It gives you a generous front cargo box, proper child carrying setup and the kind of Bosch support that makes Wellington hills feel much less like a personal attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis configuration comes with the Bosch Cargo Line smart system motor, 625 Wh PowerTube battery, Shimano CUES 10-speed derailleur drivetrain, Double child seat, Buggy weather protection and rear carrier. In plain terms, it is set up for school runs, daycare drop-offs, groceries, weekend missions and replacing a lot of car trips with one very capable bike.\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\u003eBike type\u003c\/strong\u003e Electric front-loading family cargo bike\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest use\u003c\/strong\u003e School runs, groceries, errands, family transport and city commuting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotor\u003c\/strong\u003e Bosch Cargo Line smart system\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBattery\u003c\/strong\u003e Bosch PowerTube 625 Wh\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrivetrain\u003c\/strong\u003e Shimano CUES 10-speed derailleur gear\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCargo setup\u003c\/strong\u003e Double child seat with Buggy weather protection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0 0 6px 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrakes\u003c\/strong\u003e Tektro Auriga Comp HD-500 hydraulic disc brakes\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 Packster2 70 FAMILY is for people who want the confidence of a front-loader, not just a bike with a big rack on the back. The load sits in front of you, so passengers and cargo are easy to keep an eye on. That matters when your morning includes small humans, lunchboxes, rain jackets, forgotten library books and the odd emotional negotiation outside the front door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bosch Cargo Line motor is the right sort of support for a bike like this. It is built around carrying weight, climbing hills and making loaded starts feel more controlled. That is especially useful around Wellington, where a “short trip” can still involve a steep street, a headwind and a child asking why you are breathing funny.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 625 Wh battery gives this build a good riding margin for daily family use. Range will still depend on rider, terrain, assist level, wind, load, tyre pressure and how often you ask the motor to do the heavy lifting, but this is a sensible battery size for a proper cargo bike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 24px 0 10px 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eBest for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a strong option for families who want one bike to handle school runs, daycare, groceries and regular urban trips. It suits riders who like the stable feel of a front box and want passengers or cargo where they can see them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also makes sense if you are trying to replace a second car, reduce short car trips or make family transport feel less like parking admin with a steering wheel attached.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 24px 0 10px 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eWhat makes this build different\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis configuration is the FAMILY model with Double child seat and Buggy weather protection. That makes it much more ready for real family use straight away, rather than being a bare cargo platform that still needs the important passenger bits added later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Shimano CUES drivetrain is a practical choice for a cargo bike because it is made with longer-lasting Linkglide components than many standard entry-level drivetrains. On a loaded e-bike, that matters. Cargo bikes work hard, especially on hills, so drivetrain durability is not just a spec sheet detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mixed wheel setup, with a 20 inch front wheel and 26 inch rear wheel, helps keep the cargo area lower while still giving the bike a stable, familiar ride from the rear. The Suntour Mobie 34 CGO Boost suspension fork adds comfort and control over rough roads, raised crossings and everyday bumps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 24px 0 10px 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Packster2 70 FAMILY has a 200 kg gross vehicle weight rating. That total includes the bike, rider, passengers, cargo and accessories. The rear carrier is rated to 27 kg, and this model is listed as compatible with a child seat on the carrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 249 cm long and 41.1 kg, this is a proper cargo bike. It is not the one to choose if you need to carry it up stairs or squeeze it into a tiny hallway. It is the one to choose if you want stable, useful carrying capacity and have somewhere sensible to park it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes with useful everyday equipment already fitted, including mudguards, front and rear lights, rear MIK carrier, kickstand, ABUS Shield X+ frame lock and RX hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 24px 0 10px 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eChoose this if\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the Packster2 70 FAMILY if you want a serious family front-loader with strong hill support, proper weather protection and room for real daily cargo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose a longtail cargo bike if you want something shorter, easier to store and more familiar to ride, especially if most of your loads are passengers rather than bulky gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose a smaller compact cargo bike if storage space is tight or you mostly need to carry one child, groceries and everyday bits rather than a full front-loading setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 24px 0 10px 0; font-size: 18px;\"\u003eOur take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Packster2 70 FAMILY is one of those bikes that makes the car start to feel a bit overqualified for local life. It is big, capable and properly set up for families from the start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Wellington riders, the appeal is pretty simple: strong Bosch cargo support for hills, a useful 625 Wh battery, proper passenger gear, weather protection and enough carrying capacity for the messy reality of family transport. School bags, groceries, jackets, small people, snacks. All the glamorous stuff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have the storage space and want a genuine car-replacing family cargo bike, this is a very strong place to start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Riese \u0026 Müller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48365848068288,"sku":"F01651-02","price":12839.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0791\/1071\/files\/F01651_Pac2_70_Fam_White_Buggy.png?v=1780633958","url":"https:\/\/www.bicyclejunction.co.nz\/products\/riese-muller-packster2-70-family-white","provider":"Bicycle Junction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
