Xtracycle The Hopper
Class 2
Legal class
28 mph
Top speed
720 Wh

85 lb
Weight
500 lb
Max load
A compact longtail rated to 500 lb gross with a 242 lb rear rack, on a cargo-rated SunTour Mobie fork. Five year frame warranty. Two figures need reading carefully: the 85 lb weight is quoted WITH the Hooptie and PorterRack fitted, so the bare bike is lighter than it looks next to others here, and Xtracycle publishes no range at all for the 720Wh pack. Ships at 20 mph, user adjustable from 7 to 28.

Safety certification: UL 2849: full system. Xtracycle states: “"UL 2849 certified" on the Swoop; the Hopper states the battery is "UL 2271 certified by SGS"” (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.
