Description
Estarli has moved into the Cargo space with a family-focused longtail. Co-
Founder Alex Francis said, “this one was hard to ignore. The eCargo market is
burgeoning and I do school runs for my daughters in a town where the Cargo
bike is king and the car is a fool’s game”.
Alex explains that the intention was to develop an eCargo for all families: “It
had to be more affordable than many of the market leading eCargo’s and it had
to be a longtail variant since they ride the most like normal bikes.” The Estarli
eCargo boasts a large 800WH battery that can do weeks of school trips without
needing to charge and can carry an enviable 210 kg load.
Cycling industry news tested it at the eBike Summit in Oxford and said, “the
Estarli electric cargo bike has an impressive spec for the price, managing to
include an Enviolo stepless gear transmission alongside the Bafang m400
mid-motor, which offers 80 Nm of torque delivery to the Gates Carbon Drive
belt.” Estarli tests their eBikes in the steep Chilterns valley of Berkhamsted so
you know if you buy an estarli, it’s going to fly up hills.
Co-Founder and brother Oliver Francis says Estarli has had a lot of interest in
the eCargo ever since the rumours started circulating. “We have a close
relationship with our retail partners up and down the country and this is the
product that has got them talking the most”, he said. Leading industry outlet,
Ebiketips shared that enthusiasm after a full afternoon's testing. They said, “It
was hard to fault this e-bike and the ease with which it took on the test ground
– including some nice quality off-road bridleways – made its performance
even more impressive.” They went on; “the RRP of £2,995 looks extremely
competitive as most mid-drive e-cargo longtails with this carrying capacity
start at around £4,000”. “With a lot of noise in the eCargo space”, Oliver said,
“we are delighted to cut through. When Ebiketips say they are ‘truly
impressed’ with one of our new products we use that as fuel to push it but also
iterate and improve upon it.
The Estarli eCargo launches in late September 2023. The bike will initially launch
with a ‘Family Pack’ bolt-on plus a series of other accessories. In 2024, Estarli will
be releasing its own range of weather shields for the Family Pack.
