Fahrbike’s UrbanCarry line of cargo e-bikes look to be a great option for those looking for some affordable wheels that can carry both you and your gear, whether that’s children or the groceries or a workbag or three. Fahrbike has several UrbanCarry bikes to choose from — the Mini, the Pro, and the Mega — and has them all priced well under $2000.
Electric cargo and utility bikes are currently having a moment, and we’re seeing a lot more cargo-type e-bikes hitting the market these days, which is great for the consumer.
The Fahrbike UrbanCarry Mini is the smallest of the bunch, with a compact frame not much longer than a non-cargo bike, a 500W rear hub motor and a 48V 15Ah battery. That combination promises a range of about 40 miles per charge, with a top assisted speed of 28mph.
