I Tested The Boujiest Cargo Bike You Can Buy

Hey Seth, I live in a City in northern Germany where I see a lot of these kinds of bikes (in that price range). Riese & Müller Load4, Urban Arrow, CaGo etc. Most of these bikes in Germany (and many other parts of europe) aren’t outright bought but leased through the employer, giving you a small reduction on your wage but in the end the bike costs 30% less and you get a lot of tax incentives as well, because it is kind of like a company car but without the associated costs.

We have a disabled child that’s nine years old and this would be an amazing bike. There’s definitely a used case for this for us. We have a Burley trailer, but she is outgrown it so this would be a great idea.

We need to see this traverse berm peak

I would love to see a cargo bikepacking trip!

I bought a bullitt bike for the shop run and nursery trip. Best thing I've bought. Ever.

hello seth great video.

" so German " says to me high quality and well engineered .

It's not so much that it's built for a bike infrastructure that doesn't exist yet as that it's a design that gained popularity in a place whose bike infrastructure is a model the rest of the world should be following. This style cargo bike is very popular in the Netherlands, which has about the best bike infrastructure in the world as far as I'm aware. It's great that this style of cargo bike is making its way into the rest of the world. Now if only we could get our local governments to follow suit and build up infrastructure as well.

Right now, you can find the Cago FS200 for about $7500 in Germany at one my local stores. In Germany, electric bikes are limited to 25 km/h without a special driver's license.

Now ride it back up the driveway. Do it!

Thank you seth you gave me a new healthy hobby. I watch all of your videos many times and i like every single one. Thank you brother ill buy merch with my next pay check for your efforts

I want one! In the next video I hope you’ll test if the electric motor and the gearbox are good enough to push back all that gravel, or if that bike can replace your pickup truck for a month. Unfortunately, these kind of bikes will never be popular in a typical USA city, the infra is just too car centric.

Having a name that forces you to become Australian for 2 seconds every time you say it is diabolical

Here in the Netherlands this type of bike is really common and there are many bike producers that have a variant of this model. Especially in big cities like Amsterdam and Rotterdam there are a lot of families that own one of those, next to a regular vehicle, because in the city centers the parking space availability is low and the prices to park your vehicle are really high. The prices of this types of bikes vary from €4000 to about €9000 but if you get one without the electrical assist there are pretty decent brands that offer them from around €1200.

From an engineering standpoint, it's incredible. It's awesome that it exists, but I'll never understand why.

i think its a good idea to try and have a bike packing trip with that thing, i can see its appeal to those who like bike camping stuff if its really capable of doing so.

I'd so love to see you on a camping adventure on this bike!

It seems very similar to the top tier (€4000-6000) electric cargo bikes (bakfietsen) that you see everywhere here in the Netherlands. Urban Arrow, Cube Cargo Hybrid, Gazelle Makki Load, etc

living in Europe I see bikes like this all the time. Every time I go to Munich I see plenty of cargo bikes like this. If I lived in the city and not the country side I would have this as the second car for the family. Right now where I live it’s more practical to have a ebike each for my wife and I along with a kid trailer we can use in either bike. If I didn’t have to carry the bikes on the car regularly a cargo bike like this would be more efficient.

The geometry of this seems so similar to the Yuba Supercargo. I use my Yuba to haul around my toddler twins. I’m about to go on an internet deep dive to see if they sell that box separate and if the specs match the Yuba. It’s pretty freaking nice!!!
