It turns out that electric cargo bikes can also make a great hearse, enabling the deceased to get from service to cemetery as low-carbon as possible.

Electric cargo bikes and trikes and quadricycles are being put to a wide variety of uses, from hauling materials to passengers to tools to packages, but what if your passenger is, say, dead?

In Kassel, Germany, home to the Brothers Grimm, an undertaker has started using an electric 4-wheeled cargo bike with a custom box on the back to transport the deceased on shorter routes, according to. Jürgen Dahlfeld, also a carpenter and casket-maker, gave up his private car about 9 years ago, and said, “Since then, we have been able to go about our everyday lives without a problem without a car,” except for using a car-sharing service a few times a month when one is needed.
