Frame Style: Low Step-Over
Xtracycle offers two different frame shapes: a low step-over frame and a classic double triangle frame. Based off of your Ride Guide response, it appears a low step-over frame is ideal for you. This style of frame, found on the Swoop and RFA, makes getting on and off a fully loaded bike easier. This can be helpful for shorter riders, families where one rider is shorter, or riders who intend to carry cargo or kiddos on board.
Electric-assist might not be necessary for your needs
According to your Ride Guide answers, we believe you are good to go on human power alone and might not need e-assist. Our bikes give you plenty of gearing options – 27 gears in total – so you can get in a low gear to conquer hills with heavy loads and then shift into high gear to go fast on flat surfaces or downhills.
Getting a non-electric bike now doesn’t mean you can’t upgrade later. Pedal-powered bikes (another term for non-electric bikes) can be converted down the road if you decide an e-bike might benefit your changing needs. You can read more about e-bike conversions here.
You can also read more about the difference between purpose-built e-bikes and converted e-bikes here.

Which drive unit works for me?
According to your Ride Guide answers, we believe you would benefit from an electric assist. Having an electric assist bike can offer more flexibility in the way you ride your bike. You can ride further, faster, for longer, and up more hills. Based on your needs, we are recommending the CX motor.
Here are the relative benefits of the 3 different drivetrains we offer: Performance, CX, and Speed.
PERFORMANCE
- 20mph maximum assist level
- Less torque for hauling heavy loads uphill
- Entry level e-assist option
CX
- More torque for powering up hills with heavy loads
- 20mph maximum assist level
- Ideal for most cargo bike riders
SPEED
- Less torque for hauling heavy loads uphill
- More speed, allowing riders to keep up with the pace of city traffic
- 28mph maximum assist
See detailed Bosch component comparison charts here.
How much battery power do I need?
Distance between charges and price both go up as Watt-hour numbers – 400wH, 500wH, and 1000wH – increase. For most people, the PowerPack 400 is plenty. Go for the 500wh or 1000wh batteries if you:
- plan to take long trips more often
- want to charge your bike less often
- want to go bike touring
More battery info can be found here. And you can check out Bosch’s fancy multi-factor range calculator here.
Your battery: PowerPack 500
We believe the PowerPack 500 will meet your needs best. It will give you roughly 25 – 50 miles of range. The Bosch PowerPack 500 is the same size as and only slightly heavier than the PowerPack 400 but extends the range. With the included compact charger, it charges to 50% in 3.5 hours and 100% in 7.5 hours. Battery type: Lithium-ion. Please note that battery range depends on a variety of conditions including hills, road conditions, weight on the bike, etc.
