Hauls two kids, too heavy to lift

  • What it is: a Class 2 longtail cargo e-bike for two child passengers
  • The trade-off: complete cargo and security kit, but very heavy
  • Look elsewhere for: carrying the bike up stairs or on a car rack

Strengths

  • Fully equipped for family hauling out of the box
  • Stable and planted under a full load
  • GPS tracking and a locking kickstand deter theft
  • Battery lifts out to charge indoors

Drawbacks

  • Far too heavy for car racks or stairs
  • Wide tires feel sluggish unladen
  • One frame size only
