Cycrown CycWagen Cargo Ebike Review

While I have reviewed and driven everything from Class 1 to 2 ebikes, but we’re onto a much larger and capable unit, a Class 3 cargo bike. I guess I love to review ebikes.

The CycWagen Dual Battery Cargo by Cycrown is an impressive one that caters to both urban commuters and those needing to transport heavy items. With its wild 440lbs max load, it can carry some serious cargo in addition to your own butt.

I will dive into various parts of the CycWagen cargo that I think highlights it’s overall capabilities, including its design and performance, safety features, and overall thoughts. Let’s hit the road.

Design and Build Quality

This bike is crafted with a very durable aluminum alloy frame, giving it both strength and lightness, which is crucial for a cargo bike. I have driven many heavy ebikes, and much prefer lighter models. The Cargo feels like a good balance. Since it is a cargo bike, though, the seating position is more forward than traditional, and you really are utilizing the capability of the bike compared to when you want to go on a leisurely ride.

The step-through design is user-friendly, accommodating a wide range of rider heights from 5’3″ to 6’3″, and it makes it easier to mount and dismount, especially when you are actually carrying cargo. The dimensions of the bike (78″ x 27.6″ x 51.2″) and weight (87.1 lbs) reflect a well-engineered balance between size and functionality as I mentioned, allowing it to manuever on urban environments and handle cargo tasks efficiently.

Featuring 20-inch fat tires, the CycWagen offers really good stability and great traction on lots of surfaces, all the way from smooth roads to uneven dirt trails. The front suspension fork adds to the comfort by absorbing shocks, making rides overall smoother and more enjoyable.

One point to highlight is that the pedals are low to the ground on this bike. Maybe don’t drive it like I do around tight corners, because you will face the wrath of asphalt. Only a suggestion.

Performance and Battery

A big feature of the cargo model is its dual battery system, combining a 48V 10.4Ah and a 15.6Ah battery, for a total of 1200Wh. This setup helps to deliver an incredibly impressive range of up to 120 miles per charge, letting you use this bike for long-distance commutes without a constant worry of recharging it.

The 750W motor, which can peak all the way to 1000W, allows for a top speed of a blistering 28 MPH, ensuring that you can keep up with traffic and tackle steep inclines effortlessly. The CycWagen offers five levels of assist when pedaling, and a throttle on the hadnlebar, giving riders flexibility to pick their preferred level of electric assistance based on terrain and their own personal riding style.
