THE HIGGS CARGO
The Kei Truck of E-Bikes
Size is deceptive. The Higgs Cargo fits in a studio apartment hallway but hauls 440 lbs of life—more payload than our standard cargo model. This is industrial strength in a compact footprint. The 15.5-inch ultra-low aluminum frame with marine-grade bamboo decking and 20-inch fat tires delivers low-center-gravity physics that keeps you planted under load. Class 2 throttle means effortless hill climbing when fully loaded. IPX6 water-resistant battery. It's the density of capability that makes it the ultimate urban tool. No apologies. No wasted space.

FROM PROBLEM TO SOLUTION
Chassis & Payload
440lb Compact Platform
The Higgs Cargo defies physics. It hauls more payload (440 lbs) than our standard cargo model—in a frame so compact it fits apartment living. This isn't bulk; this is density.
-
440lb Combined Capacity – Carry 2 passengers or haul a week's worth of groceries, camping gear, sports equipment—in a package that doesn't demand a garage.
-
Ultra-Strong Aluminum Chassis – Marine-grade durability; engineered for structural integrity under load; compact construction doesn't mean compromise.
-
Marine-Grade Bamboo Decking – Luxury material that looks premium and delivers natural grip; comfortable for passengers; durable in all weather.
Frame Geometry
15.5" Ultra-Low Entry
Universal accessibility isn't a luxury feature—it's engineering. The 15.5-inch step-over means anyone can mount and dismount with ease, even with cargo or passengers on board.
-
15.5" Step-Over Height – The lowest entry point in our cargo lineup; mount and dismount with dignity, in any outfit, any time.
-
Compact Length (68 inches) – Fits in apartment hallways, studio storage, car racks; doesn't demand a garage or outdoor shed.
-
Extended Running Boards – Bamboo-inlaid footrests; safe passenger mounting; comfortable seating for children or adults.
Powertrain
52V High-Torque System
When you're hauling 440 lbs uphill in a compact frame, the 52V system delivers. High-voltage efficiency engineered for cargo work—not play.
-
52V Advantage – High-voltage efficiency for cargo hauling; stronger acceleration than standard systems; hill-climbing muscle even when fully loaded.
-
750W Rear Hub Motor – Reliable, responsive torque delivery; tuned for cargo stability and control.
-
780Wh Capacity with IPX6 Rating – 30–60 mile range depending on load and terrain; water-resistant for all-weather reliability.
Water-Resistance & All-Weather Capability
IPX6 Battery System
This is the spec that transforms a cargo bike into a car replacement. The IPX6 water-resistant battery.
-
IPX6 Water-Resistant Rating – Ride without battery anxiety; no separate protection needed.
-
Year-Round Reliability – Water resistance means consistent performance in all weather; winter commutes become viable.
-
System Powered – Always charged; integrated with main battery; no separate management.
Drivetrain & Control
7-Speed Mechanical Advantage
The Higgs Cargo gives you gear range to find the perfect pedaling rhythm under load—especially crucial in compact cargo applications.
-
7-Speed Shimano Drivetrain – Flexibility to climb hills with 440lbs; ability to descend safely with cargo; pedaling efficiency on extended hauling days.
-
Low Gear Ratios – Flatten inclines ; maintain power when fully loaded; preserve range on longer cargo runs.
-
Smooth Transitions – Proven Shimano reliability; low maintenance compared to electronic shifting.
Braking System
4-Piston Heavy Duty
440 pounds in a compact frame demands commercial-grade stopping power. The Tektro 4-piston hydraulic brakes deliver.
4-Piston Calipers – Industrial-strength stopping power in wet, dry, and variable conditions; confidence at 20 MPH with full load.
Hydraulic Modulation – Smooth, progressive braking; minimal hand effort required even with extended cargo weight.
Safety First – Consistent performance whether cruising empty or descending with maximum payload; no fade under sustained braking.
Tires & Stability
20" Low-Gravity Base
The Kei Truck secret: smaller wheels sit lower to the ground, keeping your center of gravity planted under load. This isn't cute—it's physics.
20" x 4" Fat Tires – Lower center of gravity with cargo; exceptional grip on all terrain; compact footprint.
Low-Center-Gravity Physics – Smaller wheels + extended wheelbase = stability even with maximum payload; vehicle-like planted feel.
Mixed Terrain Capability – Gravel, sand, wet pavement, light trails—handles all surfaces with confidence.
