I was thrilled to see Surly launch another electric cargo bike, the Skid Loader shorttail electric cargo bike, with a very unique vibe. The rear rack can hold 100 lbs of cargo, but the 27.5 x 2.5” tires are ready for off-road adventures and take the path less traveled.
If you like going off-road with your cargo bike, check out the adventure cargo bike category, which includes the Benno Boost, Riese & Muller Multicharger, Tern Orox, and the Xtracycle Stoker.
