Is it for you?
We have not ridden this bike. This read is based on the spec sheet and Australian seller information, not a test ride.
Best suited to
Riders who want a do-everything utility bike for commuting, shopping and one child seat, with front suspension and a bigger front wheel.
Standout strength
Bosch CX Smart System (85Nm) and a 545Wh battery on a stable 26/24in utility frame with a 60kg rear rack.
The main compromise
No published weight, and at $7,695 it costs more than the Boost Evo 5.
Consider something else if
You need to carry two kids. The Boost Evo 5 longtail takes two child seats; the 46er takes one.
Check before you buy
Ask Cargocycles for the bike's weight and whether your child seat fits the 46er rack.
