Our verdict
The Yuba Supercargo CL is a front-loader at the price of a longtail: Bosch Cargo Line motor with 85 Nm, a front platform for 100 kg that comes as an open loader or with a bamboo box and bench, and a rear rack for a further 36 kg. It is light for its class at 40 kg; there is no suspension, the 500 Wh battery is modest and the derailleur needs care.
Pros
- Front-loader at a moderate price
- Strong 85 Nm Bosch Cargo Line motor
- Open platform or box, plus a 36 kg rear rack

Cons
- No suspension
- 500 Wh battery is modest for a front-loader
- Derailleur needs regular care
- Long (2,600 mm) — needs a ground-level parking spot
- Derailleur drivetrain wears faster under cargo loads
Ideal for…

- Families carrying two or three kids
- Couriers and commercial deliveries
- Riding with a dog
Not recommended if…

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 Supercargo CL is for families and small businesses who want a front-loader without paying premium-brand prices. The front platform takes up to 100 kg and comes as an open loader for cargo or with a bamboo box and bench for children; the rear rack adds 36 kg. With the box, a bench for two, an extra seat and a child seat on the rear rack, up to four children can ride. The bike is 2.60 m long.
Riding and everyday use
The Bosch Cargo Line motor with 85 Nm starts a loaded bike easily and copes with hills. Two 20-inch wheels keep the load low, and cable steering gives a tight turning circle. With the 500 Wh battery, around 40 km with a load is realistic. A 10-speed Shimano derailleur and Magura hydraulic disc brakes are fitted.
Before you buy
At 2.60 m the Supercargo needs ground-level parking, although 40 kg is light for a front-loader. Yuba gives a total load of 200 kg; ask the dealer how rider, front load and rack load add up for your use. There is no suspension, and box, bench, seats and rain cover change the price considerably.
