VANCOUVER, SEPTEMBER 9th, 2023
Join the excitement surrounding North America’s expanding cargo bike and e-cargo bike movements at the North American Cargo Bike Conference in Vancouver on September 9th. The conference takes place from 10 am to 5 pm at the Vancouver Convention Centre, West Building as part of the Fully Charged Live Event ( “The World’s #1. Home Energy and EV Vehicle Show”), September 8th to the 10th, in the same location.
Whether you are already an enthusiastic cargo bike user - for personal commuting, ferrying your children throughout the community, running errands, and for commercial deliveries & small business transport - or simply curious about the joys and benefits of these awesome green vehicles, the North American Cargo Bike Conference is where it’s at! There are several panels, workshops and test-riding events throughout the day. Register now to experience all the resources and expert interaction on offer.
Zygg Ebikes’ President & CEO Kevin McLaughlin will take part in the Operators Panel addressing the "State of Cargo Bikes & Cycle Logistics Operations: Opportunities & Challenges". Zygg has two models of e-cargo bikes in their fleet: the German made Cube Cargo Sport Hybrid 500, presently available for purchase or rent to own; and the super-versatile Yuba Fastrack, a popular choice for monthly, seasonal or annual subscription options in Toronto and Vancouver. The Model Y Yuba will be on hand for test-rides at The NACargoFest! Seek us out and say “hello”.

Panel moderator Sam S. Starr, North America's Top Sustainable Freight & Cycle Logistics Expert, is also on the Board of Directors of Our Greenway Conservancy, host of the Cargo Bike Conference.
Our Greenway is based out of York University’s City Institute and is a research, test-bed and advocacy group aimed at creating a 40+ km roadside and ravine linear park network across Toronto’s suburban northwest. Stated to be “the first of its kind in the world”, ‘Mobility Greenway’ will support a range of personal and commercial mobility devices whereby people of all ages and abilities will be able to travel across the northwest quickly in comfort.’ The Our Greenway Project is led by urban planner and sustainable mobility advocate Darnel Harris.
