Cargo & Family Electric Bikes
Cargo and family electric bikes give you the space and power to carry kids, pets, groceries, and gear without slowing down. Whether you're doing the school run across Toronto or hauling a week of groceries home in Calgary, a cargo e-bike puts a stable, high-capacity frame under a motor built to handle the extra weight with ease.

Choosing the Right Cargo E-Bike for Canadian Families
At Amego EV, we carry a curated lineup of cargo and family e-bikes from Tern, Aventon, Cannondale, Cube, and Velotric. These bikes are built to replace a second car for school runs, daycare pickup, grocery runs, and weekend outings - combining stable geometry, powerful mid-drive or hub motors, and safety features like integrated lighting and low step-through frames.
Longtail models from Tern (GSD, HSD, NBD, Quick Haul) are the most versatile choice for carrying one or two kids plus gear and handle like a standard bike. The Cannondale Cargowagen and Tern Orox suit families who want a front-loading box or heavier-duty capability. The Aventon Abound and Cube Cargo Sport Hybrid offer lighter, more affordable entry points into the category.

Frequently Asked Questions - Cargo & Family E-Bikes at Amego
What is a cargo e-bike?
A cargo e-bike is an electric bicycle built with an extended frame, reinforced rack, and higher payload capacity to carry children, pets, groceries, or gear. Cargo e-bikes typically fall into two styles: longtail, with an extended rear rack, and front-loader, with a cargo box ahead of the rider.
How much weight can a cargo e-bike carry?
Most cargo e-bikes in our collection carry a total payload of 180 to 200 kg depending on the model. Tern's GSD and HSD longtails are rated for some of the highest capacities in the category, while the Cube's Cargo Sport front loading cargo box is built for hauling kids and larger loads at lower speeds.
Are cargo e-bikes legal in Ontario and Alberta?
Yes. Cargo e-bikes sold at Amego EV qualify as power-assisted bicycles under Ontario and Alberta regulations, with motor assistance limited to 500W and 32 km/h. They're legal on roads, bike lanes, and multi-use paths. Riders must be 16 or older, with no license or insurance required.
What's the difference between a longtail and a front-loader cargo e-bike?
Longtail cargo e-bikes, like the Tern GSD, HSD, and Quick Haul, extend the rear rack to carry one or two child seats or panniers and handle like a standard bike. Front-loader models, like the Cube Cargo Sport, carry cargo or kids in a box ahead of the rider for better visibility and a lower center of gravity at slow speeds.
Can I test ride a cargo e-bike before buying?
Yes. Test rides are available at our Downtown Toronto (533 Richmond St W), Midtown Toronto (87 Wingold Ave Unit 4), and Calgary (506 42 Ave SE) showrooms. We recommend booking in advance to ensure your preferred model is available and set up for your height.
