Who should buy it
The Heybike Hauler fits riders who want a capable cargo bike without a high price. It is lighter than average and has strong torque. But you must accept the limited estimated range.
- You carry heavy loads and need torque for hills.
- You want a cargo bike that is easier to maneuver than heavier models.
- You are on a budget and can handle shorter rides.
Look elsewhere if you need long range or a published warranty. Also, if you want a throttle or a step-through frame, this bike does not offer them.
