  • So I'm now the very happy owner of an Urban Arrow Family, same back end and motor as a Cargo L or XL, but a smaller front end with no front shock. Nearly bought a second hand XL but was always slightly unsure about the weight and turning circle, so this machine is a great compromise.

    Thank you @MCamb and peeps on this thread for the advice on this purchase. Next step is to switch out the bars for something flat for a position I'm more used to. The sweep on these makes it almost impossible to pedal out of the saddle.

    Also need to sort out the HORRENDOUSLY squeally brakes, a perennial problem with discs. They function fine but jesus what a noise.

    The box designed for carrying small people might actually fit my toolbox with the seats removed so could leave it on there.


  • Amazing!

    Dont do this, just erase the cyclist in you when you ride this.

    pretty much all my disc brake bikes bar road bike make noise, who cares. Cars are noisier and cuntier.

    Don’t heed this haha, get the bars you want :)

    Also I hate the adjustable stem that comes with them

    Sadly I can;t erase the trapped nerve in my back, which makes riding seated all the time difficult. Helping heal the sciatica with relaxed position and e-assist was a big reason for the purchase.
