Eunorau G30-CARGO 2.0

The Eunorau G30-CARGO 2.0 is a compact long-tail cargo e-bike built on a 6061 aluminum frame with 20-inch wheels. The small wheel size is deliberate: it keeps the rear cargo deck and the standover height low, which makes the bike easier to load and more settled once it is carrying weight. Total payload capacity is 440 lbs across rider, cargo and passengers, recommended rider height is 5'1" to 6'2", and between a saddle that adjusts from 32.3 to 39.4 inches off the ground and an adjustable stem, the fit range covers a wide spread of riders. An optional basket kit adds storage capacity; child seats are not included.

Drive is a 48V 500W geared rear hub motor rated at up to 65 N.m of torque, run through a 48V 20A controller, with top speed listed at 20 MPH. Gearing is a Shimano 7-speed derailleur with a 44T chainring and thumb shifting, giving low gears for climbing under load and taller gears for the flat, and a double-sided chain guide protects the chainring teeth while keeping the chain seated. A half-twist throttle sits alongside the pedal assist, which is useful for pulling a loaded bike away from a standstill without having to stamp on the pedals.

The main battery is a removable 48V pack in 14Ah or 20Ah capacity, with a 15Ah or 17Ah secondary battery offered as an option. Eunorau's published range is 35 to 65 miles running dual batteries, and a full charge takes 4 to 6 hours on the included US-standard 2.0A smart charger. The bike rolls on 20 x 3.0-inch Kenda tires on alloy rims with stainless steel spokes, and a front suspension fork takes the edge off rough and uneven pavement.

Braking is hydraulic disc with 180mm rotors front and rear, with a motor cutoff switch in the levers that drops power the moment you brake. The CDC6 LCD display shows battery level, speed, mileage and assist level, and the LED headlight runs off the main battery, bright enough to serve as the only light on a night ride, with a taillight at the rear. Assembly tools are included in the box. On classification: at 500W nominal the motor sits below the 750W figure U.S. federal law uses to define a low-speed electric bicycle, but states set their own classifications, helmet rules, age limits and restrictions on where throttle-equipped e-bikes may be ridden, so treatment varies by location. Check the law in your state and the posted rules for the specific roads, bike paths and trails you intend to use.
