Cargo Bikes

Looks like a pretty nice electric car.. No pedals though, so hardly a cargo bike

I wanted an urban arrow, but piut off by unavailability, lead time and price. Considering a bullitt which are much cheaper. I rode Urban Arrows for Pedal Me last summer and they are great. Can anyone advise in what ways will the Bullitt be inferior? Probably carrying up to 60kg tools max.

Think it’s just down to load capacity. And that can be pros or cons depending on where you want to store it.

Would it be an ebullit you’re looking at? Cos comparisons in price aren’t really like for like unless it is!

Is the model I linked to, at £1740, an ebike? Not exactly sure from the description, but it comes up first in the list when you click type menu=>"electric"

No, you click on extra options to make it an ebike, £4662 to have shimano steps + Alfine 8

£4662 to have shimano steps + Alfine 8

Ah, so that's the only option that makes it an ebike. Thanks for clarifying.

.

Do you want a UA / bullit style cargo or would a long tail do the job?

Don’t know if this link will work for you or not

Ooh thanks.

I think however, what I really want is a front loader. I've spent many sad commutes with the back of the tourer piled with tools, fishtailing through traffic and destroying my rear wheel.

The stability, along with the protection of front suspension, of the urban arrow was a revelation.

Think theres any point looking at these or does cheap = shit?

Looks a lot like a bakfiets model, so while it's probably not shit it will not be the most agile out there.

90kg wow

90kg (without battery!) is insane

Yeah the big Urban arrows I was riding last year were 50kg ish. This thing is going to be a fucking lump. I either need to stump up the cash for a decent ebike or go acoustic.

If your transporting stuff not humans then you won't go far wrong with a bullitt. Flexible cargo space, high max load, nice to ride around on.

If you're only carrying 60kg of tools, rather than anything particularly heavy or bulky maybe a Bullitt is a better bet anyway? Urban Arrows are great but they're pretty cumbersome, probably overkill for what you're looking to use it for. The Bullitt rides a lot more like a normal bike in my experience.

90+kg for the bike, with additional load, won't be much fun if/when the battery runs out.

I was also planning on partly moving house on it in October, and delivering artwork to exhibitions, which can get pretty bulky. Need to look ay my big tool box and the size / lenght
of the load areas.

Ugly but slighly more affordable than UA

They're quite nice to ride.

90 kayjees is a shit load! That surely can't be right, is it a typo?

Do you need assist or could you get away with analogue / Rule 5 power? The cost of that bike puts you well into perfect condition secondhand Bullitt territory, which I think will be a more versatile bike and will have better resale value. You won't lose anything with a Bullitt. Weight with a couple of accessories like custom baseboard or partial box will be closer to 30kg too.
