‘PODBIKE, MEET DIN 79010’ - GERMANY’S STRICT SAFETY STANDARDS 
Germany’s rules for bike design and safety are the gold standard across Europe.
The Podbike FRIKAR is so unique, it’s not clear which category of bike design we belong in.
We have chosen to abide by Germany’s rules for cargo bikes, because the Podbike can carry two people: one big, one small, or one rider and cargo in the rear. That’s a heavy load, and the bike must be strong enough to handle it.
For example, the FRIKAR should be able to roll off a curb onto the road without any fear of damaging the bike. These simple drops from curb to road-surface happen all the time on a bike, so we needed to test what kind of effect this constant bumping would have over time.
