Cargo E-Bike
500W–750W motor · 48V 20Ah · 100–150 kg rear payload · 50–90 km range
Replace the Van for the Last Mile
The cargo e-bike platform is designed for operators who need to move goods — not just people — through dense urban environments. With a step-through low-deck frame, integrated rear platform rated to 150 kg, and the option of a Bafang mid-drive motor for steep gradients under load, this platform competes directly with small commercial vehicles on cost per delivery. More than 5,000 units are in service across European last-mile fleets, food delivery cooperatives, and municipal service departments.

Fleet-Ready Compliance
Every cargo e-bike ships with a full EU compliance dossier. The frame and cargo platform pass EN 15194 structural testing at 1.5× rated payload. Battery systems are UN 38.3 certified for multimodal freight, and our ISO 9001 facility is audited annually.

Frequently Asked Questions
The MOQ is 50 units per model configuration with a 25–35 day standard lead time from order confirmation. Custom cargo box tooling — including powder-coated aluminum, marine plywood, or branded PVC boxes — adds approximately 10 days to the first production run with a modest one-time tooling setup fee. Mixed-configuration orders combining standard and custom cargo boxes within a single purchase order are supported. Container consolidation for orders under 50 units is available at a 5% premium.
The dual-battery configuration pairs two 48V 20Ah packs with an automatic load-balancing controller, effectively doubling total capacity to 1,920 Wh. A single 20Ah pack delivers 50–90 km under loaded cargo conditions; the dual setup extends this to 100–170 km, enough to cover a full 8-hour driver shift without mid-route charging. The controller draws from both packs simultaneously to reduce per-cell current stress, which extends overall battery cycle life by approximately 15–20% compared to single-pack operation.
The rear cargo platform is rated at 100–150 kg with integrated aluminum construction and mounting points for multiple configurations: a lockable cargo box (up to 500 liters internal volume with shelving), a flat rack with tie-down rails for parcel delivery, child seat brackets (Thule-compatible), or a front bucket seat. The front basket adds an additional 25 kg capacity for smaller items. For operators requiring higher payload, the platform can be reinforced with a steel subframe at no cost to the payload rating.

Ordering This Model
- Packaging & Container Load — Each cargo e-bike is packed in a heavy-duty 7-layer export carton (178 x 40 x 82 cm) with reinforced corner protectors and custom-cut high-density foam blocks. Due to the long-tail frame geometry, cargo e-bikes occupy approximately 1.5x the shipping volume of a standard e-bike. A 20GP container accommodates approximately 80 assembled units or 110 SKD units. A 40HQ fits up to 190 assembled or 260 SKD units. The front wheel, pedals, and handlebar are removed and packed separately for container optimization. Cargo boxes ship flat-packed inside the same carton to minimize volumetric charges.
- Payment Terms — Standard terms are T/T 30% deposit with order, 70% against scanned B/L copy before shipment. For fleet orders exceeding $50,000, we accept irrevocable L/C at sight with 60-day validity. Sample orders are payable 100% in advance via T/T or Alibaba Trade Assurance. Net 30 terms are available for established buyers with a minimum 12-month purchase history.
- Sample Policy — A single cargo e-bike sample is available at 1.2x the FOB unit price plus sea freight (approximately $380–520 to Europe or North America via LCL, 25–35 days) or air freight (approximately $480–650 via air cargo, 7–10 business days). The sample cost is fully credited against the first bulk order of 50 units or more. Custom cargo box samples require a $350 tooling and artwork setup fee, credited on the first production order exceeding 100 units.
- Warranty & After-Sales — Standard warranty: 24 months on the frame and cargo platform structure, 18 months on the motor and controller, and 12 months or 1,000 charge cycles on the battery. Fleet operators receive priority warranty processing within 3 business days. Every container shipment includes a complimentary spare parts kit at 1.5% of order value: brake pads, inner tubes, a replacement charger, derailleur hanger, and cargo box mounting hardware. Extended warranty packages covering 36 months are available at $35–55 per unit.
