Claimed range

Weight
A Shimano STEPS cargo mid-drive on a chromoly frame with electronic Di2 shifting and 203mm rotors, which is the largest rotor here. Mixed wheels: 24 inch front, 20 inch rear, to keep the deck low. Three things to read carefully: the 68.4 lb weight is quoted WITHOUT the battery or the included accessories, so it is not comparable to the all-in figures elsewhere on this page; the frame warranty is lifetime to the original owner rather than a number of years; and Xtracycle does not state the sensor, so torque plus cadence is taken from Shimano's own description of the EP6 sensing cadence, torque and speed.

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.
