As cities grapple with traffic congestion and pollution, electric cargo bikes are entering the scene as a green alternative. One brand hoping to steer the change is the UK’s Estarli, with its newly unveiled Longtail e-cargo bike.
The bike also has provisions for a dual-battery setup
Unlike traditional e-bikes, the Longtail isn’t just about personal transportation. It aims to be a “do-it-all” machine, pushing the boundaries of what a cargo bike can achieve. Powered by a Bafang M400 mid-motor and an Enviolo gear system, the Longtail delivers an impressive 80 Newton-meters of torque, making it both powerful and efficient. It comes with a Gates Carbon Drive belt, a feature often seen in higher-end models, which ensures a smooth transmission of power to the rear wheel.
But what sets the Longtail apart is its focus on adaptability. The bike has a robust load capacity of 220 kilograms, including the rider. This makes it a viable option for small businesses, looking to deliver goods in a more sustainable way. During its initial launch, Estarli is even offering a “Family Pack” of accessories, indicating a clear intent to appeal to family-oriented consumers as well.
The bike is also future-proof. It comes with a 700-watt-hour battery and has provisions for a dual-battery setup. Imagine cruising around town for extended periods without worrying about battery life; that’s the promise the Longtail is looking to fulfill.
Moreover, the Longtail offers built-in lighting and a Suntour XCT fork for a comfortable ride, enhancing its utility as a dependable, everyday vehicle. It’s not just a bike; it’s a lifestyle change. By offering a product that combines performance, adaptability, and sustainability, Estarli is not just entering the e-cargo market; it’s making a statement about what the future of urban transportation should look like.
Estarli’s Longtail invites us to rethink how we move, shop, and even live, proving that sometimes, two wheels are indeed better than four.
