Is this the best $2,000 family cargo e-bike right now? In my Retrospec Rev Roo XL review (2025), I test this long-tail hauler’s 750W / 85Nm motor, torque sensor, and 700Wh LG battery to see if the beach-cruiser brand secretly built a serious 400-lb cargo rig. We cover range tests, hill power, braking with load, stability, and whether the UL 2849 / UL 2271 certifications make it a safer pick for hauling kids.
What you’ll learn
– Real-world range results (PAS 1 & max assist) and charging on/off the bike
– Motor feel: torque sensor smoothness, starts with passengers, hill performance
– Handling & comfort: hydroformed frame stability, 3” tires, 80mm suspension
– Stopping power: Tektro hydros with 203mm rear / 180mm front rotors
– Safety bits that matter: auto lights, turn signals, brake lights, UL certifications
– Who it’s for (and who should consider a different cargo bike)
Key specs
– Class 3 (up to 28 mph) • 750W rear hub (1,150W peak), 85Nm
– 700Wh (48V 14.6Ah) LG cells • up to 75 miles advertised
– 400-lb payload • 20×3″ tires • 7-speed Shimano
– UL 2849 (system) • UL 2271 (battery) • IPX6 bike / IPX7 battery
– MSRP: $1,999 • Weight: ~72 lbs • Rack rated 60 lbs (plus passenger setups)
Who should buy it
– Parents & haulers wanting stable, quiet power with UL certification
– Riders who value natural pedal feel (torque sensor) over on/off cadence surge
– Anyone replacing short car trips with a confident, budget-friendly cargo bike
