Quick Answer
A cargo e-bike is made to carry things: its maker sells it as a cargo or utility bike, rates its rack, basket or rear seat for 100 lb (45 kg) or more, or says the frame is built for cargo; or it takes both a front and a rear basket, and for a moped-style or retro model or a trike a rear rack or basket is enough. Zeus eBikes Canada has 53 in stock, from $999 (Samebike CY20 Pro) to $6,499: 9 cargo trikes, 9 trikes with a smaller or unrated basket, 20 two-wheel cargo bikes and 15 moped-style or retro bikes, each with what it carries and the load its maker prints, shipped free across Canada. See every bike or call 1-866-938-7580.
What counts as a cargo e-bike
On a regular two-wheeler, a rear rack alone does not make a cargo bike. A bike is in the cargo groups below only if its maker’s own page, read between 31 October and 3 November 2026, shows one of these: it sells the bike as a cargo or utility bike, rates its rear rack, basket or rear seat for 100 lb (45 kg) or more, or says the frame is built for cargo; or the bike can take both a front and a rear basket, fitted or offered by its maker for that model. For a moped-style or retro model, and for any trike, a rear rack or rear basket is enough. The first three tests follow the screen our US sister store, RedTail eBikes, applies to its own shelf (“Rack-equipped is not cargo-built”); the basket rule is our own. Trikes with an unrated or smaller basket get their own group, because a third wheel and a basket are what many riders mean by a cargo trike, and so do the moped-style and retro bikes that qualify on a rear rack or basket.
Cargo bikes come in three shapes. A longtail stretches the frame behind the seat and rides closest to an ordinary bike; a front-loader carries a box ahead of the handlebars; a cargo trike adds a third wheel, so it stays upright when you stop, at the cost of width (RedTail’s frame guide). Zeus does not sell a front-load box bike: none of the e-bikes and trikes in our catalogue on 31 October is one. The nearest is the Addmotor SpytanX, which Addmotor sells as a “2 Front Wheel” trike with a front rack.
What to check: what the maker rates the rack or basket for, the total load and whether it counts the bike, the width against your door or gate, and the motor’s rated output. Every card below lists them as the maker prints them.
Every cargo e-bike in stock, with what it carries
The 53 bikes below are grouped by what they carry, cheapest first. Prices are live: each bike’s lowest price you can order today. “Why here” is the maker’s own reason the bike passes the screen above; “Load” is the maker’s figure, with both figures where the maker prints two. Each road-rules label compares the maker’s motor and speed figures with the provincial e-bike rules (how to read them).

Makers print load in three ways, so the same number can mean different things. Some print one total for you and your load. Addmotor splits it, as “159+45 KG” for the rider and the rear basket on the Grandtan II. Velotric’s owner’s manuals count the bike itself inside the total: the GoMad’s says “The total maximum weight capacity (including bike, rider, passenger, clothes, cargo, accessories) is 440 lbs.” RedTail eBikes gives the same advice: read the maker’s own figure for the specific bike, and where no rack rating is printed, plan against the total, less your own weight and what you wear (its payload section).
The load you can plan on, for each cargo bike in stock, highest first: the lowest figure its maker prints, in kilograms, with the bike’s own weight taken off where the maker counts it (that subtraction and the pound-to-kilogram conversions are our arithmetic).

To use it, count yourself in your riding clothes, the child and the seat or the passenger, and the bags. RedTail eBikes’ worked example: a 220 lb rider carrying a 45 lb child plus a 15 lb seat needs about 280 lb (127 kg) of payload (its seven-point checklist); the bags go on top of that. Then load low and forward, balance it side to side, use the stand the bike came with and brake early (its loading notes).
Carrying kids or a passenger
These are the bikes in stock whose makers name kids, passengers or a child-seat mount, in the makers’ words:
- Riding Times Z8 / Z8 Pro: Riding’times: “For added versatility and passenger comfort, the bike also comes with a complimentary extended seat”; its manual says “do not carry passengers on the bike” (the manual as a PDF, read 31 October 2026)
- Riding Times GT33: Riding’times lists “Extended seat and cargo space for gear, bags, or passengers”; its manual says “do not carry passengers on the bike”
- Tesway X7 Pro New: Tesway lists a child safety handrail among the accessories on its page and writes that the saddle “keeps you and your passenger pain-free”, while Tesway’s X7 PRO owner’s manual says the bike “is designed for regular country road use for a single person” (the manual as a PDF, read 1 November 2026)
- Tesway X7 AWD: Tesway sells a passenger seat (back seat, backrest and rear footpeg) and a child safety handrail fence “designed to fit children from 5-10 years old”, both listing the X7 AWD as compatible, while the owner’s manual Tesway supplies for the X5 and X7 AWD says the bike “is designed for regular country road use for a single person” (Tesway’s passenger seat and child safety fence pages and its manual as a PDF, read 1 November 2026)
- Tesway X5 AWD: Tesway sells a passenger seat (back seat, backrest and rear footpeg) and a child safety handrail fence “designed to fit children from 5-10 years old”, both listing the X5 AWD as compatible, while the owner’s manual Tesway supplies for the X5 and X7 AWD says the bike “is designed for regular country road use for a single person” (Tesway’s passenger seat and child safety fence pages and its manual as a PDF, read 1 November 2026)
- Velotric GoMad: Velotric rates its MIK HD rear rack at 80 kg, “built for passengers, kids, outdoor gear, and everyday errands”, and publishes a video on installing its Young Passenger Kit
- Velotric Nomad 2X: Velotric’s rear rack is “MIK HD-compatible, up to 54 kg load capacity”
- Addmotor Greattan L: a rear passenger seat with a seatbelt, 150 LBS / 68 KG in the rear; Addmotor: “perfect for transporting kids or elders”
The rules are provincial, so check yours before a child rides along. In Ontario, whoever owns or controls a power-assisted bicycle may not let anyone under 16 ride on it on a highway (Highway Traffic Act, s. 38(2)); whether that reaches the larger cargo e-bikes in Ontario’s pilot is not settled. That pilot lets a cargo e-bike carry another person only if it “was manufactured to carry passengers” and bars towing (O. Reg. 141/21, s. 8). In British Columbia, “A person under 16 years of age who is operating a motor assisted cycle on a highway must not use the cycle to carry or tow a passenger” (B.C. Reg. 64/2024, s. 10). Our e-bike laws in Canada page covers every province.
Cargo trike or two wheels?
A trike stays upright when you stop and carries its basket low behind you, which suits riders who would rather not balance a loaded bike; it is wider, so it needs a wider door, gate and parking spot. A two-wheel longtail rides closest to an ordinary bike and fits narrower gaps. Measure the door, the gate, the hallway and the lift before you order (RedTail’s frame guide).
Overall widths the makers print for the trikes in stock, narrowest first:
- Addmotor Citytri E-310: 28.3″ / 71.9 cm (29″ / 73.7 cm on the larger size)
- Addmotor Arisetan II (M-360): 31″ / 78.7 cm
- Addmotor Freetan M-368X: 31.9″ / 81cm
- Addmotor Grandtan X: 32.3″ / 82cm
- Addmotor Grandtan II (M-340): 32.3″ / 82 cm
- Meet One Breeze 2.0: 84 cm
- Addmotor Greattan L: 36.6″ / 93cm
- Addmotor SpytanX: 37.4″ / 95cm (34.1″ / 87cm on the other size)
These fold for storage or the car: Samebike CY20 Pro (880 × 490 × 700 mm without the basket), Samebike C05 Pro (1.11 × 0.62 × 0.99 m), Eunorau E-FAT-MN, Addmotor Citytri E-310 (115 × 86 × 72.9 cm), Meet One Breeze 2.0 (122 × 92 × 95 cm), Velotric Fold 1 Plus, Meet One Breeze Pro 2.0, Meigi Silverado HD, Addmotor SpytanX (104cm × 88cm × 80cm, saddle off) and Velotric Triker. Our electric trikes collection has every trike we sell, cargo or not.
The road rules: which of these can ride as an e-bike?
A basket does not change the rules; the motor and the speed do. Canada’s federal e-bike definition was repealed effective February 4, 2021 (SOR/2020-22), and the provincial e-bike rules converge on a motor rated 500W or less, assistance that stops at 32 km/h and working pedals. Each province adds its own rules, and Newfoundland and Labrador’s Act has no e-bike definition. A bike rated over 500W is outside every provincial e-bike rule, so no province lets it ride roads, bike lanes or paths as an e-bike. We count two motors together, as the rules that address it do, so two 500W motors read as 1,000W.
Ontario also runs a pilot for cargo e-bikes that weigh more than 55 kg, carry a platform, basket or container and have a motor of up to 1,000 W (O. Reg. 141/21, in force until 1 March 2031); where they may ride depends on the road and the municipality, which our Ontario cargo e-bike pilot page sets out.
Zeus sells 500W models with a factory 32 km/h limit as well as models over 500W. Of the 53 cargo bikes above, 12 are inside 500W / 32 km/h as shipped; 4 inside 500W as shipped with a speed cap the maker says can change; 4 factory-limited to 500W output (the maker also prints higher figures); 29 over 500W rated or with a printed top speed over 32 km/h, which we sell off-road; 4 with no rated output printed. Check the rules in your province and municipality before public-road use: e-bike laws in Canada, by province.

Frequently asked questions
What is a cargo electric bike?
An e-bike made to carry things: its maker sells it as a cargo or utility bike, rates its rear rack, basket or rear seat for 100 lb (45 kg) or more, or says the frame is built for cargo; or it can take both a front and a rear basket, fitted or offered by its maker for that model. For a moped-style or retro model, and for any trike, a rear rack or rear basket is enough. On a regular two-wheeler a rear rack alone does not make one; that is also the line our US sister store, RedTail eBikes, draws (its cargo e-bike guide). The classic cargo shapes are the longtail, the front-loader and the cargo trike. Zeus eBikes Canada has 53 in stock: 9 cargo trikes, 9 trikes with a smaller or unrated basket, 20 two-wheel cargo bikes and 15 moped-style or retro bikes.
How much weight can a cargo e-bike carry?
It depends on what the maker’s figure counts. Velotric’s owner’s manuals count the bike inside the total, Addmotor splits the rider from the rear basket (“159+45 KG” on the Grandtan II), and other makers print one number without saying. On the load you can plan on (the lowest figure each maker prints, less the bike where the maker counts it), the most here is the Meet One Tour 2.0, about 250 kg (550 lbs as printed); every cargo bike’s figure is listed above. Count yourself in riding clothes, any passenger or child and seat, and the bags, and stay under the figure.
Which cargo e-bike is best for carrying kids?
Start with the ones whose makers name kids or passengers: the Riding Times Z8 / Z8 Pro, the Riding Times GT33, the Tesway X7 Pro New, the Tesway X7 AWD, the Tesway X5 AWD, the Velotric GoMad, the Velotric Nomad 2X and the Addmotor Greattan L (their words are above). Then check your province: in Ontario, whoever owns or controls a power-assisted bicycle may not let anyone under 16 ride on it on a highway (Highway Traffic Act, s. 38(2)), and in British Columbia an operator under 16 must not carry or tow a passenger (B.C. Reg. 64/2024, s. 10).
Can I put a child seat on a cargo e-bike?
On a rack rated for it. Add the seat and the child, and keep the total under the rack’s own rating as well as the bike’s. The bikes here whose makers name kids, passengers or a child-seat mount: the Riding Times Z8 / Z8 Pro, the Riding Times GT33, the Tesway X7 Pro New, the Tesway X7 AWD, the Tesway X5 AWD, the Velotric GoMad, the Velotric Nomad 2X and the Addmotor Greattan L (their words are above). For any other bike, read the maker’s manual before you fit a seat.
Can a cargo e-bike carry an adult passenger?
Only one built for it, and only where your province allows it. In Ontario’s cargo e-bike pilot, a cargo e-bike may carry another person only if it “was manufactured to carry passengers” (O. Reg. 141/21, s. 8(2)). The bikes here whose makers name a passenger or kids: the Riding Times Z8 / Z8 Pro, the Riding Times GT33, the Tesway X7 Pro New, the Tesway X7 AWD, the Tesway X5 AWD, the Velotric GoMad, the Velotric Nomad 2X and the Addmotor Greattan L (their words are above). More two-seat options: our 2-seater electric bikes.
Does a cargo e-bike come with a basket or a rack?
Each card above says what comes with the bike and what its maker rates it for, in the maker’s words, under “Carries”. Most trikes here ship with a rear basket; some are rated (100 lb or more on the cargo trikes) and some are not. Extra baskets, racks and bags: our accessories.
Should I get a cargo trike or a two-wheel cargo bike?
A trike stays upright when you stop, which suits riders who would rather not balance a loaded bike; it is wider and needs more room to park. A two-wheel longtail rides closest to an ordinary bike and fits narrower gaps (RedTail eBikes’ frame guide). By the widths their makers print, the trikes here run from the Addmotor Citytri E-310 (71.9 cm) to the Addmotor SpytanX (95 cm). Measure your door, gate and hallway first.
Will a cargo trike fit through my door, and do any fold?
Compare your doorway with the width each maker prints: from the Addmotor Citytri E-310 (71.9 cm) to the Addmotor SpytanX (95 cm). These fold: Samebike CY20 Pro (880 × 490 × 700 mm without the basket), Samebike C05 Pro (1.11 × 0.62 × 0.99 m), Eunorau E-FAT-MN, Addmotor Citytri E-310 (115 × 86 × 72.9 cm), Meet One Breeze 2.0 (122 × 92 × 95 cm), Velotric Fold 1 Plus, Meet One Breeze Pro 2.0, Meigi Silverado HD, Addmotor SpytanX (104cm × 88cm × 80cm, saddle off) and Velotric Triker. The trike section above lists every width.
What is the cheapest cargo e-bike at Zeus?
Right now it is the Samebike CY20 Pro, at $999. Under $2,000: Samebike CY20 Pro ($999), Samebike RS-A01 Pro-T ($1,199), Smartravel Explorer DK400 ($1,199), Riding Times Z8 / Z8 Pro ($1,199), Riding Times GT33 ($1,399), Samebike C05 Pro ($1,399), Eunorau E-FAT-MN ($1,599), Smartravel Rocket ST201F ($1,599), Meigi Hera ($1,799), YVY C22 ($1,799), Addmotor Citytri E-310 ($1,899) and Smartravel Raptor ST202 ($1,999). Prices are live and include free shipping across Canada.
Are cargo e-bikes legal in Canada?
A cargo e-bike follows the same provincial e-bike rules as any e-bike: they converge on a motor rated 500W or less, assistance that stops at 32 km/h and working pedals; each province adds its own rules, and Newfoundland and Labrador’s Act has no e-bike definition. Ontario also runs a pilot for cargo e-bikes that weigh more than 55 kg, carry a platform, basket or container and have a motor of up to 1,000 W (O. Reg. 141/21, in force until 1 March 2031); our Ontario cargo e-bike pilot page explains where they may ride. Of the 53 cargo bikes here, 12 are inside 500W / 32 km/h as shipped; each card has its own label.
Can I tow a trailer, or should I buy a cargo trailer instead?
A trailer lets a bike you already own carry more, but RedTail eBikes points out that it jackknifes when you reverse and makes the bike wider, while a longtail keeps the load inside its wheelbase (its trailer comparison). Built to tow, by their makers: the Velotric Nomad 2X (Velotric: “towing strength up to 454 kg”) and the Addmotor Grandtan X (Addmotor: “it supports a trailer”). Zeus sells Eunorau’s cargo e-bike trailer for the Eunorau bikes its listing names. Under Ontario’s cargo e-bike pilot, a cargo e-bike may not tow (O. Reg. 141/21, s. 8(3)).
Can I carry my dog on a cargo e-bike?
Makers that mention pets for bikes here: the Velotric Triker, “Haul groceries, gear, or even pets”, with a 54 kg rear basket and the Meet One Tour 2.0, a 200 lbs rear for “groceries, fishing gear, camping equipment, or even a pet crate”. Weigh the dog and its crate or carrier together and keep them under the rear rating on the bike’s card; Addmotor also lists a pet carrier among the accessories on its trike pages.
Which cargo e-bike is best for hills?
Look at the motor’s rated output and torque on each card, and plan on carrying less up the steepest grades. A mid-drive motor multiplies torque through the gears and helps more on sustained hills (RedTail eBikes, its cargo e-bike questions). Bikes rated over 500W are sold here for off-road use; the road-rules label on each card says which.
Can I ride a cargo e-bike in a Canadian winter?
Yes, with two habits. Cold cuts usable battery capacity, so plan a loaded winter trip with about a third of the watt-hours held back (RedTail eBikes, rain and winter). And charge indoors: Velotric’s owner’s manuals say its batteries won’t charge below 32°F (0°C) and should be charged at 50–86°F (10–30°C). 39 of the cargo bikes here ride on fat tires, which RedTail notes float over slush better than narrow ones.
Are electric cargo bikes worth it?
For the trips you would otherwise drive, such as the school run, groceries and errands, often yes; match the bike’s load and battery to your real routine. RedTail eBikes calls a trailer “the cheaper first experiment” if you already own a capable e-bike (its comparison). If you only carry a bag now and then, a regular e-bike with a rack may be enough: our e-bike collection.
