Kat! You got there before us!!! We'll be putting these as chapter sections into the video, so thank you for pointing that out! We hope you enjoyed the video.
6:30 is where the video starts about cargo bikes. Before that it is mopeds.
Great Informative Video. You are the only channel that has been open and upfront about the Packster 70 recall. Much bigger Channels like Propel are being deceptively quiet about this.
14:13 This was an unexpected gem. Cant wait for a R&M Tinker Long-Tail Cargo variant !!
Great powerful video. Enjoyed watching.
Terrific insights, thanks for the overview
Lovely commentary! So informative
No worries! It's what we're here for!
Amazing video, thanks so much for all this information.
Do you know when you will be coming out with your Multicharger in-depth review?
And also when will you be coming out with the video on the new R&M long tail cargo bike?
Thanks so much!
Hi Josh thanks for reaching out. We're in the process of speaking to our first Mulitcharger 750 rider to see if he'd like to do a review with us! If he is up to it then we can review it in the coming month for you!
The new R&M long tail cargo bike..... what bike....... (shhh!!!).
That review will most likely take place in the summer.
Riese & Müller is king - i`m going to give myself a Load 75 Vario for my birthday in march 👍👍😍
I've tested it for a week and yes it is an amazing bicycle. A real car replacement but quite expensive too.
Would love the review of the new Bosch smart system on your upcoming Multicharger in-depth review! Thanks 👍
On it!
What else would you like to see in this review? Do let us know and we can put it all in there! Thank you
@Fully Charged Electric Bikes We wanted the Batavus Fier 2 which is the stride 2 but delivery date was April 2023. We did look at the UA but after considering we went for the Carqon which has a very handy door so children don't have to climb in/out. We have it for 3 weeks now and it is quite the bike. It shows much bulkier than the UA and Fier/stride 2 and a R&M. I recently saw a Lovens cargo bicycle on the road here and I didn't knew that brand. Turns out it is from the same company that also has urban Arrow in their brand portfolio. Looks really decent for the price point with cable steer etc. Did you get a look at it already? Would love to see a good review of it. We do fight over the cargo bike right now because it is just so great. I might want another one because it really is a car replacement.
WHOOPEE
The Raleigh seems identical to the Batavus Fier.
We went for the Cube Cargo, It seems to have the handling and specs of the RM Load, a UA-esque bucket, and a Raleigh price. Too bad it is not in this selection.
You might also could take a look ate the Lovens cargo bike. Looks very good
Great to see the Raleigh and Urban Arrow side by side - haven't seen many reviews of the Raleigh Stride 2 (which over here in the Netherlands is called 'Batavus Fier 2'). The Raleigh seems really well priced: an Urban Arrow with the Cargo Line motor is 600 pounds more and then you still need to upgrade the battery from 400Wh to 500Wh to get to the level of the Raleigh. What justifies the higher price for the Urban Arrow? Is it just the brand, the looks or is it really a better bike (if so, what makes it better)? Why would you recommend anyone to pick the Urban Arrow over the Raleigh?
Hi Roel thanks for reaching out! It's a good question and one that both Ben and Richard do go over in the video quite well. If you have a look at our Raleigh Stride 2 review you will hear what Ben has to say about its cons. You can find that video here: ruclips.net/video/Z_5WjOpUCUE/видео.html
The Urban Arrow Family does have a better build quality, can take more load in its front box with the box itself being deeper, has a lower centre of gravity and in doing so makes handling the bike easier when you have your kids in the front. There is also exposed wiring in the bottom bracket of the Raleigh Stride 2. Overall, the Raleigh is a fantastic entry level option, and will get you and your family from A-B in urbanised environments. However, Urban Arrow only produce cargo bikes, it is their speciality, so you will find a better build quality and perhaps far less maintenance.
Think you'd be more generous about the Raleigh if it was branded as Batavus. It's exactly the same bike as a Batavus Fier 2. It's a superb bike for the money.
Yeah it is! We tested a bunch of cargo bikes and the Fier 2 was really good, delivery date of 2023 was not great :/ So we opted for the Carqon classic. Looks huge and Godzilla like but also very nice to ride.
If Butchers & Bicycles removed their box and put in something like Livelo's box/bag I would immediately buy one even though I think it has a low max load.
Interesting to hear this, Bosis. Not being biased but we're a big fan of the Butchers front boxed, but of course that's our opinion!
@@FullychargedUK Well, you are after all the ones that have been riding it and the experts on it. I like the waterproof box of Livelo that you can use as a child seat. I do not like their rain cover. And I love the wheel axles with tilt in the B&B. I just think a box looks heavy. I do know they have other boxes as well.
I just wish more of these bikes were suitable for smaller riders. The Tern GSD is really the only one on this list.
Yes, the Tern GSD is currently a bike that can fit someone down to 4"11. However, the Lundi 20 can take someone down to 5". There may also be a new product coming out from another manufacturer in around September that can accommodate smaller riders. Feel free to come and see us at London Bridge or one of our other partner stores to try out the Lundi 20!
@@FullychargedUK I find the statements about height to be a bit of an exaggeration, or maybe I just have proportionally very short legs. 😅
@@betsysmith9176 hahah well you know where we are if you need us.
@@betsysmith9176 def go try a few out, tbh GSD isnt a bad only option I have one (5 ft 2) and I love it! Def heard of tiny riders on the Load tho, im sure the lady from New Wheel cycles in San Fran is 4ft 11 and she rides one, also I follow a 5ft lady on intsgram with an urban arrow!
Ben, Richard when do you think Riese&Muller will update the Load60/75 with an integrated battery? Probably you don't know it yet, but what your intuition tells you... 🔮
I would guess not till mid-late 2022. So far the only bike we can order with that system is the Multicharger 750.
Hi Inaki, good to know Richard has commented below to you. It's an interesting one because the Packster 70 could come with two integrated 625Wh PowerTube batteries. Perhaps this is something they are looking to achieve with the Load going forward, although that would be masterful engineering considering the load's very low front box and its dynamism as a bike.
Looks like the Benno Boost is the only long tail bike with a conventional headset? Reason I ask is I'd like to carry 2 bigger kids on the back and add Bobike front facing seat mounted on headset for the smallest kid. Don't see the configuration from anyone. Why? safety concerns?
Which cargo bike has the longest real world range in all electric mode for those of us with injuries to the knees? I need a hill climbing monster that can still get me 40+ km to a charge. I love to ride bicycles but simply am unable to pedal them without a great deal of pain.
Thank you for getting in touch, Kasey and for your message. Out of these options, the Load 75, The Urban Arrow Family and the Tern GSD R14 come with DualBattery configuration options, which gives you up to 1000Wh of range.... which is more than enough for a 40+km charge. We would highly recommend staying on a Bosch Cargo Line motor, which these three come with, as they have 400% pedal assistance and 85Nm of torque, which is what you need. Where are you based? If you're in the UK you're more than welcome to visit one of our stores and we'll make sure we have some demo's provided for you.
Get a good hydrolic adjustable seat and a more curve urban shaped handle bar. A high position while you have to tiptoe will hurt your meniscus. And don't forget to push the pedals with the back of your feet (i barely pedal with my heels).
Ca Go FS 200...the best!
I have a longtail and a front loader and I can't get my 6 year old daughter on the longtail. She loves the front loader and insists we take it for all trips.
What longtail do you have? A Tern?
@@FullychargedUK Rad Wagon 4.
@@drew031127 Good to know, Rad Wagon have been great in transcending the industry. We would highly recommend Tern or Benno as the best in rear-loading cargo bikes. Always here for a test-ride if you are in the UK, across any of our stores.
Why have you not got the Larryvsharry Bullitt bike in your range?
Thank you for reaching out. We have had our Technical Support team and our Head of Business Sales trial the Bullitt, but it didn't quite meet the standards that we look for when taking on an eCargo bike. That's not to say that it isn't a good option for that price point... it's just that we really do educate people on the importance of buying Bosch due to the reliability of their eBike systems, especially under frequent load.
Are these bikes available in the US?
Yes! We can ship over to the US for you.
Delightful

Ah thanks for your message, Lars! If you have any questions let us know!
Wondering if they can do the bike to work scheme - will pop you a call
Yes of course we can. You can find more about our cycle-to-work schemes here: www.fullycharged.com/our-services/cycle-to-work-scheme
How does a long tail take kids AND shopping?
There are many large pannier bag options. Also front luggage racks can be added.
We've just shifted from a longtail with Surly cargo bags to a Load75 and its pretty mixed whether we have more cargo space with the Load. I could fit a huge amount in the surly bags and have our daughter on top, still have space behind her and on the front rack. I do need to start using the rack on the Load more, which I wasnt expecting, but the child takes a lot of the space in a bakfiet. We've got the cargo tray, but then you're largely stacking stuff up around your child. So its not as black and white as one being able to carry more. Basically I think I could carry more large things on the longtail, with the Load we can carry more stuff - specially cloths, jackets etc that we just burry her under :)
@@deanadam1955 Thanks for that!
Stack m. Shopping goes very well on top of kids, but be aware of chocolate, it might dissapear. You will have the law of preservation of mass though. Chocolate inside or outside the kid does not change the load.
Disappointed you don’t show the babboe Curve E , it’s a excellent addition to the fold and comes at a much more affordable price
Thank you for getting in touch. It's actually with good reason that we don't have the Babboe Curve E. We of course, understand that it is a good option at a very good price point for families and guardians. However, this video is dedicated to the very best electric cargo bikes, which we do reserve for any product that comes with the Bosch system. Unfortunately it does mean that it is at a higher price point than other entry level options, but over our years of service, and in using other systems, we know that the reliability from Bosch is second-to-none. Hope you are well and great to hear you're making the school run more fun with a cargo bike!
Hey guys
Both of your jeans are very beautiful.... Hahaha 😁
Do these Work IN USA?
That they do!
@@FullychargedUK Not Ask Yet trying to find Cargo Bike that can hold 500 pounds or more in Truck Format & is can do Trailor as well. Been searching for 2 years now. Yuba Series is cosest yet Emotor is Not worth price.
Opinion on Bullitt?
Thank you for reaching out. We have had our Technical Support team and our Head of Business trial the Bullitt, but it didn't quite meet the standards that we look for when taking on an eCargo bike. That's not to say that it isn't a good option for that price point... it's just that we really do educate people on the importance of buying Bosch due to the reliability of their eBike systems, especially under load.
@@FullychargedUK Thanks for the answer. I did not initially understand you were a dealer. Still a great rundown. So you don't sell or recommend the Shimano system?
@@FullychargedUK Part of the reason I ask is that I have a push Bullitt and cargobikes where I live are so rare its hard to see one in person. Beyond the price point, the lack of dealers such as yourself is the major barrier. Many of the companies are direct to consumer or have few showrooms, and I struggle to think how the cargo bike is going to spread, although in the US radpower has sold tons. But when we can't see the bikes in person or try them it is hard for people to understand differences in quality and price. Do you think cargo bikes can be sold by more traditional bike shops or does it require a buisness with your expertise?
@@andarenbici it's a very good question. What we'd firstly say regarding your geographical position is that we're still very much in the early stages of the electric cargo bike becoming a part of mainstream cycling culture... but this is rapidly changing, and so we do expect there to be a lot more accessibility for those who haven't tried an eCargo soon. We would recommend taking to a specialist, before a traditional bike shop. That's not to say traditional bike shops won't, in the future, have some degree of understanding about cargo bikes, but specialists offer a complete service package, and in doing so have more knowledge surrounding the product. Hope that helps!
Not very comfortable but high perf. low center of gravity, stable. I really hate the wide handle bar tho. It's great for cycle friendly cities.
wike salamander not reviewed. it even turn to shopping cart.
Hugh Grant selling bikes now ?
Ben will be rather flattered when we tell him this.. we'll pass it on!
So, at 0:25. He totally burped, right?
Hahah we don't think so actually, perhaps just an in-hale of breath!
@@FullychargedUK I probably should have not posted that, ha. I was pretty tired…
@@FirstnameLastname-bp5cm no worries!
anything below 4,000 lol
Awkward
lol get a haircut
the reason you stock these bikes is because they use BOSCH motors/batteries? What a stupid reason. there are a lot of good ebike motor manufacturers besides bosch. and the other ones have better value.
Hi Khan, thanks for getting in touch. In our seven years of providing electric cargo bike solutions to the UK market, we have explored a number of different eBike systems, from numerous brands. eBikes are complex individuals, and especially eCargo bikes considering the load they can take. Anything that limits the potential issues you may have down the line (system failures, lack of build quality, warranty) is of real importance. That is why we have decided to become Bosch exclusive with our mid-drive motors. Of course, we appreciate they are the most expensive options, but they are by far the most reliable - and a reliable product that consistently works and doesn't emit problems is of paramount importance for our families and businesses. We have learnt the hard way over the years with other eBike systems and disgruntled customers! Hope that helps.
@@FullychargedUK Thanks for answering this because I think this also answers my question about the Babboe Carve Mountain
