Expert overview
AllCargo editorial team ·
Written by the AllCargo editorial team from manufacturer specifications and owner feedback. We did not test-ride this bike. How we review →
Who it is for
The Carqon Cruise E2 is for families who want a roomy, safe box and a smooth ride. The EPP box with Dibond cover measures about 107 × 75 × 50 cm and seats two children with three-point belts, with room for a baby car seat or an extra child seat as accessories. The bike is rated for 225 kg in total.
Riding and everyday use
The Bosch Performance Line CX motor with 85 Nm makes starts and hills easy even with a full box. The stepless hub with Gates belt shifts at a standstill and needs almost no maintenance. Tektro four-piston hydraulic brakes and a suspension fork add safety and comfort, and the 20-inch front and 27.5-inch rear wheels roll smoothly. With the 500 Wh battery, expect around 35 to 40 km with children; a dual-battery option is available.
Before you buy
At 2.6 m long, 75 cm wide and about 50 kg, the Cruise needs ground-level storage and a wide door or gate. Measure your parking spot before buying, and check which battery configuration your offer includes.
