Is it for you?
Best suited to
Older riders and people with stiff hips, knees or reduced balance who still ride two wheels but need a very low step and a low seat to put both feet down.
Standout strength
A 22cm boarding height and a long, low frame make getting on and off easier than on almost any other two-wheel e-bike, with a claimed 43 to 132km range.
The main compromise
At $9,995 it costs far more than mainstream step-through e-bikes, and Cargocycles does not list the gears or brakes.
Check before you buy
Choose between the three frame heights at a fitting, and ask the dealer to confirm the gear and brake spec.
