2023 Urban Arrow

Family Performance Plus

Unreal capacity and capability for both cargo and people, powerful Bosch motor, surprisingly pleasant to ride, a genuine car replacement, lots of well-considered details.

Expensive, questionable steering system design, quirky handling, far too many questions from passersby.

A family oriented box bike that lets you see your precious cargo, up to three small children in the front, and maneuver like a traditional bicycle on two wheels. Bike weight and cargo weight is kept low and center for stability. Thoughtfully designed rain cover, poncho, baby seat adapter, rear rack, and double battery options expand the possibilities.

Available in black or white, the seat tube angle and highly adjustable stem and handlebar provide a wide range of fit options. The frame and tires have reflective accents for safety, along with the optional cargo covers, and premium lights let you ride comfortably at dawn or dusk. Great fenders and full-surround chain cover keep you clean.

The step-thru frame is approachable but very stiff, the bike doesn't flex as much as many two wheel long tail cargo bikes I've reviewed but it is heavier overall. The kickstand is very sturdy but easy to deploy and stow. Pedals, saddle, grips, and puncture-resistant balloon tires are above average for improved comfort.

Durable Enviolo CVT drivetrain provides shifting at standstill and ramped vs. stepped cadence adjustability but adds cost and weight. Bosch Cargo Line motor is their most powerful, but spends power more quickly. Upgraded ebike specific hydraulic disc brakes are perfect for a bike this size. Higher capacity Bosch PowerPack 500 than previous generation.
