In the world of cargo biking, where the demands of daily life intersect with the promise of eco-friendly transportation, there’s a new player that’s turning the gears of innovation. The Maven Cargo E-bike is a quiet revolution in cargo biking designed with a singular focus — to make it accessible and comfortable for women and shorter riders.

The Maven Cargo E-bike isn’t just a mode of transportation; it emerges as a strategic response to a persistent challenge that has long confronted some cargo biking enthusiasts offering users a more stable and user-friendly option.

The Maven’s thoughtful design focuses on the needs of women. At its core is the Low Center of Gravity rear rack. This innovative design is where the magic happens. Positioned just above the back wheel, it places your precious cargo significantly below your waist, where the female center of gravity naturally resides.

Of course, it isn’t like it’s the only cargo bike with low entry and a design that is more accessible for a wider range of people, for instance the Tern HSD. But it’s still nice that brand’s are pushing design options for a wider range of riders with recommend height range of 5’0″ to 6’3″.

Control and Stability

The result? An unprecedented sense of control and stability. Maven has taken every element into account – the tire size, battery location, and frame design – to ensure that the rear rack sits less than 24 inches off the ground. It’s just above the average female knee, well below the center of gravity, creating a ride that’s confident and relaxed, even when your cargo is substantial.

Founder Laura Belmar’s insistence on 20-inch wheels might seem like a detail, but it’s the kind of detail that seems to define the Maven experience. Larger wheels, commonly found on cargo bikes, inadvertently raise the center of gravity, making it a challenge for shorter riders to carry their cargo comfortably. Maven’s commitment to this principle is unwavering, and they’ve paired it with 3-inch wide fat tires, ensuring stability on uneven terrain. These tires act as an insurance policy, promising a smoother, safer ride.

Two batteries. That’s what the Maven comes equipped with, as standard. This double-battery feature gives you an impressive range of 80+ miles. No more last-minute scrambles for an alternative ride just because you forgot to charge. It’s peace of mind for families with kids, and adventurers who want to roam without restrictions.

But the Maven isn’t just about women; it’s also about families. It’s a bike that caters to the diverse needs of households with kids and those seeking versatility in their cargo biking experience. You can fit up to 2 Thule Yepp Maxi Child Seats and choose from a range of accessories like seat pads and safety railings. It’s customization that ensures your Maven is tailored to your lifestyle.

Maven Motor

Tackling hills and different terrains is no longer an uphill battle with the Maven’s 750-watt hub drive motor. To ensure a smooth ride, the adjustable front suspension adapts to the terrain. It can be set to stiff or full travel, or anywhere in between, to match your preference.

Safety is paramount when you’re transporting precious cargo. Maven doesn’t compromise on that front. It’s equipped with hydraulic disc brakes, turn signals, and brake lights. The turn signals not only make your ride safer but also allow you to keep both hands on the handlebars for added stability.

For those who seek extra peace of mind, Maven offers a Smart Security upgrade for just $300. This feature includes 24/7 location tracking and a motion-sensitive alarm system.

Maven lets you enhance your biking experience with a range of accessories such as child railings, and seat pads.

The Maven Cargo E-bike is rewriting the rules of cargo biking. It’s designed for women and shorter riders, making cargo biking an enjoyable and hassle-free experience. It’s a new perspective on what cargo biking can be.
