Our verdict
The Kettler Cargoline FS 800 adds rear suspension to the long-platform Cargoline, which makes it clearly more comfortable on bad roads than the HT version. It uses a 12-speed derailleur instead of a belt and hub, so it needs more maintenance, and it is long and heavy.
Pros
- Full suspension for comfort on bad roads
- Large 80 cm loading platform
- Strong Cargo Line motor and 625 Wh battery
- 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
- Derailleur drivetrain wears faster under cargo loads
Ideal for…
- Families and trades carrying bulky loads
- Riders who want comfort on bad roads
- 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

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 Kettler Cargoline FS 800 is for families and tradespeople who need a large, flat loading area and a lot of range. The "800" stands for the 80 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 around 50 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 want a shorter, handier bike, the FS 600 has a 60 cm platform.
