Our verdict

The FamilyNext Advanced Belt is the sweet spot of the FamilyNext range: belt drive, stepless hub, Magura four-piston brakes and an 800 Wh battery, with room for up to four children. It is big and heavy, so plan a ground-level parking spot.

Who it is for

The Urban Arrow FamilyNext Advanced Belt is for families who use their bakfiets every day and want range and low maintenance. The new FamilyNext box has higher backrests, one-handed seatbelts and a 125 kg rating, with room for up to four children, and the bike is rated for 250 kg in total.

Riding and everyday use

The Bosch Performance Line motor with 75 Nm is smooth and quiet, and the Enviolo stepless hub with Gates belt lets you change gear at a standstill without chain grease or wear. The 800 Wh battery gives around 60 km with children on board, enough for several days of school runs. Magura CMe four-piston brakes and a suspension fork add confidence and comfort.

Before you buy

At 51 kg and front-loader length, it needs ground-level storage. If you prefer the hub to shift for you, the Belt Auto version adds automatic shifting. Rain tent, extra seats and a lock are the most common accessories.
