Considering that cargo e-bikes like the Retrospec Roo Rev XL are the workhorses of the e-bike world, it’s essential for them to feel comfortable and respond predictably to their riders input. After all, if you’re seeking a bike for errand running or family outings, you’re likely going to be spending a lot of time in the saddle.
With its capable and responsive 750W motor and torque sensor, an accommodating frame design, and wide, sturdy handlebars, the Roo Rev XL is off to a great start. In our first test rides, we noticed the bike’s responsive power delivery, its ease of mounting and dismounting, and its confident, predictable handling.
The bike’s 400-lb payload capacity, which includes up to 119 lbs on its high-vis
orange cargo rack, adds to its utility. When combined with optional accessories, such as storage baskets, child seats, or an optional trailer, the Roo Rev XL can be made suitable for work or play.
