Cargo / Family e-bikes
Our cargo / family reviews, ranked by the Genius Score.
Cyrusher Glider
A big-battery fat-tire cargo bike that can stand in for a second car, with a throttle for the loaded starts and hills.
Genius 79 / 100Aventon Abound SR
The Abound SR pairs a big 733Wh battery with a low, load-friendly deck, so it can run a week of family errands and still have miles left.
Genius 77 / 100Velotric Go 1
A well-equipped family hauler with a big load limit, four-piston brakes, and a throttle, priced well below what its capability would suggest.
Genius 74 / 100Rad Power RadRunner Electric Cargo Utility Bike
Rad Power's RadRunner keeps the price low and the payload high, with a throttle that makes loaded starts easy, as long as you don't need big miles or steep climbs.
Genius 74 / 100Rad Power RadWagon Electric Cargo Bike
Rad Power's cargo workhorse swaps short car trips for bike trips, and it undercuts most family haulers on price without cutting the payload.
Genius 73 / 100Aventon Abound LR
Aventon's Abound LR pairs a big 733Wh battery with a 440-pound total load limit, so it can do real family hauling without begging for a charger by lunch.
Genius 66 / 100Rad Power RadRunner Max Electric Cargo Utility Bike
A genuinely strong cargo hauler with a 750W motor, a throttle, and a switchable class setting, priced right in the middle of the pack.
Genius 66 / 100Rad Power RadRunner Plus Electric Cargo Utility Bike
The RadRunner Plus is a compact, throttle-equipped hauler with room for a passenger and a load on a frame short enough to park just about anywhere.
Genius 66 / 100Velotric Packer 1
A $2,199 cargo bike with a throttle, a big battery, and enough carrying capacity to leave the car in the driveway for daily errands.
Genius 65 / 100Denago Cargo 1
A capable, fairly priced cargo hauler with a strong 750W motor and an expandable battery, held back mainly by a modest payload and a basic 7-speed drivetrain.
Genius 61 / 100Rad Power RadWagon 5 Electric Cargo Bike
A powerful, well-sorted family hauler with plenty of range, priced a little above the rivals that carry just as much.
