Our verdict
The Yuba Kombi E5 is one of the cheapest ways into a two-child longtail from a known brand: 1.90 m long, a steel frame rated for 200 kg and 24-inch wheels. The Shimano E5000 motor with 40 Nm and the 418 Wh battery are made for flat cities, not for hills with a full load.
Pros
- Two-child longtail only 1.90 m long
- Steel frame rated for 200 kg
- Low price for a longtail
- Relatively light for a cargo bike at 29.5 kg
Cons
- 40 Nm motor struggles on hills with a load
- Small 418 Wh battery
- No suspension
- Modest 418 Wh battery limits range with heavy loads
- Only 40 Nm of torque — struggles on steep hills when loaded
- Derailleur drivetrain wears faster under cargo loads
Ideal for…
- Families with one or two children in the city
- Small flats and limited storage space
- Families carrying two or three kids
- Apartments with limited storage space
Not recommended if…
- Hilly areas
- Three children

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 Yuba Kombi E5 is for families who want to carry two children on a bike that is no longer than a normal one. It is 1.90 m long and 60 cm wide, fits through doors and can be parked upright on its tail. The rear deck takes two children in seats or one adult passenger, and the steel frame is rated for 200 kg in total.
Riding and everyday use
The Shimano E5000 motor with 40 Nm is quiet and natural but modest: fine on flat routes, hard work on hills with two children. The 418 Wh battery gives around 35 km with a load. The 24-inch wheels are a good compromise between a low load and a smooth ride. The 9-speed derailleur and hydraulic disc brakes are simple and proven.
Before you buy
The bike weighs about 29.5 kg and has a rigid fork, so comfort depends on the tyres. Seats, rails and footboards are sold separately or in the Family version. If your routes include hills, the Kombi EP5 with 60 Nm and a larger battery is worth the extra money.
