This configuration adds the 725 Wh battery, Kiox 300 display, suspension seatpost and Family kit, so it is set up with Wellington hills, wind and child-carrying duties in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; border-radius: 12px; padding: 18px 20px; background: #f7f7f5; margin: 24px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e Riese \u0026amp; Müller Carrie2 vario\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e Anise\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame size\u003c\/strong\u003e Universal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotor\u003c\/strong\u003e Bosch Performance Line PX\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBattery\u003c\/strong\u003e Bosch PowerPack 725 Wh\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGearing\u003c\/strong\u003e Enviolo 380 continuous hub gear\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrive\u003c\/strong\u003e Gates CDX belt drive\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay\u003c\/strong\u003e Bosch Kiox 300\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSetup\u003c\/strong\u003e Family kit, suspension seatpost with cover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 24px 0 10px 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eWhy we like it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Carrie2 makes a lot of sense for Wellington because it keeps the useful part of a cargo bike, the front box, while staying short enough for tight streets, awkward parking spots and small storage spaces. It is the cargo bike for people who want the capability, but do not want to feel like they are piloting a ferry down Cuba Street.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bosch Performance Line PX motor gives strong hill support for loaded riding, while the 725 Wh battery adds extra riding margin for longer commutes, headwinds, higher assist use and carrying kids or cargo. Range will still depend on rider, load, assist level, terrain, wind, tyre choice and tyre pressure, but this is the battery option we would want if the bike is doing proper daily work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Enviolo hub and Gates CDX belt are the right match for an everyday cargo bike. You get simple twist-shift gearing, a clean belt drive and reduced drivetrain wear compared with a chain. Brakes, tyres and regular servicing still matter, because cargo bikes work hard, but this setup makes day-to-day ownership easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 24px 0 10px 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eBest for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin: 0 0 18px 20px; padding: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchool runs with younger kids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGroceries, daycare bags, work gear and daily errands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiders who want a front-loader but have limited storage space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWellington hills, wind and stop-start city riding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShared family use, thanks to the universal frame and adjustable cockpit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 24px 0 10px 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Carrie2 can carry up to two children up to the age of seven, depending on setup and local child-carrying rules. As always with cargo bikes, the real limit is set by the bike, the accessory setup and the total load, not just by what physically fits in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated ABUS lock is useful for quick stops, but a bike at this value deserves a serious second lock for longer public parking. Think good D-lock or chain, good lighting, and somewhere with line of sight. Make the bike annoying to steal. That is the whole game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt around 35.7 kg before optional accessories, this is still a proper cargo e-bike. It rides compact, but it is not a bike you want to carry up stairs every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 24px 0 10px 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eWho it might not suit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose a larger front-loader if you regularly need to carry older kids, bulkier loads or bigger family cargo. Choose a longtail if you want passengers behind you and a narrower front end. Choose the Carrie2 if compact storage, front-box access and city handling matter more than maximum load space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 24px 0 10px 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eOur take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Carrie2 vario is one of the more sensible ways into a proper family cargo bike if space is tight. It is not trying to be the biggest hauler in the room. It is trying to be the one you actually use every day, for school bags, groceries, small passengers, Wellington hills and the sort of errands that quietly replace car trips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Riese \u0026 Müller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48478198661312,"sku":"F01571-01","price":13625.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0791\/1071\/files\/26_F01571_Carrie2_Vario_Aqua_CargoKit_bySchulz_2111-2.jpg?v=1770157930","url":"https:\/\/www.bicyclejunction.co.nz\/products\/riese-muller-carrie2-aqua","provider":"Bicycle Junction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
