Velotric Utility & Cargo Ebike

Electric Cargo Bike

What is an Electric Cargo Bike?

An electric cargo bike represents the perfect fusion of utility and modern transportation technology. Cargo ebikes are engineered to transport significant loads, whether you're carrying precious cargo like children, daily essentials such as groceries, or larger items for work and adventure. With enhanced frames and superior weight capacity, cargo ebikes are revolutionizing how families and individuals approach daily transportation.

How Can Electric Cargo Bikes Benefit?

An amazing range of benefits makes electric cargo bikes unique from conventional bicycles and even basic ebikes. Usually including enlarged cargo capacity through front or rear racks, their strong design enables hauling heavy items simple and enjoyable with the electric help.

With an amazing 440 lbs overall payload capacity and a significant 176 lbs rear cargo capacity, the Velotric Packer 1 exactly embodies these advantages. This amazing carrying capacity, paired with its hydraulic suspension system providing 80mm of travel, guarantees comfortable carriage of everything from adventure equipment to valuable guests.

Family vs. Utility Electric Bikes: What's the Difference?

While the basic structure remains consistent, cargo ebikes serve different purposes based on your needs:

Family-Oriented Features:

• Low step-through frames for easy mounting
• Comfortable seating options for children
• Enhanced safety features
• Stable ride characteristics

Utility-Focused Elements:

• Expanded cargo capacity
• Robust frame construction
• Powerful motor assistance
• Versatile carrying options

The Velotric Packer 1 bridges both categories expertly, powered by the proprietary Velopower H75 Drive System. H75 Drive System delivers rides up to 52 miles on a single charge, with speeds reaching 25 MPH when unlocked, making it perfect for both family adventures and utility purposes.
