Beverwijk, 9 February 2026,
Following a successful market introduction, the Lovens Explorer 2 has now been awarded the title ‘Cargobike of the Year’ at the RAI Fiets Awards 2026. The award is regarded as one of the most prestigious distinctions within the cycling industry and is granted by an independent, brand-neutral expert jury. According to the jury, the Explorer 2 fully deserves to be described as a “finished product”: “Wherever you look, every detail has been carefully considered.” The premium colour combinations, redesigned cockpit, lighting and control elements combine aesthetics with functionality.
The cargobike also stands out in terms of comfort and safety. Passengers benefit from integrated headrests and can optionally enjoy heated seats, while the ABS braking system ensures maximum control in all conditions. The innovative mono-casted frame delivers clean design lines and forms the foundation for a stable and confidence-inspiring riding experience for the whole family. Additional points were awarded for the strong focus on theft prevention, including the integrated battery lock.
The Explorer 2 is also receiving international acclaim. In Germany, the Explorer 2 S100 Auto ABS was awarded a 1.4 (“Sehr gut”) rating by leading magazine radfahren.de, with praise for its agility, motor performance, ABS brakes and mono-casted frame.
Lovens is a premium cargobike brand with a clear vision: to contribute to a world in which people choose the bicycle more often and the car less. According to Lovens, the route to achieving this lies in developing bikes that match – and where possible surpass – the car in terms of comfort, design and safety. The Explorer 2 is compelling proof of this ambition and offers families the best possible riding experience.
