Description
The Mini-Max is the middle child of the lot, with the best of both the Cargo and Mini. The shorter wheelbase makes it handle more like a normal bike, resulting in a tighter turn radius and increased manoeuvrability.
Though the rack lacks the horns seen on the Cargo, it retains extender bar compatibility, and can still take some pretty impressive loads!
The fact that the front wheel is positioned more in the middle of the rack is positive for steering and handling, while stability during heavy loads is slightly less than that of the Cargo.
The Mini-Max is for those who value snappier turns and a tighter parking spot, and aren‘t necessarily looking to max out hauling capabilities on the regular.
DESIGN
Omnium E-Mini-Max with integrated Shimano EP8 Cargo drive unit. The powerful Shimano EP8-CRG motor is strong enough to handle the steepest of hills with a load, yet intuitive enough to give you just the right amount of support every pedal stroke along the way. Designed specifically to give you that natural feel of riding a normal bike. The system weighs only 2.8kg, one of the lightest motors on the market. Stable, smooth intuitive power for improved bike handling over every part of your day. Solidly supports speeds up to 32 km/h.
Battery
Ultra-durable, replaceable, powerful battery specially designed for the rigors of cargo biking. Low profile design for improved impact and vibration resistance. High-capacity long-lasting Li-Ion battery of 504Wh to cover more territory. Supported travel up to 100 km on one charge. 1,000 charge cycles with no significant power loss.
Electronic Shifting
With the e-bike specific Nexus inter-5e hub we introduce electronic shifting on all e-bikes. This makes for easy and maintenance free gear shifting. The hub offers a 263% gear range with optional automatic shifting.
Gates Beltdrive
Extremely durable and maintenance free Gates Beltdrive drivetrain will make sure you won’t drop or break the chain due to the high torque of the drive unit. It will run smooth for thousands of km without having to grease it. Moreover, you won’t have oil on your drivetrain to smush your trousers or your hands when changing an inner tube or adjusting the rear wheel.

How to Choose the Right Cargo Bike
-
When you chat with us - whether in the shop or online - we’ll
usually start by asking two simple questions:Where do you ride? Do you tackle a big hill, cruise a long flat commute, or a bit of both?
What do you carry? Is it cargo, kids, or a mix of everything?
Big hills usually mean more power and stronger brakes. Long commutes might call for a high-speed option with a larger battery. Carrying kids or heavier gear means looking at stability and the right accessories.
It can feel overwhelming with so many models out there, but that also means there’s a perfect match for your lifestyle. We’ll help you find it - and you can take an extended test ride to make sure it really fits into your day-to-day.
If you want to explore yourself on our website, go to our cargo bike page and use the filters to narrow down your options based on how you answered the questions above.
-
Most longtail cargo bikes are set up to carry two kids on the back, like the Tern GSD or Specialized Porto. The popular Yuba Spicy Curry can carry three!
Front-loading cargo bikes can fit two or three passengers up front. Each bike can be customised with heaps of accessories -seats, footrests, baskets, rain covers - so we’ll help match the setup to your crew.
-
Non-electric cargo bikes are fine for flat, short trips with lighter loads. But if you’ve got hills, longer distances, or wriggly kids on board, an e-cargo bike will change your life. The motor takes the sting out of climbs, makes heavy loads manageable, and opens up bigger commutes without breaking a sweat.
-
Most e-cargo bikes will happily take you 40–80 km on a single charge. Your range depends on the terrain, assist level, and how much you’re carrying. Some models run dual batteries, which basically doubles your distance - handy for all-day missions.
-
Absolutely.
Cargo bikes are designed with families in mind. Add the right accessories - child seats, harnesses, rain covers - and they’re one of the safest, comfiest ways to get kids around town.
And the best part? Kids love the ride.
-
For a lot of families, yes.
Cargo bikes take care of school runs, shopping, work commutes, even weekend adventures. Many of our customers have sold their second cars and never looked back - some have even sold both! You can haul kids, groceries, pets, or gear without the fuel bills or parking headaches. Some households even call the cargo bike their “first car,” keeping the actual car for long trips and holidays.
