3 reasons not to buy
- The Cargowagen's rear rack fits two kids' seats, but Thule's Yepp 2 maxi can’t be mounted on the rear position; the Yepp Nexxt 2 maxi can.
- An expert says that reaching the 28mph top speed is hard work, and a cruising speed of 21mph to 23mph is more realistic.
- Cannondale claims this bike fits riders from 4'11" to 6'3". However, it doesn't provide seat height measurements, and an owner says the seat is too high for a 5’3” rider.
Bottom line
Cannondale’s Cargowagen Neo is a longtail cargo e-bike with a 250W Bosch mid-drive motor, 518Wh battery, suspension fork, and suspension dropper seatpost. Experts and owners celebrate the comfortable ride, stable handling, powerful motor, and sleek design. The bike proves a practical car replacement and a delight to ride empty or loaded with an adult passenger, two kids, or plenty of cargo. Overall, there is reason to consider the Cargowagen Neo as possibly the best longtail e-cargo bike in this price range.
