The Spicy Curry AT is Yuba’s longtail cargo e-bike built for adventures beyond pavement. It’s a true car-replacement rig for school runs and grocery missions, but it’s also the one you can point at a gravel track, load up for a weekend, and keep rolling.
All-Terrain means comfort and control when the road gets rough. A front suspension fork and Cane Creek Thudbuster seatpost smooth out the hits, while chunky Schwalbe Smart Sam tyres add grip and confidence on dirt and broken back roads.
Power comes from the Bosch Cargo Line Speed system, delivering up to 85 Nm of torque for easy hill starts even when fully loaded. And with a top assist speed of 45 km/h you'll be passing roadies casually while towing the fam.
The ride feel is the magic trick. Yuba’s Stay Steady Technology geometry keeps things planted and predictable, while the mixed wheel setup (26" front / 20" rear) lowers the centre of gravity so the bike stays nimble at low speeds and stable when it’s carrying precious cargo.
The AT is rated to carry up to 200 kg (including rider), and the longtail platform is ready for passengers, panniers, crates, tents, sleeping bags, and the whole “cargo bike camping” dream. Load it up and head out for a proper family mission.

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.
