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.
AllCargo estimate: 80 kg rider, 40 kg cargo, rolling terrain, tour mode.

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.
The Bosch Cargo Line motor with 85 Nm moves heavy loads confidently, and the 750 Wh battery gives around 55 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.
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. This listing is a package with accessories, so ask the shop exactly what is included.
FS stands for full suspension, with suspension front and rear, and 800 for the 80 cm loading platform. The HT models have front suspension only.
Yes, with Kettler's child carrier or a suitable box with seats and seatbelts mounted on the platform. Check what is included with your offer.
With the 750 Wh battery, around 55 km with a load is realistic, depending on hills and assist level.
With its 750 Wh battery we estimate about 59 km per charge with an 80 kg rider and 40 kg of cargo on rolling terrain. Use the range calculator above for your own scenario.
Prices start at €4,500. The final price depends on configuration, battery size and accessories.
