The Mundo Electric is the bike I love to ride. I take it everywhere. It’s the 5-ton 24ft straight bodied truck of the bike world. I pack my two kids to school and daycare, plus my oldest’s 20″ wheeled bike. Our commute home involves a 300 m elevation gain over 8 km and only takes 20 mins on the e-cargo bike! This ride takes a fit cyclist on a good road bike 30 mins. My kids love riding on the back, and we get a lot of complements and questions.

I have 580 km on the odometer now. The 10 speed Shamino SLX mountain bike drivetrain shifts incredibly well under full load, and the motor pulls hard and does all the heavy lifting. I get two fully loaded trips up the hill for about 20 km of full boost range. Keep in mind, this is a long grind of a hill with two kids on the back. On the flats the battery easily carries me 80+km. The hydraulic magura brakes are strong enough to stop a freight train, and the tires inspire confidence in the corners and on the hard stops. The oversized steel frame rides super smooth and is as stable as a mountain goat.

This bike has been a true car replacement for us. I’ve taken it to Costco and loaded it up on two separate trips now! Costco even has a burly bike rack right at the front door so I get the best parking spot on the lot! I’ve packed home two 40 lb bags of kitty litter without breaking a sweat. The go-getter bag is an excellent addition to the bike and a must for grocery trips. People even comment on the bag being a nice looking cooler bag, although I’m not sure it is, it is just really well built. The long rack is even long enough to fit my 184 cm skis on, with a bit hanging off the back of course.

I have to dock the rating a star though :(. The seat post Clamp is the achilles of this bike. Even the clamp itself is ok, but the little plastic shim between the quick release lever and the clamp body disintegrates after the third time tightening the seat. For such an expensive bike why cheap out on such an easy part to upgrade? I ended up going through my random buck-o-bolts and found a thin 2 cent stainless steel washer to act as a new shim. Yuba, just spend the extra 2 cents and put a brass or stainless steel shim on the clamp! The oversize tubing on the bike also means the seat post clamp is a rare size, so good luck finding a replacement at the local bike shop.

Overall, I couldn’t be happier with this bike. It is my first choice to get somewhere, and I’m feeling extra smug (and relief) that it arrived just as gas prices spiked.

We absolutely love our Mundo Electric! As a family of 5 with kids ranging from 13 to 3 years old, we use it in a variety of ways. I ride it to pickup and drop off kids at school and extra-curriculars. We also tow our 3yo’s bike on family rides to our favorite spots where he can ride safely on flats. Our older 2 love hanging on behind it on their skateboards. It’s great for quick jaunts to the beach with chairs and towels on the back. Lastly, I’ve taken my wife out to dinner a couple of times on it which is super fun! We couldn’t be happier with the purchase; it definitely changed our life for the better!
