Consider your typical load. Long-tail cargo bikes (Tern GSD, Benno Boost) handle kids and groceries. Front-loaders handle larger, bulkier items.

A powerful mid-drive motor is essential for cargo bikes. Look for Bosch Cargo Line or equivalent with 75+ Nm of torque.

Check the maximum payload rating and factor in rider weight. You need at least 100 lbs of cargo capacity after accounting for your weight.

Used cargo e-bikes are excellent value since they depreciate heavily but the frames and motors are built to last.
