Hey Chris -- what do you think about the RadWagon?

love them all. yup for different needs.

I'm gathering info in hopes of building a cargo bike. This video was great to see the variety of designs and inspire lots of good takeaways, so thank you once again, Chris. That slack seat tube allowing feet(or foot) down while in the seat seems like a kind of critical differentiator. Will it require out of seat stomping on the pedals of my homebuilt e-cargo to climb category 3 hills with a load, or at least an extreme granny gear??? I like the idea of a cargo bike that when unloaded could actually still be used on transit (bus rack, train), and there are weight, size, and design limits for transit use.

excellent video ! very professional observation of the different morphology of cargo bikes ! Here in France, we are very late for this discipline... thermal engine cars are always the law, bikers always stigmatized as ecological persons...

Thank you, great information here. I've recently been beginning to think about the possibility of moving my garden maintenance business from an estate car (station wagon) burning petrol to an e cargo bike or maybe e bike plus trai!er. I guess my question would be: Is a bike and trailer set up maybe the way to go if you need different levels of load carrying capabi!ity from day to day. Some days I would need minimal hand tools others I would need the whole collection eg. Mower, trimmer, hedge slippers plus support tools/spares AND hand tools. These bikes look great if I needed the same capacity every day, but maybe overki!l if I need less capacity (or just want to scoot for a sandwich atlunchtime

Hi, great video! What do you thing of the Omnium Cargo for messanger services?

Since many Riese & Muller bikes has the front rack as an option or it comes as standard, could you Chris do a video about how take advantage of it? For example what bags would be good for it? I have ordered a Multicharger which does have the front rack as standard but i'm strugling to find any good tips how to use it or what cargo bags would fit it.

I have a TERN GSD and recently also bought a R & M Charger. I would recommend both.

I'm curious, can you speak to the CVT transmissions, how are they on hills? One reason I'm considering an e-assist bike is I can't ride anywhere from my home without traveling up 6-9% grades. Will the CVT and electric power handle that adequately? In general, I'm probably riding less than 20 mile long trips usually, but it could be a longer ride easily. Thanks for your comment!

What about the Yuba Spicy Curry? It has a Bosch Cargo motor and is almost exactly like Xtracycle eSwoop you mention in the video. Maybe because this video is 2 years old and Yuba has made recent changes?

Between the Benno boost e and the riese muller multicharger what model would you recommand ?

Thanks for another great video, Chris. I live in Devon in the UK and have just bought a Riese and Muller Multicharger with the Enviolo hub and Gates Carbon Drive. Where I live is really hilly - lots of short 300 to 600 ft climbs, many of them at a sustained 1 in 5 gradient (20%) and some as steep as 1 in 3 (33%). Having been unable to test the bike on such steep hills before purchase, I was a little nervous about how it deal with them. I'm pleased to say it does manage the 1 in 5 gradients without excess effort, although the really steep bits do require quite a strong rider and I suspect I might want to avoid those bits when I'm carrying a full load. I love the transmission on this bike. Very easy to use and intuitive. Great that you can adjust the ratio regardless of whether you are under load, freewheeling or stationary. It's really useful at the point when a hill just starts to ease off - the point where, with derailleur gears, you have to temporarily take the strain off to change up and then struggle to regain momentum. Just thought this comment might help anyone living in a hillier region who isn't sure whether the Enviolo would be suitable for them.

Is there a cargo (smaller) ebike that is more 'mountain' orientated? Not looking to put kids in but get up some serious hills safely but maybe also take it to beach with surfboard etc (let alone sometimes just urban commute/fitness)? (Australia)

The Bullitt is an amazing bike. well balanced, fast, lightweight, and really good carrying load capacity. I choose not to buy the E version, and instead installed a Bafang 750 watt mid drive motor. I have tried the E version and its awesome. I have the mid drive motor along with the Fallbrook continuously variable rear hub. That combination works really well, especially with the hills of Oakland and San Francisco. My kid love it also. holla back if you want some pics or if you have any other questions. Blue Heron Bikes here in Berkeley sells it, along with both R&M cargo bike, the Urban Arrow, and Yuba. The top front loading cargo bikes they sell are the R&M cargo bikes and the Bullitt.

Hi Chris, it'd be awesome if you could feature some exotic bikes like foldable tandem e-bikes, and electric tandem bikes for families.

Great feedback! Let me see what I can come up with. We don’t have many of these here in the states, but I’ll keep my eye out. I’d love to see a practical solar solution for ebikes, most of them aren’t efficient enough to charge your battery though.

I ride a Bike Friday Haul A Day and its my favorite cargo bike out of the three I have owned. I just put an e-assist system on it, but even before that its the best. I had an Xtracycle with Bionix kit (5,000 miles on it) and Surely Big Dummy with same (put 5,000 on that too). The Xtracycle was great for really loading it up, but the length and overall size were drawbacks. Really firm frame, but wouldn't fit in the elevator at work. The Big Dummy was a nice riding bike with no load, but once loaded, say with a 120 pound passenger, it was difficult to keep straight. The frame was too flexible. The BF is light and easy to maneuver. With a heavy load it is not wippy or flexible and feels very stable. Will fit on a standard bus bike rack too by turning the front wheel backwards.Without a load it rides very nice too and doesn't feel bulky at all.

It’s a nice bike. I have little experience with it since it’s brand new. I did get to check it out at Eurobike last year and the concept seems great. It’s a new company though so it’s tough to say how the final execution will go. I’m betting the new Riese & Müller Packster 70 is going to be a strong competitor though. Being that R&M has been this thing a lot longer I would prefer to put my money there.

I looked at a Tern because it could take an adult passenger on the back, so you don’t necessarily need children to justify owning one. I actually ended up with a Raleigh ebike because of not only the cost, but weight and the step through frame. I couldn’t justify the extra expense as I have rarely wanted to give someone a lift and I prefer to have support from a local cycle shop rather than have to get to London.

Issues that I have: 1. Some are too wide. They are nearly as wide as a small car. Somewhat defeats the purpose of bike. 2. Practically all are too expensive. I could get a decent used care for less than $5000. 3. I am not sure a two wheeler would be stable enough on icy roads. 4. Bikes tend to be easy to steal. Two guys could pick one up and put it in the back of a pickup truck. See # 2 above. 5. If the battery on one of the ebikes ran down, it would difficult to peddle.

My dream the Urban Arrow but this price is not accessible! But is amazing product ❤️

I hope you are someday able to get your dream bike. Many people replace their cars with these bikes. Not sure if you own a car, but maybe that is a consideration.

It be nice if u can combine a fat bike style for off road cargo for hunting,camping and survival with a fast and long range motor with solar charger

Sounds cool! We seem to have a way to go with the solar charging at the moment though. Maybe we will get there soon though.

The Velove Armadillo is pretty awesome, but we’re working on getting the 4 wheeled bikes accepted as bikes in the US

Propel Electric Bikes , yes , have been in touch with the company . US restrictions on 4 wheel , power assisted bikes is the issue here with 350 watts max on 2 and 3 wheels . It seems 4 wheels on the ground completely flummoxed "them" ! What can I do to help in getting the 4 wheeler accepted ? Thanks again .

@@marksommers6764 I think we will eventually. It just takes talking with the right people. DHL is using their bike so they should help to get things moving.

The belt system is a much better system last longer and more efficient and cheaper than changing a series of cassette, metal chains, and crank sets that are all very expensive and time consuming...

If you use the bike a lot this is certainly the case although there is a slight bit of efficiency lost in the belt compared to the chain.

Is the compartment the kids are in tested for crash worthiness Are they in any kind of child seat?

If you could list/show the price for each bike please? Some of us (most really) consider price to be a major factor in purchasing. If I want to figure out what I want/need I have to look up everything in the video and tab back and forth... Just tell us how much they cost PLEASE! In the links in the description of the video, just add an MSRP after each bike.

Hi, what do you think of the Sortimo Pro Cargo CT1? I am interested in transporting Tools and Materials not children.

Looks pretty cool! I hope we see more similar options here in the US.

I wish there was a cargo style tadpole trike, (long tail type). As long as I'm wishing add in a good bit of solar power in a canopy above the rider.

Edward Villarreal maybe you can add a Xtracycle Leap to a cargo trike. You might also want to check out the Kiffy.

Depending on your wife’s weight I would look at the Benno Boost, Riese & Müller Multicharger or the Xtracycle eStoker or eSwoop.

And how exactly do we get these pricey things to where we are going. Do I rent a tow truck or does it come with one?
