Living car-less decided an electric cargo bike was the answer- LOVE this bicycle!! I'm no longer intimidated by distance or terrain. Added the carry on, bags & lock. Bungeed 2 crates to the rack for groceries. It's an amazing bicycle & can really fly going down hills without use of the motor.

Riding my Spicy Curry is even better than I thought it would be. Hauling my kids + their bikes up hills has been a breeze. Plus, we're really enjoying biking past ALL the traffic on our way to school!!

We love our Spicy Curry! It’s been a fantastic way to get out of the car and get around town. Our kids love it too and actually prefer it over driving. Super stable, hefty, carries plenty of weight, and feels like it’s built like a tank. Our only complaint is that we blew through the stock brakes really fast (600 miles or so took them all the way down to the point that we had to replace the rotors as well), but our local shop (G&O Family Cyclery in Seattle) hooked us up with some beefier brakes. All in all though it’s been worth every penny and we could not be more thrilled with it.

Wow. Have you ever ridden a bike with someone on your handlebars? No? Well, 'driving' the Spicy Curry will allow you the thrilling experience of balancing you and your best-friend-cargo on busy city bike lanes. You will forget about the squeaky spring attached to the front fork as you nervously navigate around corners. CAUTION. You will be scared, but push through for a leisurely ride with 300 lbs of whomever you like. Honestly, the only way to describe it is "an experience." Take one for a spin at Performance Bicycle in Seattle.

We've had our Spicy Curry Bosch for a few months and 400 miles, so time for a review....it's amazing! I must have 5 bikes in the garage, and this one is now my all-time favorite. My 2-year old daughter and I ride it just about daily, and we both love, love, love it. The frame is the right size that with just an easy adjustment of the seatpost, either myself (6'0") or my wife (5'7") can ride comfortably. First off, the frame itself is of very high quality, and it is STIFF. I'm sure it could carry much more than the 300 pounds cargo it is rated to. The components are nice as well. The Schawble tires don't have the smoothest ride quality, but they are bombproof - not flats while riding over some truly bad roads and lots of gravel. The Shimano M396 brakes were a welcome surprise - these aren't as nearly as expensive as the ones on my mountain bike, but I'm hard-pressed to find any major differences. Great brakes, not just for the money. The Bosch motor and battery are absolutely killer! Our daily ride involves a bit of 12% grade, and the torque that the Bosch cranks out is seriously impressive. The user interface is intuitive and helpful. Maybe my only two complaints about the bike is that I didn't have the option to get the larger Bosch Powerpack 500, and that I can't set up the bike to run two batteries at once. Only a minor annoyance - I plan on buying an extra Powerpack 500 and just carrying it with me for the longer rides. I absolutely love that the bike comes stock with nice fenders and lights - thanks Yuba, I wish more bike companies would follow you there. The bike is a great value - I know, that's crazy to say for a $4500 ride, but it is less pricey than some of the other bikes we looked at (Xtracycle, Bullit, Ubran Arrow) and just as high, if not higher quality. Depending on your situation it can truly be a car-replacement. Even more importantly to me, it allows me to ride everyday while spending time with my daughter! Very much looking forward to next year when my son is old enough to get on as well. Oh yeah - be prepared to spend a little extra time every time you take this to the grocery store - someone ALWAYS stops and asks me about the bike. I'm happy to stop and tell them how awesome it is.

Life changer! My wife was skeptical when I got the bike because she hates going on rides with me and trying to keep up. We rode to the beach the other day, with her hauling our little one on the Spicy Curry and me on a regular commuter bike. Not only did she keep up, she kicked my butt and made me work hard to keep up with her on the way back. I now take my son to school and back daily with ease and am transitioning from driving to biking more! This bike opens up a world of opportunities. Oh, and of course my son loves riding in it!

"It's a total game changer!" That's what all our early-adopter cargo ebike friends told us when we were considering getting a Spicy Curry Bosch. Our family couldn't have imagined how much a game changer until we experienced it for ourselves. We bought our ebike for pragmatic reasons -- work commute, kid transport, errands -- but every trip feels more like a joyride. It's good for the planet, good for our health, heaps of fun, and puts us all in the best mood. Our 4-year old son was gleefully hooting and hollering the whole ride to preschool this morning -- something we've never heard him do from his carseat! Our Spicy Curry puts smiles on our faces, and it seems to do the same for all those we pass. Some practical things we've learned: 1) There's a 1' height differential between us. The OSFA frame really is fine. 2) The smaller back wheel is key for stability, especially if you're short. This is an advantage of the Spicy Curry over some of its competitors. 3) You can attach a Chariot baby trailer to a Spicy Curry. It's a tight a fit, but it works. Super helpful for hauling kids, groceries, etc. 4) The original plan was to have our 4-year old in the monkey bars, and our 2-year old sit behind him in a Yepp Maxi Easyfit baby seat. We then learned that installation of this chair requires the inner monkey bars to be removed. Because our son is too small for that just yet, we've opted to keep our 2-year old daughter in the Chariot for now. We're kind of a ridiculous sight to behold, all 10' of us, but it works. We enthusiastically recommend the Spicy Curry Bosch. A game changer, to be sure.

Of all the momma bike options out there the yuba is hands down the pimptest one rolling. The mrs transports three kids 15km each way to school in the morning. 100x better than sitting in a car in traffic jam! The bike is as solid as any of high end mountain bikes and despite the slick-ish tires the spicey curry can handle some off road when needed. We got a number of accessories and they are worth it every penny. We’re planning a family bike packing adventure for end of summer. I am certain it will perform splendid.

Love our Spicy Curry. Commute 14 miles to work and back in Colorado and plenty of battery (700’ total elevation gain on way there and 595’ on way back). Take the kids to school and they love it and have to show all their friends. Was dad of the year in our neighborhood when I strapped a torpedo keg of local pale ale to the back and a yeti cooler in the bread basket with wine on Halloween. End of the night I had two kids and the keg all in two and felt stable. I’ve owned it for about 7 months now.

Our Spicy Curry is the hottest thing to hit our family since having a third kid! This bike moves and hauls like a boss and excites the offspring about going anywhere. Be wary though, it turns more heads than I'm comfortable with. Good thing I can speed away (with ease) before anyone can talk to me!

As a Spicy Curry owner since late 2016, I have loved it. Getting past a few mechanical issue with the help of the Yuba team (best customer service I have ever had) I am now on the Spicy Bosh platform. After putting a little over 5000 miles between my original unit, and the Bosh as my daily commuter it is wonderful. I have a one way commute of about 17 miles up and down hills, and the ability to mix the gearing with the levels of peddle assist is wonderful. What used to take me an hour and a half to commute when I was in shape with a single pannier on a road bike now takes me a little over an hour carrying a full load of whatever! Bike, gear, and self are running about 430lbs and at assist level 1 on flats I can keep a good 13-15mph pace. Now throw on my wine club (12btl) delivered to the office and I don't even notice it on the back commuting home. It is amazing how many people stop me or approach me and ask about the bike. Once I tell them I commute on it and it will carry roughly 300lbs of cargo plus myself they are amazed. Team Yuba thanks, your dedication to providing alternative transport that works and has numerous benefits not only to the environment but to health is applauded.

Long time biker. Raced road bikes, tandems (with wife), and enjoyed long distance road, mtn biking, and commuting. When I became a photographer I had to haul gear which prevented me from commuting. Not anymore! Love the Spicy Curry and it's changed my life. I'm getting all my exercise in by just biking to my office and photo shoots with all the equipment I need. Cameras, lens, light stands, backdrops... CRAZY!

We love our Spicy! Living on a big hill, we are able to shop and bring a full load of groceries home with no difficulty, including a 5 gallon water bottle. For family outings all three of us hop on the Spicy (after fighting over who gets to pedal). Nick Gaffney Fairfax, CA

We love our Spicy Curry (Bosch)! Compared to the similar Extracycle, this Yuba feels like a sporty race bike. It hauls our two daughters up the biggest hills in Seattle with ease, and has been very reliable. We had it set up with some sweet accessories like the Yepp Maxi seat, Bamboo SideBoards, Standalone Kickstand, Soft Spot seat pad and the Mini Monkey Bars. All of these Yuba accessories have worked out great. A few other accessories I am loving are the CarSick bags and Abus Bordo Big (and Bordo Lite) locks. We are so happy that we consulted with the owners of G&O Family Cycles in Seattle before we bought our first E-Bike. They let us know that this bike was something special, and on the first test ride I knew exactly why.

A wonderful experience to ride, especially as you get used to working in tandem with the motor. I love being able to carry the whole family (2 adults, one kid, one dog in the front basket) on one bike up hills. We love running errands and taking it to the park. It works equally well for pleasure rides and for trips to the hardware store for lumber. For in-town transit, it nearly completely replaces the need for a car. I feel safe and visible on it, and like how I can choose whether to get a workout or to arrive at my destination completely sweat-free.

OMG - We LOVE our Spicy Curry! "Two adults, one child, hills" - No problem. We live in Nelson, BC Canada and ride almost all-year round. We have one of the original 2015 green Spicy Curry bikes. A match made in heaven. It has been one of our most favourite purchases. Easy on, ride, park & lock, and ride again!

We did a lot of comparison shopping and even rented a front-box style tricycle before choosing a Spicy Curry. And what a good decision it was. It has brought a broad smile to the commute--both for me and for my two large kids (who fit nicely!). Traffic is no longer a daily hassle in life. The Bosch powertrain is refined and smooth; all hills are conquerable. The accessories are high quality, and the Spicy is nicely appointed with lights integrated into the Bosch system, disc brakes, and a Yepp-compatible rack. I am proud to say that the last time I drove my car, I found a spider web on the windshield.

Well, we have pretty well adopted our Spicy fully into our lives! It happened so fast! We already have about 200 miles on it in less than a month and we were gone for two weeks! So far it has obviously been hauling our two kids around everywhere. My wife and kiddos love riding it. Swim lessons, grocery store, breakfast, ice cream, the beach, you name it and if it’s local we are doing it by bike. My wife and I used to ride plenty before kids but it slowed down when we didn’t have a great bike solution for both. But now with this Spicy Curry we are really getting around! I wish we could buy a second one. I use it for riding to work and errands. It is great to arrive to work refreshed but not sweaty from the ride. You can make it as easy or difficult as you want. So, I usually push it a little harder on the way home for a bit of a workout since I can hit the shower! I have attached a couple of fun photos. One that all of our friends liked was the photo of a 40 pound bag of dog food on the back. The bike makes that bag look tiny! One thing that we need to figure out is a bag solution so we can more easily haul groceries. We will have to save up for a bit to afford the 2 Go Cargo Bags. Another fun photo that gets a ton of attention is when we load for the beach. On the Spicy is my wife, two kids, two beach chairs, a quick shelter, and, beach toys! It looks pretty awesome. Some of our friends ask, “Why is she the one riding the big bike?” Ummmm, because we about fight over who gets to ride it! HA. We ride it all over Newport Beach and Costa Mesa. I did join the aficionado program because we are stopped everywhere we go with questions about it. I have even had my photo taken several times by strangers. Some ask permission some don’t. I don’t mind, it’s just funny when they try to sneak a shot in without you noticing! HAHA! Oh, the Spicy has literally stopped traffic……twice! Once, it was a mom wanting to ask me all about it. The second was a professional race car builder that wanted to look at the design and the welds closer. How funny. Oh, don’t forget beer runs. A small cooler straps right on the back and holds a 12 pack with ease. Friends beg to go on beer runs when they are over at our place just as an excuse to ride it. We do let all of our friends ride it. Everyone has the exact same reaction. They start to giggle and they say “THIS IS CRAZY!” We both work in education. My wife is a teacher and I work for the district. So, we aren’t exactly swimming in money and riding the bike more and saving money on gas is something that is very exciting for our little family! One last funny note. I park it inside where I work. My co-workers say I need to setup an ipad on a stand for other workers that have questions because I get pulled out 2 or 3 times a day to talk about it. Pretty funny. Anyway, we are truly loving it.

Really such an amazing bike , I like it.
Spicy Curry Bosch is one of the few purchases that brings—and keeps bringing—joy to our whole family. It is a perfect family vehicle. It gets us where we’re going and makes getting there a lot more fun.
I didn’t consider myself an avid cyclist, but when I started looking for a way to take my kids on a bike to school and around town with me, I was encouraged by our local bike shop (SloHi Bicycles in Denver) to test-ride the Spicy Curry. One ride and I was hooked! I went back with my three kids to see if I was brave enough to ride it with all of them. It was amazing! The Bosch electric assist makes it easy to pedal all three kids plus goodies in the bread basket up all the hills. And as time continues, my confidence continues to grow in cycling all around town with all the kids. Our family loves the bike, and my three daughters can’t wait to ride it to and from school every day and around town for errands. This has now become one of our favorite family activities – biking on the Spicy Curry!
My 22-month old son and I cleared the 1,000 mile mark on our Spicy Curry last week. We ride it about 10 miles every day (5 miles each way) over a hilly commute where I drop him at daycare on the way to my office. Do we love riding our Spicy Curry? When I walk in to pick my son up at daycare, he often yells “Ride a bike! Glasses on! Helmet on!”
I’ve been commuting by bike for many years, but when we had our son, I started looking for cargo bike options. It took a while to convince ourselves to buy the Spicy Curry because of the price, but ultimately decided that since we were dedicated to riding consistently, we didn’t want to make any of the sacrifices that were required for some of the cheaper bikes. I particularly like having the smaller wheel in the back to lower the center of gravity with my precious cargo on the back. There’s also plenty of room to add a second child, though unfortunately, you can’t use the monkey bars with two Yepp seats (something that a competitor bike can do). This is strange because there’s plenty of space in the rear to put two seats and bars (my kid likes to hold on to them), but they designed the bars in a way that it won’t work.
The stock tires have been great, with no flats over 1,000 miles. The hydraulic disc brakes work really well. The bike is quite heavy, but it’s easy to stop quickly on a steep downhill while traveling at high speed. The double-kick stand (purchased as an add-on) is really nice and it’s nice that when it’s down you can pivot the bike forward or backwards to be able to rotate either wheel. This is important so you can lube your chain or put air in the tires easily since the bike is too heavy for me to lift onto a repair stand by myself.
The lights that run on the Bosch battery are nice to have for a little added visibility, but they don’t serve as much beyond daytime running lights; they’re simply not very bright and the rear light doesn’t have a blinking option. I’ve added much better lights on the bike in addition to the ones that run off of the Bosch battery.
The Bosch motor works great. We usually ride in sport mode (the second-highest setting) and can solidly make it two round-trips (20 miles total) on our hilly commute with the 400 W-h battery, which is nice in case we forget to plug in. The motor is pretty quiet, though not silent (my Copenhagen wheel is completely silent). The torque-based pedal-assist is very smooth and riding up steep hills is a breeze.
We only had one major issue early when the chain fell off the upper pulley and quickly damaged the frame due to a design flaw. Our local bike shop took care of us. Fortunately, Yuba has finally acknowledged that this is an issue and is putting metal chain guards on all the Spicy Currys now, so I can now feel comfortable recommending this bike that we otherwise love.
I adore my Spicy Curry Bosch! The ability to get around town quickly with both kids and additional cargo is amazing. I definitely bike more now that I have the pedal assist to help me out. The only downsides to this bike for me is how heavy and bulky it is to get around. Getting through a door, for example, is can be tricky and is not a one person job. Overall, great purchase. My husband and I use the bike with the kids on a daily basis.
