WHAT SIZE SHOULD YOU CHOOSE FOR YOUR VELOCARGO F900E?
One size fits all, for people between 1.55 and 1.95 m tall.
Its low ride height makes it an easy cargo bike for everyday use.
WHAT IS ELECTRIC ASSISTANCE?
Electric assistance helps you pedal to your destination without breaking a sweat, while maintaining a pleasant pedaling rhythm along the way.
The electric motor will assist you up to 25 km/h.
The motor stops assisting as soon as you stop pedaling.
WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VELOCARGO F900E ENGINE?
BROSE 36 Volt, 250 Watt nominal central motor. It develops a maximum motor torque of 90 Nm. It enables you to carry a load of up to 184 kg with ease.
