Its a cargo bike.
are those range estimates at full 450lbs load, or are they unloaded with a 90lbs rider?
My understanding is that range estimates are based on 150lb rider, flat ground, lowest assist setting. Ebike standards are pretty Wild West right now though, so that's worth a fart in a hurricane.
Yeah, I figured it'd be bullshit.
Especially with it being a "Cargo" bike. the range estimates are pretty much worthless for a dedicated cargo thing, if the range estimates are made under ideal conditions with no cargo.
I have an Aventon abound cargo bike, and I'm about 220 riding weight. On 2nd level assist (of four levels) which is where I ride 99% of the time, I get about 30 miles. Fairly flat terrain. I also ride on the fast side and I'm in decent mountain biking shape - that definitely matters, I almost never touch the throttle.
Most cargo I've had on it was around 150lb. No idea what the range reduction would have been but the bike handled just fine.
