Cargoroo Electric Longtail Cargo Bike

Victoria is an increasingly bike friendly city and more people, just like you, are looking for options to get their family out of the car and out into nature. Our Cargoroo electric cargo bike is the perfect family e-cargo bike. After testing the market, lots of research and hands on experience we designed the Cargoroo as the ultimate cargo bike. Combining the best elements from some other e-cargo bikes and adding our own. One of the key and defining features of the Cargoroo is that it comes fully loaded with all the accessories you need to go biking with your kids. The price you see is actually the price you pay.

The Making of the Cargoroo

When we developed the Cargoroo we looked at what was available on the market, and what the best features for families were and combined them into the ultimate electric cargo bike. A big factor was price, it had to not only be great value, but also affordable. Because we found there were very few good options that weren’t $6,000 plus dollars and you still needed to buy accessories!

Safety at the Forefront

As we know from caravan ads the most important features are what keep your family safe. The biggest of which is simply the design of the bike and the frame. There are two main features of the overall design and frame that were imperative, the smaller rear wheel for a lower center of gravity and the step through design. It’s just basic physics. Traveling with a load closer to the ground then higher up is more stable, especially when that load is unpredictable children! Additionally it’s common knowledge that most kids don’t like being kicked in the face, and that it’s also more difficult to get on and off a heavily loaded bike, hence the easy, low step through. It’s actually the lowest step through of any longtail e-cargo bike we researched!

Another aspect of good safety, especially when biking with your children is confident braking power. So the obvious answer was a good quality hydraulic brake to offer worry and hassle free stopping power. Additionally, visibility is an important safety consideration, so we equipped the Cargoroo with big, bright integrated lights and a bright blue paint job to help you stand out.

Top Level Performance

Now that we had a solid, safe base for our Cargoroo, it was in need of some electrification. And it wasn’t too difficult to figure out what needed to be done. One feature we knew it would have from the start was dual batteries, and the reason was twofold. Firstly to give users excellent range and secondly so when they really needed to tap into the power and get around on the hills that they wouldn’t run out of power. And of course what’s an e-bike without a motor? It had to be a 500W so it would have the power to drive the bike uphill, even fully loaded, but what type of motor? We went with a rear hub geared drive motor, a hub motor to maintain a lower price point but also because they offer more assistance and allow for a throttle, and a geared drive to keep the weight down and for better torque on hills.

The competition is quick to over estimate the range of their similar style e-bikes. Often estimating 40km to 70km and more for a 14Ah battery! Based on their calculations the possible range of our dual 14.5Ah batteries would be 85km to 150km. But we understand that these fairy tale ideals and real life don’t exactly line up and that the actual range most of our customers get is lower then the fairy tale. Which is why we advertise a real life range of 60km to 100km or more per charge, because we believe in honesty and transparency with our customers.

A Comfortable All Day Ride

The Cargoroo also had to be comfortable enough for long hauls, dropping the kids off at school and then riding to work, grocery runs and after school activities, the list goes on. So we stepped a bit outside the mold of solid front forks and added a Suntour HCT suspension fork, with lockout in case you prefer a harder ride. And nice wide 2.4″ tires front and rear, both for a softer ride and better stability. Finally with a plush, comfortable saddle and an easy upright riding position, you’ll be able to spend longer in the saddle then ever before.

Fantastic Car Replacement

I have owned my Cargoroo for almost a year now, riding through all kinds of weather and different trail systems. I can honestly say this is the best purchase I've made for my family. What drew me to the Cargoroo was the fact that the price was all-inclusive. Affordability was very important to me in making the transition from car to e-bike - Ride the Glide really delivered in that aspect, The bike itself is extremely comfortable, powerful when it needs to be, and has an eye-catching design and color, making it a great conversation piece while waiting at the J street bridge lights! I had one hundred questions during the buying process and Alicia was always available to explain things to me, a novice biker, in a way I could understand. I use my Cargoroo for transporting my child to school, for groceries, and for commuting to work. My car now only gets used for trips up island, saving us buckets. The batteries are durable and last a long time. Charging them is quick and easy with the AC chargers. The display is easy to read and lets you know when it's time to charge them up, and RTG services everything right in their shop. My child enjoys being on the bike and chats happily while we go on on adventures up the Goose, E&N, or Dallas Rd. I highly recommend this bike to everyone who stops me to chat, and to you, the reader. It's worth every penny!

This is a different and improved model of the one I bought from them a few years ago. The improved step through and extra hand guard rail in the cargo area look ideal for kids. Oh, and two batteries? Mine only has one and I can do a 40k round trip on half a battery. I’d love two! These all seem like great improvements from the model I bought, and I love mine!
My kids still love riding in it to school at 6 and 8 and with a few heavy duty elastic ties I can hang the kids and my backpacks from the rails. I’ve hung cloth grocery bags off the side and found a cooler that fits where my kids sit so I can do some decent grocery shops or just use it as a trunk. This is the minivan of ebikes and like the description says, the most affordable by a couple thousand, at least when I researched mine a couple years back. These are quality people who work hard to make sure you’re still happy with your bike years down the road. They can even cheaply repair your batteries now!
I rated 4 stars only because this isn’t the exact model I bought, but my personal experience has been a certain 5 stars.
