Yuba Spicy Curry: a practical longtail for Wellington life.
Bicycle Junction is proud to carry the Yuba Spicy Curry. It is a useful alternative to the car for school runs, shopping and the awkward loads that somehow turn up in everyday life. The low rear load area helps keep passengers and cargo close to the ground, while Bosch motor support takes some of the effort out of the hills.
The current Spicy Curry V4
The Yuba Spicy Curry V4 brings the familiar longtail layout up to date with Bosch's Smart System, front suspension and an integrated 500 Wh battery. Our listed build uses the Bosch Cargo Line motor, a Microshift 9-speed drivetrain and Magura hydraulic disc brakes.
The suspension fork takes the edge off rough streets, and the 20-inch rear wheel helps keep the load low. It is still a substantial cargo bike, so a test ride is the best way to see how it fits you, your parking space and your usual route.
V4 or CLS?
We also list the Spicy Curry CLS. This is the earlier Bosch Cargo Line platform, rather than the V4 Smart System bike. It remains worth comparing if it suits your budget and carrying needs. Check the individual product pages for the exact build and current availability; specifications and accessories are not identical across generations.
Set it up for what you carry
A good cargo bike setup starts with the passengers or loads you actually have. Child seats, passenger rails, foot support and wheel protection need to be compatible with the model and suitable for the passenger. Keep within the bike's rider, cargo and total limits, as well as every accessory's own rating. Passenger space alone does not tell you how much the bike can safely carry.
For a business, the same approach applies: work out the load, how it will be secured and the hills on your route. Battery range depends on load, terrain, weather and assistance level, so leave some margin rather than relying on a headline range.
