Cargo ebikes are often pitched as a great alternative to the family car, but if you're serious about hauling gear you'll likely need a front-loader. Urban Arrow's Family models already roll with Bosch power, but now a Smart System option has been added.

Cargo ebikes are often pitched as family car alternatives, but limited range can be tiresome. If you'd rather be riding than charging, Engwe has launched a fat-tire model that could provide motor assist for more than 200 miles before needing a top up.

Cargo ebikes are being touted as smaller, cheaper replacements for cars, and Xtracycle's Hopper is no exception. The California-based company states that the vehicle is "designed to be the most intuitive, easy to ride, compact family cargo bicycle."

Budget ebike brand Heybike is looking to tap into the growing car-replacement cargo bike space with the Hauler, a longtail model with a payload capacity of 440 lb, 1,400 watts of motor power on call and a dual-battery range of 85 miles.

Looking like a cross between a pedaled dump truck and modern motor carriage, the new Intelectra is a muscular e-cargo mover for cities. It carries just under 1,000 lb of payload and operates via a low-maintenance electronic pedaling system.

World Bicycle Relief has declared its Buffalo Bicycle the strongest available for rural terrain, and it hasn't taken the redesign lightly. With the Buffalo S2, it's reworked the basic chain, gears and pedals into a unicorn: a two-chain drivetrain.

Cargo ebikes can be a great alternative to the family car when hauling groceries or doing the school run. But they can be a bit wobbly at slow speeds. Startup Tarran is aiming for improved stability with auto-deploying landing gear.

Cargo ebike pioneer Tern has launched a new family friendly model called the Quick Haul Long, which takes much from the company's premium GSD hauler, but serves it up in a more affordable package.

Two years after entering the utility ebike space with the T1 Cargo, Fiido has added a longtail model to its gear-hauling family. The T2 ships with a 68-mile UL-certified battery, front squish and chunky fat tires, and offers pedal-assist up to 28 mph.

Following the launch of two Globe Haul cargo ebikes last year, Specialized is now going premium with a family-focused Porto long-tail model designed for hauling gear, passengers or "whatever else you can think of."

Combining aspects of a mountain bike, trekking bike and cargo bike, Tern has designed an all-weather, all-terrain pedal-assist gear hauler called the Orox that taps into Bosch power and is dual-battery ready for extended trips into the wild.

Amsterdam's Tenways has joined the cargo ebike market with a front loader dubbed the Cargo One, which features a Bafang mid-drive motor and 90-km battery, and comes with seating for two kids in the cargo box plus included rain covers.
