Where it sits among cargo e-bikes

Price against estimated range for 29 cargo models priced in the United States. This model is the ringed dot.

At $1,512 and an estimated 52 mi, it ranks 6 of 29 on estimated range per unit of price. That is a converted price: the bike is not listed for the United States, so the figure is its list price converted at the site's fixed rate.

It is off the line: the Hidoes F3 PRO has a longer estimated range, 57 mi, at $1,074, which is at or below this model's price. 7 of the 29 are placed at converted prices (hollow dots).
