E-Cargo Classic Long with Bolted Box
This classic full-size electric cargo bike with bolted box is a stylish and reliable workhorse for anyone who wants to bring (a lot) more than a bag, but still wants an effortless ride.
NEW in 2026:
All E-Cargo Bikes come standard with the very strong EP6 motor, including the bigger 504Wh battery.
Main features:
- Full-size, bolted cargo box with one bench and two double seat belts
- Classic & Rugged looks: Black seat, grips and tires en off course the Bolted Box. The battery is mounted vertically against the central steering tube.
- Shimano EP6 electric assist system, with 85Nm(!) output torque
- 504Wh battery
- Pedal assist up to 20 mph (US standard)
- Low maintenance, very practical and great fun!
- Overall length: 8'4", width: 2'1"
The Bolted Box:
The Classic Long with Bolted Box is exactly the same as the standard Classic Long, except for the box. The Bolted Box is made of the same material of the regular box, but it’s dark/black and shipped unassembled, so it fits in the box with the bike. This way we save a considerable part of the shipping costs, making it possible to offer the cargo bike a fair bit cheaper.

After a few months and 500 miles of toting the little one around town I have nothing but positive things to say about this cargo bike. It arrived well-packaged and mostly assembled. It took an afternoon to get everything in its right place and to start pedaling down the road. The bolted box is definitely a bit fiddly to assemble, but to me it was worth the money saved versus the pre-assembled one.
I’m very happy that I upgraded to the Shimano EP6 motor, larger battery, and centralized display. The motor has more than enough torque to handle any of the hills in my area and the battery has plenty of useful range. I’ve found that my setup, loaded with ~50 pounds of cargo and a 200 pound rider, gets about 40 miles of range using mostly eco mode – but I do live in a place with hills that can quickly drain the battery. In practice, this is plenty – even for those with range anxiety.
Extremely well built, beautiful paint job, quality components, excellent customer service. My family loves this bike and we look forward to many more years of happy pedaling!

This is easily on of the best purchases I’ve made in my life.
First, the bike. It’s fantastic! The ride is very smooth and easy, even as I start to load it with the weight of two children and groceries. Maintenance is basically non-existent even after 2000 miles in my first year riding. I brought it to my local bike shop to swap on some studded tires and with those I’ve been able to ride even in Alaskan winter conditions. I’ve become basically the most well known and recognizable father in my small town, immediately identified as that “guy with the cool bike”. Definitely been a good conversation starter at the playground.
There are only a couple complaints I have. Firstly, the documentation with the bike is lacking. There isn’t any paperwork included for how to perform maintenance yourself, and even looking online it can be hard, if not impossible, to find in English. The other issue I’ve had is that the battery range is only just barely enough for my needs, particularly in the winter when the cold takes its toll. If I could do it again, I’d purchase it with a battery expansion.
This review wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t mention the *excellent* customer service I had here. Being in Alaska, shipping is always an extreme challenge. Steven was an absolute delight across over a dozen different emails, answering all my questions for shipping dimensions and weight for our freight forwarder, as well as helping me get the best options for my unique circumstances. A few months later, when I had questions about the bike, Steven was there again promptly to help me.
I love this bike. It’s changed the lives of me and my children for the better.

Absolutely the best purchase of the year for me! It is life changing. Thought about it a very long time but it is so worth it! Financially sustainably and looking at it health wise, it helps improve your quality of life from all angles.
The bike is insanely high quality and everything is made with the rider in mind. This is not your American “commuter” bike, this is your new mode of transportation. Old, young, athletic or not, you will be able to ride this bike and enjoy it all while turning heads not to mention the social-economic benefits that come from riding this bike with a smile.
The whole process of purchasing, receiving and building the bike was very smooth. Steven was amazing and answered any question I had. I do recommend having your local bike shop build it if you are new to biking.
All in all, an amazing bike that I will recommend to everyone. Buy it, you won’t regret it.

We’ve had this beauty a week and it has already changed our lives! It is a splendid addition to our family.
Steven was a wonderful communicator throughout the process- from the second I placed the order, through the production and shipping and after we received the bike.
Assembly was a tad more difficult than I imagined only because some of the instructions were a little unclear (I’m also not the handiest person so this didn’t help). However, I reached out to Steven a number of times for help and he responded in a very timely manner!
We purchased a number of additions to the bike and have been happy with each of them thus far. The folding rain cover is very convenient and fits well in the cargo box. We had a bit of trouble figuring out the assembly of the rain cover but have already made use of it- we live in a very rainy city. The adapter for the car seat was one of the biggest pluses for us as we have an infant. It is easy to use and simple to take out of the box when we need the extra space.
I highly recommend this bike! It is a QUALITY bike and well worth the wait for production.

After covering over 200 miles in less than a month with this bike, we can confirm that the bike is amazing. We use it daily for taking kids to/from daycare and commuting to/from work.
Ordering was easy and Steven was great throughout the process. He even gave us a free rain cover upgrade since we initially ordered a short one (side note: the tall rain cover is definitely a way to go). The communication with Steven was outstanding. Once built, the bike was shipped FedEx and it survived the trip. Steven was emailing frequently to ensure that everything is in order that no damages occurred.
I chose to assemble the bike myself and that part had some issues. The assembly of the bike (seat, front wheel, handlebars) was pretty easy, but the assembly of the box was anything but (we purchased the bolted box vs. pre-assembled one to save some money). The instructions were not super clear (the video does help somewhat) and the description of bolts and their location was actually wrong in the instructions (it seems that they switched to a different type of bolt for the box floor-to-side wall attachment but they did not update the instructions). It ended up being OK (i.e. all the bolts ended up in the right spot), but it was somewhat of a frustrating experience. To his credit, Steven gave me a call from the Netherlands as soon as he received my email in which I complained about the instructions.
Bottom line: this is a quality bike delivered to your door by the company with great customer service. Get the assembly service if you’re not use to dealing with bikes/bike parts.
