Who it is for

The Bergamont E-Cargoville LJ Expert is for riders who carry different things on different days: crates, shopping, tools or, with the Kids box, children. The long john frame has a low platform between the wheels that takes Bergamont's load units in different lengths, from an open platform to a closed box. The bike is rated for 220 kg in total.

Riding and everyday use

The Bosch Cargo Line motor with 85 Nm pulls strongly from a standstill, and the 625 Wh battery gives around 50 km with a load. The stepless hub shifts at a standstill and needs little care. Magura CMe5 four-piston brakes stop reliably, while the reinforced rigid fork keeps steering precise but passes on more bumps than a suspended bike. The bike is light for a long john, which helps when manoeuvring by hand.

Before you buy

Check which load unit is included with your offer and what it is rated for; the Kids version adds an EPP box with a two-seat bench and rain cover. Plan a ground-level parking spot for a long john of this size.
