9 Best Electric Cargo Bikes for Families (2025), Tested and Reviewed

This bike comes with a few major caveats. It’s a direct-to-customer bike, and we contracted with a local service to assemble it at my house. However, several parts were missing or unusable, and we had to wait a day for replacements. This is an issue if you’re assembling it yourself. Also, the company claims that the minimum height for it is 5’2″, but I am 5’2″ and can’t fit on it. The seat post tapers, so it can’t be cut. I had to sub my own seat in, so I didn’t get to use the comfy, beautiful saddle with suspension that comes with this bike. I find the laid-back, Harley-style seating difficult to maneuver while riding, which is probably related to the fact that overall, I’m just a little too short to ride this.

However, my family and I really like this sidecar style, and it’s worth including because of that. The sidecar can carry up to 150 pounds, so anyone in my family can ride it, with a special shout-out to my dog, who loves it. I also love that you can quickly detach the sidecar, so it’s versatile and easy to store in my crowded garage. It has everything you need—a 750-watt hub motor with a throttle, a big, easy-to-read color display, and hydraulic disc brakes. If you want to cosplay as Indiana Jones and Dad Jones in The Last Crusade, this is the bike to get.
