Expert overview

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 QiO Long CLA is for families who want a compact longtail with small 20-inch wheels and little maintenance. The extended rear carrier is rated for 80 kg and has room for two child seats; each seat with child may weigh up to 27 kg. Rails with a folding bar and fixed footrests are part of the design, and a front carrier system takes 7 to 20 kg depending on the carrier. The bike is rated for 200 kg in total.
Riding and everyday use
The Bosch Cargo Line motor with the Smart System gives strong support with a loaded rear, and the stepless hub with belt drive shifts at a standstill and stays clean. The 800 Wh battery gives around 60 km with a load, and a second battery is optional. Magura four-piston brakes stop firmly, and a suspension fork compensates for the small wheels on rough streets.
Before you buy
At 38 to 40 kg without accessories, the QiO Long is heavy to lift, so plan ground-level storage. Check with the dealer which front carrier and child seats are approved for your setup. QiO is a smaller German brand, so make sure a dealer near you can service it.
