Our verdict
The Kettler Cargoline FS 600 is the shorter version of Kettler's fully suspended front-loader: a 60 cm platform makes it a little more compact than the FS 800, with the same Cargo Line motor and 250 kg total rating. The 12-speed derailleur needs regular care, and it is still a long, heavy bike.
Pros
- Full suspension for comfort on bad roads
- Shorter 60 cm platform, easier to handle
- Strong Cargo Line motor, 250 kg total rating
- Strong 85 Nm motor pulls full loads up steep hills
- High permitted total weight of 250 kg
Cons
- Derailleur needs regular care
- Long and heavy, needs ground-level parking
- Child box depends on the chosen setup
- Heavy at 48 kg — hard to carry or lift over steps
- Derailleur drivetrain wears faster under cargo loads
Ideal for…
- Families and trades who want comfort on bad roads
- Riders who find the 80 cm version too long
- Families carrying two or three kids
- Riding with a dog
- Hilly cities
Not recommended if…
- Homes without ground-level storage
- Riders who want a maintenance-free drivetrain
- You must carry it up stairs or into a cellar

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 Kettler Cargoline FS 600 is for families and tradespeople who need a large, flat loading area and a lot of range. The "600" stands for the 60 cm platform between the wheels, on which Kettler's boxes or child carrier are mounted. The bike is rated for 250 kg in total, one of the higher ratings in its price class.
Riding and everyday use
The Bosch Cargo Line motor with 85 Nm moves heavy loads confidently, and the 625 Wh battery gives around 45 km with a load. FS stands for full suspension: elastomer suspension at the front and a rear shock make cobbles and kerbs much more comfortable for rider and passengers. The 12-speed derailleur gives a wide gear range for hills but needs more care than a hub gear, and Magura MT5 brakes provide strong stopping.
Before you buy
With a long wheelbase and a weight of about 48 kg, the Cargoline needs a ground-level parking spot. For children, make sure the Kettler child carrier or a suitable box with seatbelts is included or ordered separately. If you need more loading length, the FS 800 has an 80 cm platform.
