10 reasons not to buy
- CYCROWN offers no evidence to support the claim this bike is UL-certified.
- When asked, CYCROWN fails to clarify the vague and inconsistent stated performance figures and build specifications.
- Testers say the pedals hit the ground in corners.
- One expert dislikes the “cheap” plastic Shimano shifter.
- Pedaling above 20mph is uncomfortable due to the limited gearing, according to reviewers.
- The throttle exceeds 20mph, meaning the CycWagen breaches e-bike laws in most jurisdictions.
- Though happy with the braking power in testing, reviewers say 160mm brake rotors are too small on a cargo bike this fast and heavy.
- Testers complain about the chain rubbing on the footrest bolts and kickstand.
- Experts bemoan the awkward riding position created by the high handlebars, low seat, and long reach.
- An expert says the “wildly inaccurate” battery indicator could easily leave a rider marooned without motor assistance.
Bottom line
CYCROWN's CycWagen is a long-tail cargo e-bike with a 750W motor and two batteries totaling 1,248Wh. Experts praise the smooth pedal assist, comfortable ride, and high payload capacity, but the awkward riding position and gearing range disappoint. Battery range isn't tested. The CycWagen is heavy, the throttle breaches e-bike laws, and there's no proof the bike is UL-compliant. Furthermore, CYCWAGEN repeatedly fails to clarify key aspects of this bike's specifications and performance. Apart from the low price, experts find the CycWagen underwhelming. Alternatives include the Aventon Abound and Fiido T2.Expert Reviews
