FAQ
Why choose Skid Loader instead of a full-size longtail cargo bike?
We recommend Skid Loader if you want e-assist but don’t want (or can’t fit) a bike the size of Big Easy. This compact electric cargo bike has plenty of hauling juice and capacity, yet it fits in tighter spaces. It also rides more like a regular bike thanks to its shorter stature.
Is Skid Loader good for apartments or tighter storage situations?
Yep. We know the pain of wanting a cargo bike but having nowhere to put it. Skid Loader maneuvers hallways and stairs more easily than our other cargo bikes. Still, it would be awfully smart of you to check your garage or apartment dimensions before you commit.
What kind of errands is Skid Loader best for?
You name it, pal. The rear rack is rated up to 100 pounds, so let your imagination run with that for a minute. Go pick up a week’s worth of groceries, or your kid from school. Drop off a pile of clothing at the thrift store, or purchase parts to fix your car that keeps breaking down. Haul your grilling setup to the local park or show up to a party with a dozen pizzas. The magic of a compact electric cargo commuting bike is hard to overstate.
Can Skid Loader work for family transportation?
Sure can. Skid Loader is designed for use with a kid seat, so you can drop Junior off at school, scoot over to the playground, or take them to see grandma and grandpa out in the ‘burbs. The dropper post helps accommodate riders of different sizes if you and your partner/spouse/whatever are relatively close in height.
Why does Skid Loader make sense in cities?
Skid Loader’s e-assist helps you keep up with the flow of city traffic, especially when you’re loaded down. It also expands your range so you can get more shit done in a day than you might under pure pedal power. Finally, Skid Loader’s smaller footprint simply fits more easily when locking onto crowded bike racks, flowing through traffic, and wheeling it into your elevator.
