The cheapest cargo bike here, and the only bike on the site with MECHANICAL disc brakes rather than hydraulic: cable discs need more hand force and more adjustment, which matters more on a loaded cargo bike than on anything else. 840Wh with LG cells and a 120 lb rear rack. KBO publishes no torque figure and no UL certification, and states no class despite a throttle to 20 and pedal assist past 28.

Safety certification: not published. KBO states: “No UL standard named on the product page” (source). That is the manufacturer’s own claim, not something we verified, you can check a specific model in UL’s Product iQ database. Why this matters.
