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
Taller riders who want a sporty, upright utility e-bike with big-volume tyres and a 40kg rack.
Standout strength
Bosch mid-drive, Deore 10-speed and 27.5 x 2.4in Schwalbe Super Moto X tyres with a 40kg rack for $4,495 on sale.
The main compromise
25kg, a diamond frame only, and one battery size.
Consider something else if
You want a step-through frame; the eJoy is the same price with a low step.
Check before you buy
Check the frame size for your height (Cargocycles says 5ft 5in to 6ft 5in) and that the sale price still applies.
