A large cargo bike, either electric or pedal powered, often seen on the school run in West London transporting children.
Originally coined during the 2020 pandemic in Chiswick, London when cars were restricted, particularly around schools, and new cycle lanes put in.
It has since been popularised and refers to any cargo bike ridden in an urban area.
Named in reference to the Chelsea Tractor as it has a similar type of well heeled owner and is seen as a status symbol and environmental statement by some.
