The Benno RemiDemi is a fun and versatile bike that’s just the kind of thing you need if you’re hankering after a cargo bike but you really don’t have the space for one. It’s not as versatile as Benno’s Boost or Tern’s GSD but it’s quite a bit cheaper than either and will offer enough carrying capacity for many people in a compact package. “The RemiDemi breaks all the rules of how a bike is supposed to look and ride”, says Benno. “We gave it small wheels and fat, grippy tires for major maneuverability. A thick, sturdy frame with a convenient low step through.

Benno’s Boost E is a really nicely put together long-tail cargo bike that’s well-designed for carrying kids or loads, or a bit of both. In this build it’s very well specced with a powerful motor, and you can choose the bits you need to make it perfect for your riding. Buy the Benno Boost E here “A typical ebike offers a nice ride, but not much utility. A cargo ebike carries heavy loads, but can be difficult to maneuver”, claims Benno, and we wouldn’t disagree.

Price: $3399.00 | Model Year: 2020 | A premium step-thru utility bike with extra-wide 4.25
A premium step-thru utility bike with extra-wide 4.25" fat tires. Sturdy chromoly steel frame and fork deliver vibration dampening and create a smooth organic feel. Support tubing at the front and middle of the frame reduce flex and allow for up to 400lbs of total weight capacity (65lbs on rear rack, 45lbs on optional front rack). Quality Shimano hydraulic disc brakes provide excellent stopping power without much hand effort.
Large comfortable cruiser saddle, upright riser handlebar, and matching ergonomic grips with lockers feel secure and steady. Despite its smaller size, the RemiDemi can accommodate riders between 5'1" and 6'1" in height. Shimano Sora derailleur and 155mm crank arms were both chosen to increase ground clearance for the lower compact frame.
Custom plastic fenders with extra support arms look amazing and don't rattle or buzz when riding off-road (two ribs below the fenders reduce flex). Premium Herrmans integrated lights run off of the main battery pack (headlight is aimable, rear light has two LEDs). Integrated Rear rack has swappable interface mounts for a wide range of custom accessories (works with Racktime and Yepp! Easyfit by default).
Fat tires and chromoly frame increases the weight of this ebike (65.3lbs without any accessories). It comes with the smallest Bosch battery pack, the PowerPack 400 vs. 500, and the slower Bosch compact charger. While fairly comfortable on flats and gravel, this ebike does not come with a suspension fork or seat post.
