The E-Bike Workshop

Cargo Setup Picker

Suggest a conservative cargo layout for the load and route.

A longtail electric cargo bike parked in a courtyard with panniers, a front basket, groceries, a child seat, helmets, a school backpack, and a folded rain cover.

Cargo setup is about predictable handling, not maximum load.

Use this picker before buying another accessory or adding a passenger.

Result

Adjust the fields to calculate a result.

How to use this tool

  1. Choose the load, weight, bike style, weather, and stop pattern.
  2. Read the result as a layout prompt, then check ratings and instructions.

What the result means

The result favors lower, centered, secured loads and warns when the setup needs manufacturer guidance.

Passenger and child-seat setups must follow product instructions and local rules.

Assumptions and limitations

The tool cannot know your rack rating, bike geometry, passenger rules, or handling skill.

When the bike wobbles, brakes poorly, or exceeds ratings, simplify the load.
