models, and a recent article highlights the bikes' key features. Now, electric cargo bikes have been proliferating in the U.S. and Europe, and the HovWagon is exactly that, but one that looks more at home in the urban setting. It's much smaller and more compact than the usual cargo bike, as it rolls on 20-inch wheels. It also has a very accessible step-through frame, making it easy for riders of all sizes and skill levels to swing a leg over and ride.
In terms of specs and performance, the HovWagon and Hovscout share quite a lot in common. For example, they're both Class 2 electric bicycles powered by a 750-watt electric motor. With this setup, the bikes are limited to a top speed of 20 miles per hour, and a pedal assist functionality. The bikes can be unlocked and reclassified as Class 3 machines with a top speed of 28 miles per hour.
Both bikes also feature a frame-integrated 720-watt-hour LG battery pack which Hovsco claims is good for up to 60 miles on a single charge. There's also a seven-speed Shimano drivetrain to help you pedal seamlessly alongside the powerful motor. In terms of pricing and availability, the two e-bikes, despite being similarly spec-ed, serve entirely different riding purposes. The HovWagon, with its 205-kilogram load rating, retails for $1,999 USD.
