€6,000 😂

How did I miss the English version of your awesome channel?!

Wie würdest Du zwischen dem Cube und dem Btwin r500e V2 entscheiden?? Wieder sehr informatives Video, schaue mir gerade eins nach dem anderem an, da ich vor der Entscheidung stehe, welches Longteil zu leasen.. Besten Dank!

How was the length of the rear area, our boys need some knee room!

You are, without a doubt, the best cargo bike channel I know of. Your insights are much appreciated!

Love the locking feature on the kick stand. I think these guys nailed it.

I have a Tern HSD (gen I) that had speed wobble problems. Turned out that the culprit was the headset that was just a tinny bit loose. My mechanic noticed that and tightened it, and it never came back again.

I didn't know that velo de ville had all those options and as nice of a configurator to show them off. I think I will have a look at their website just to play around with that.

This is awesome. Thanks for the in-detail video. Do you know if it's possible to add a Maxi-Cosi adapter?

Almost exactly what I'm looking for, except if i did pay this for a bike i would need to hire private security when i leave it out of my sight in public 😂

Those are probably the best bike turn signals I've seen so far. Too bad they're 200 Euros! The bike is crazy expensive, too.

Thanks for this short but on point review. Very interesting details of the e-shifting issues…looking forward to hear about a solution for that. I guess the Rohloff hub has its internal planetary changing point only between 7th and 8th gear, right?

I love the craftsmanship of this. And the signal lights are really great. Are those lights third party? Can you just buy the lights? Found it: Busch + Müller TURNTEC. Doesn’t look available in US.

I love the bike. It's simple, practical and gorgeous. But the prices!!!! That's why we need the equivalent of a Volkswagen or Toyota (or BYD if you are ok with a Chinese ride) 0in e-bikes to churn out millions of these in various models and variations at half the price and sell multiple times more with a solid backup in accessible repairable and replaceable parts and components. This is basically a small garage manufacturer having to charge ridiculous prices just to make a decent income for a small number of staff plus an overall company profit. Even companies like R&M and Cube are still relatively small businesses. I paid €3.5k last year for an all round workhorse Cube e-bike so I've got skin in the game. And that's at the cheaper end of the European manufacturer market. I also bought a second hand car the previous year for the same price which should be good for10k km per year for several more years at least. Somebody somewhere really needs to do a Henry Ford and rationalise mass manufacturing, quality and reasonable pricing. We are being screwed. That bike is lovely but it's an expensive artisan product with an overpriced Bosch motor.

Ace!

Is it possible to take out the battery and charge it separately?

This is a really great looking offering. I like how you show the interesting features. Excellent review. How do you think this stacks up to the Super Mighty?

The kickstand is a shame. After riding a cargo bike for a while I’ve come to realize how important a good kickstand is.

Gonna try it tomorrow with my cube longtail - Édit: works well on the Bosch cargo line too!

Honest review

This looks like a very nice bike!!!

The suspension and the ability to extend and adjust angle of the hitch sell it for me. But the price will be the barrier for most people. Even those with disposable income will pause at an expenditure of 1000.00 for a "bike accessory". Even if you are committed to bike as primary mode of transportation. That being said, it is flawless in the execution of utility design. Only the addition of fenders could make it improved in my opinion.

My R &M Carrie would benefit from this.

Seems like a nice feature but the max force you’re going to get is 85Nm, right? I always just stand on the pedals in a situation like this, which is probably 100Nm or more. So isn’t it just easier to stand on the pedals instead of messing with button holds and screen messages?

Great video. Can a carseat for the baby fit in the box?

I realised I missed some vital information: The bike weighs about 60kg in this specification and has a maximum total weight of 220kg. This is all pretty much standard. Price wise it starts from ~5.200€ and my review sample costs just shy of 8.000€. Again, not cheap, but also not excessively expensive.

Is it enough you ponder? If you mentioned the price, I missed it. I'm guessing with this, Bergemont are aiming to give an essential functional cargo bike that will do everything you want but at a cheaper price than an R&M or an Urban Arrow? R&M are ridiculously overpriced for what you get anyway. This is fine if it is actually cheaper and you are getting value for your money. Everything that's missing in reality costs relatively little to have been already pre fitted by the manufacturer. It looks great. What is the bikes total weight and what is it's total weight carrying capacity excluding the bikes own weight?

Carrie taking notes from Muli, which is not a bad thing. Long John designs aren't just fun to ride and more practical at hauling stuff when you hadn't planned for it, they're also a rolling advertisement that "THIS IS A UTILITY BIKE, AND PEOPLE CAN USE BIKES FOR THEIR TRANSPORTATION." If a Long John is the Sport Utility Vehicle of bikes, then the compact Long John is the hatchback or station wagon. I hope it proves to be a successful model.

The bike looks heavy, but the website plays a trick and only discloses the weight of the rear portion (~31 kg/68 lbs. in heaviest version). They don't disclose the weight of the front portion, or even show the front wheel :) It looks like they're trying to keep the price down by using a rigid front fork, relying on the balloon tires. Handy owners might upgrade this part themselves with a Suntour Mobie A32 later. They were impossible to source during COVID, but now they're available and even discounted. I suppose the geometry/frame pitch may change ever so slightly as the suspension fork needs room to compress As always Tilman, thank you for the comprehensive coverage of cargo bikes and for doing it now in English language. I must admit, trying to read English translation of your German content wasn't as pleasant of an experience. Thanks to you and Leah for the great work you do, showing there is a massive world of choice out there for people to choose the bike and leave the car.

Nice! Thank you for the great video!

A great design.

Felt like a comprehensive review, balancing fulsome praise with a smaller list of candid dislikes. Really helpful.

Danke an dieser Stelle nochmal für euer Review unseres Ca Go CS Lastenrads. 🙌🏼

Super review!

I have Cube Longtail Hybrid 725, enviolo/belt version, ordered online from NL. My location is Belgium, for every maintenance or service I need to go to Rotterdam with the bike, nobody from local stores/services will touch the bike. I waited 7 months for a new rim and fenders to be delivered by Cube in order to rebuild rear wheel. So right now I will sell the bike with more than 60% loss and I will buy another one locally so I can use local service...

At €1200 it is perhaps better to put that towards a 2-wheeled cargo bike.

I don’t think it would last long. Being all the spring cation and plastic ball hitch. Being the thing is light aluminum and plastic. How long would it last. And most places where I live do not let you conceal any item you not paid for yet. No bag is allowed in store to pack as you go. It’s called concealing the goods.

Great rreview

Great Review, Some great insights to the practicalities of real world use of the bike. I have the honour of selling R&M bikes to customers and have really enjoyed riding the Vario version. I love how nimble it is and how comfortable the ride is in the city. I see that having the bike for a longer period of time helps to learn the in and outs. Not having children myself, your review helps me consider the logistics of carrying children and the accessories involved better. Again Thank you for sharing some great info that I can share, and for pointing out things I had not considered or had not noticed. The steering to the left being one of them. cheers!

It's great to see how cargo bikes are evolving into real utility vehicles. Especially for people like plumbers or electricians to be able to move with their tools anywhere in a city center. And for traveling with camping gear, although I would prefer bigger wheels for off road traveling. But for sure an interesting bike.

I bought a thule kid's trailer on craigslist for fifty bucks and removed the top.

A very cool looking and interesting trailer. In particular the suspension wheel system, and the carrying capacity too. However, in my opinion there's one important function missing: the ability to fit a hydraulic brake system connected to the bike's rear wheel brake. Consider towing an (up to) 89 kg trailer (80+9 kg trailer weight) and braking that plus bike and rider on two wheels only. For added safety I miss someone inventing an easy-fit trailer brake system that easily couples to the bikes hydraulic brake system and operates from the bike's rear brake lever.

You had me at those capabilities, especially at 80kg total weight limit until the price. Now I'm happy with what I bought and might review it soon.

Very cool. Would love one of those for camping with my Packster.
