Urban Arrow (Netherlands) - Press Release: With its Dutch heritage, Urban Arrow is definitely no stranger to weeks in which the weather gods seem to take a special kind of joy in stringing together those rainy days. An increasing number of people, however, are adopting the Urban Arrow Family as their primary mode of sustainable transport. With those people moving through their local environment on a cargo bike year ‘round, the need for a Raincover to shelter their precious cargo becomes almost self-evident. Taking into account market demands Urban Arrow evolved its already successful accessory as follows:

Height:

The front of the unit allows for a significant amount of clearance for those riding on the optional extra bench in the front. If your little ones are too young to sit on the bench by themselves, no worries. The Raincover PLUS offers a generous amount of room for mounting a Maxi-Cosi seat in the front instead. That way you can even bring your youngest on all your trips.

Transparency:

After the eye-catching height adjustment, the second thing you will notice is the transparency of the new Raincover PLUS. The side and front windows are significantly larger and the added window on top allows for a much-improved view of whatever is going on inside the box as well as on what’s on the road ahead of you.

Easily accessible doors:

Both sides of the Raincover PLUS can be unzipped, rolled up and intuitively secured in place with a simple, yet elegant system of elastic bands and hooks. On the not so sunny and often windy days this system makes it easy to keep the doors open and load and unload your cargo. A reflective strip wraps around both sides and the front of the unit to provide increased visibility during darker days and nights.

Integrated storage:

We all know traveling with kids can be a handful. The Raincover PLUS has two integrated pockets facing the rider. These enable you to store the traveling essentials for your family within arms’ reach and focus on enjoying the ride.

Availability:

The aptly named Raincover PLUS will be available to order in Europe starting this July. It comes at a recommended retail price of €319 including VAT. This is the recommended retail price in the local currencies of Sweden SEK 3.590; Denmark DKK 2.490; Great Britain GBP 279 and Switzerland CHF 299. The release of the Raincover PLUS in territories outside of Europe will follow at a date yet to be determined.
