looks like you can carry one heck of a load with this. wonder how it handles.


The bikes vary from brand to brand. I got to test ride an "Urban Arrow" once.

I thought it actually felt a bit twitchy. I'm not quite sure why. But, it felt like I was constantly over-correcting.

One thing I wondered is if it was due to handlebars being much wider than I was used to.

Otherwise it rode nice. The version I had was electric. And, for my cadence, I think I was pretty much maxing out the gearing when running it at the lowest possible power setting (mostly empty).

It lists the bike weight at about 51 kilos, and a max weight of 275 kilos. That should give one a cargo capacity of 200 to 300 lbs, I think.

Some of the smaller cheaper bikes have abysmal cargo ratings.
