Longtail e-cargo bikes: The ideal choice for plus size cyclists

In recent years, e-bikes have taken the cycling world by storm and have become increasingly popular. Almost half of all bikes sold in Germany are equipped with an electric motor. This allows people of all fitness levels to cover longer distances and tackle inclines with ease. But for people with a higher weight, such as taller people and/or cyclists with a few extra kilos, choosing an e-bike can quickly become like looking for a needle in a haystack. Exceeding the permissible total weight can not only affect the lifespan of the bike, but can also lead to dangerous accidents. This is where longtail e-cargo bikes come into play, which are a safe and comfortable alternative for XXL e-bike buyers.

But why is it so important to comply with the permissible total weight? Like any vehicle, e-bikes also have a permissible total weight that must not be exceeded. This weight limit must be observed to ensure safe driving. If this limit is exceeded, a number of problems and risky situations can arise:

1. Damage to the bike: The weight that acts on the frame and wheels of the e-bike is an important factor for stability and durability. Exceeding the weight limit can sooner or later lead to the fork or rims breaking, which entails a high risk of accidents. The broken wheel would also no longer be covered by the manufacturer's guarantee or warranty.

2. Impaired braking performance: The additional weight can have a major impact on the braking performance of an e-bike. In critical moments when rapid braking is required, this can lead to longer braking distances or loss of control of the bike. This too is a recipe for accidents.

3. Overloading the motor and battery capacity: E-bikes have a motor and a battery that are designed for certain weight limits. If the total weight exceeds the prescribed limit, this can lead to overloading and significantly affect the lifespan of the motor and battery. This means that you won't be able to enjoy your e-bike for a relatively long time and you won't be able to make use of the statutory warranty in this case.

The solution: Longtail e-cargo bikes Longtail e-cargo bikes are the perfect solution, especially for plus-size people who like to travel on two wheels. These special electric bikes are designed to carry higher weight loads without compromising safety and performance. Here are some reasons why they are recommended for plus-size people:

1. Robust construction: Longtail e-cargo bikes are specifically designed to carry extra weight. They feature a robust frame construction that can withstand heavy loads and are equipped with powerful and durable components such as thick wheels that are designed to carry a higher overall weight.

2. Stability and balance: Thanks to the extended rear section, longtail e-cargo bikes offer excellent stability and balance, even when loaded with additional weight. This makes them a steadfast companion for XXL riders who may need extra stability.

3. Comfort and safety: Longtail e-cargo bikes often offer a more upright seating position, which can be much more comfortable for overweight people. The wider saddles and ergonomic handlebars provide additional comfort during the ride. In addition, they often have powerful brakes that ensure a safe ride - even with a higher load.

4. Versatility: Whether for daily shopping or for trips into nature - Longtail e-cargo bikes offer a wide range of uses and make them a practical and functional vehicle. The bike is hardly larger than a conventional bicycle and is comfortable to ride.
