll love

T1 Pro uses recyclable, child-friendly EPP cargo box material, environmentally friendly water-based paint, and some recycled aluminium parts. From the beginning, TARRAN partners with a top consulting firm to conduct GDPR compliance self-audits, ensuring that respect for privacy is embedded in all smart features.

TARRAN collaborates with KISKA, a renowned European brand and design agency, for industrial design. Building upon a refined mechanical structure, we created a unique one-piece main frame. The intelligent lighting system, along with multiple sensors, is seamlessly integrated into the frame, resulting in a clean and flowing design language that lends an ultra-modern industrial aesthetic, ensuring high overall recognizability.
