One of the<\/span> things that can be intimidating about buying a cargo ebike<\/a> is how unfamiliar they feel. Whether a bike is designed with weird geometry and wheel sizes or odd features for heavy hauling, every ride can feel unfamiliar.<\/p>\n

For traditional cyclists who want to haul a grocery store trip\u2019s worth of groceries home but don\u2019t want to mess with technology they\u2019re unfamiliar with, the Trek Fetch+ 2 is a decent option. It\u2019s more expensive than some of our favorite alternatives, but it has an easy-to-ride step-through design, well-made components, and great plastic buckets (and other accessories) for storage.<\/p>\n

There are bikes with more advanced features for the money, but even after I spent a summer riding the Fetch+ 2, it barely needed a tune-up. For a modern cargo ebike with a classic cargo bike maintenance schedule, it might be worth spending a bit more cash.<\/p>\n

On the Road<\/h2>\n

The Fetch+ 2 is the smaller of Trek\u2019s two latest cargo ebikes, which includes the box-fronted Fetch+ 4 ($8,500)<\/a>, which is more oriented toward toting around dogs and children in between groceries and beer.<\/p>\n

The Fetch+ 2 instead is a more traditional step-through cargo bike that employs a myriad of attachments, most notably two plastic panniers that hang off an extended rack on the rear. You can get a padded seat cover for the rear to let friends hold on and ride, or mount a couple kids\u2019 seats behind you, but I\u2019d still probably use this bike more for errands than transporting little ones.<\/p>\n
