Mubea U-Mobility: Clever e-cargo bike with double floor and Valeo drive

The automotive supplier and lightweight construction specialist Mubea has announced another version of its award-winning e-cargo bike "Cargo" for the International Handicrafts Fair in Munich (March 8-12, 2023), which now features a closed box from Junge, a bodywork specialist, and an underfloor module. The latter comes from cooperation partner Bott, is intended to be both a transporter and a mobile workshop, and offers a load capacity of up to 200 kilograms. The Mubea Cargo was the winner of the "International Cargobike of the Year" award initiated by LOGISTRA, which was awarded after a comparison test at IAA TRANSPORTATION last year. The cargo bike underfloor module from Bott's Vario3 series features a long floor plate (860x1,050x12 mm) with 3 integrated lashing rails and stands 200 mm high with a matching heavy-duty drawer, supporting a load of up to 70 kilos. Naturally, there is an anti-slip mat, 3 cross dividers, and 2 individual lashing points on the housing (590x1,050x250 mm). Additionally, there is a side tray with an anti-slip mat (180x1,050x100 mm). The box can accommodate additional loads of up to 150 kg. The box itself comes in three versions with volumes of 1.3, 1.6, and 1.9 cubic meters, bringing the total weight of the bike to 500 kilograms.

For pedal assistance of the 2.77 meter long, 95 centimeter narrow, and 1.99 meter high pedelec up to 25 km/h, a Valeo Cyclee Go7 drive with a 7-speed automatic transmission is now used, providing 130 Nm of torque at the prescribed 250 watts of power. The range is 50 kilometers with a 1.24-kWh battery, with an additional battery available. As usual, there is a maneuvering aid forward and backward up to 6 km/h. The basis of the optionally covered and semi-enclosed vehicle is a lightweight and robust frame made of durable aerospace aluminum with stabilizers and double wishbones with coilover shocks on the front and rear axles. The 16-inch performance wheels with aluminum rims and motorcycle tires, specially developed for cargo use, ensure a safe contact with the road.
