Yes! We always recommend that all children and adults wear helmets when they ride.

Yes! You can buy a Melia infant seat or Melia toddler seat. These are designed for use in cargo bikes, and they attach directly to the benches. Some customers have bolted car seat bases into the cargo box, but we don’t have an official car seat mounting option at this time. Toddlers 12 months and older can also ride in the Yepp Maxi seat that attaches to the rear rack. Some parents ride with their infants from birth; others wait until six months, ten months, or twelve months. Please consult your pediatrician and your local laws to decide on the appropriate time for your family.

A bunch! The Original comes equipped with two benches and four child seat belts, so four kids can fit inside the box. You can install a Yepp Maxi child seat on the rear cargo rack to add a fifth. The Preschool comes equipped with six child seat belts, so you can transport up to seven children by adding the Yepp Maxi.

Yes! Each bench is secured by a metal latch. To remove, simply undo the latch and slide out the bench panel. Removing the benches creates more space for big grocery runs, Christmas trees, or piano keyboards! (Yes, really.)

Yes… can you say date night?! An adult can ride in the cargo box along with a child or two, as long as the total weight in the cargo box does not exceed 220 pounds. The adult needs to sit on the bench closest to the handlebars for safest weight distribution.

On all of our cargo bikes, the motor is located in the hub of the rear wheel. It is powered by a rechargeable battery pack stored in the rear cargo rack. The motor uses a torque sensor in the pedals to adjust the motor's output based on how hard you are pedaling. You can adjust the level of pedal assistance using the control panel mounted on the handlebars. At the higher levels, the electric motor can make biking uphill feel as easy as biking on level ground. You can also use the included thumb throttle to manually control the motor without pedaling.

It depends on how much power you use from the motor. During normal use, the typical range 20-30 miles on a single charge. If you frequently ride using full power (lots of hills, large heavy loads), you can expect to be on the lower end of that range.

It can take 4-6 hours to fully charge the battery. The battery charger is an AC adapter that looks similar to a laptop charger. The charger shows a red light when charging and a green light when fully charged. The battery is removable, so you can easily bring it indoors to charge; you need a key to remove it, so it cannot be stolen. We recommend charging at home overnight, or at work during the day. You can purchase an extra charger on our Accessories page.
