sponsorAdvertise on my cargo bike.
A cargo bike is slow, wide and hard to ignore, with a box or bed that is almost made for a logo. Pin the box sides, the rain cover and the frame, and let neighbourhood businesses ask for the most noticed bike on the block.

How to monetize your cargo bike
- List it. Upload a photo of your cargo bike, mark each spot and pick how you bill: per week, month, event or post. We set the price from reach, market and demand.
- Get requests. Brands find it in Browse and message you. Accept or decline.
- Get paid. The brand pays when you accept. You are paid after you post proof that the logo is up.
- Or run an auction. Share a link and let brands bid. Start a cargo bike auction.
Get paid to put ads on your cargo bike
Post dated photos of each panel, with one shot of the bike parked at a school, market or shop you visit often.
Tips
- If you carry children, keep sponsors family friendly and never show the kids in proof photos.
- Wooden boxes take vinyl poorly. Use a printed panel you can attach with straps.
- School gate and market day stops are the selling points, so name them.
Questions
Can I sell ads on a bike I use for my own business?
Yes, but pick sponsors that do not compete with what you sell.
Is a rain canopy a good spot?
Yes when it rains a lot where you live, but it is only up part of the time, so price it a bit lower.
Should kids appear in photos for the sponsor?
No. Show the bike and the logo only. Keep children out of any proof.
How do brands find my cargo bike?
List it once. Brands browse spots by type, city and price and message you through SponsorMySpot. Your email stays private.
Who sets the price?
Our pricing engine, like a ride app. It prices each spot from what it is, how many people see it and the market you are in, and the price rises when brands are asking for that kind of spot near you. Owners pick how they bill: per week, month, event or post.
When do I get paid?
The brand pays when you accept their request. You are paid after you post proof that the logo is up. Payouts go to your bank through Stripe. The fee is 8 percent.
Can brands bid against each other instead?
Yes. Run an auction: each spot opens at your start price and any brand can take it by paying double. Cards are held, not charged, until bidding closes.
