Xtracycle Hopper Electric Cargo Bike

Compact Cargo Bike for Errands, School Runs, and Small-Space Living

The Xtracycle Hopper is a compact longtail cargo bike that delivers real hauling capacity in the footprint of a regular bicycle. At 72" total length and a 22.5" standover, it's short enough to maneuver through crowded bike racks, store in an apartment hallway, or fit four across a single car parking space — while still carrying up to 500 lb of rider, passenger, and cargo on its 4130-equivalent aluminum frame. Xtracycle designed the Hopper around the daily trips most families actually make: preschool drop-off, grocery runs, farmers market hauls, and the quick errands that used to mean driving.

A 48V 750W Xtracycle rear hub motor with integrated torque sensor provides smooth, responsive pedal assist, and a quick-start throttle gives you an extra hand when pulling away from a stop under load. The 720Wh downtube battery, SunTour cargo-rated suspension fork, 174 Hudson hydraulic disc brakes, and triple-walled 20" wheels with Kenda Kwick anti-puncture tires are all sized for the weight a cargo bike actually carries. The bike ships with the Hooptie passenger rails, PorterRack front rack, footrests, double-leg kickstand, and composite fenders already included — ready to carry one child seat plus one older passenger the day it arrives.
