Carryish Scores
The Carryish Take
Fits in an elevator. Hauls two kids and a Costco run. The Bosch Cargo Line motor has 85Nm of torque, which means hills with a full load aren't a problem. Tern's accessory system is the deepest in the game — kid seats, panniers, front racks, rain covers, all designed to click in without tools. At $5,300 it's not cheap, but families who ride daily will use it like a second car.

What reviewers say
8.5/10 avgWirecutter
Eve O'Neill
“The best overall cargo bike for most families. The accessory system is unmatched, and it actually fits in an elevator.”
BikeRadar
Warren Rossiter
“Compact enough for daily life, capable enough for weekend adventures. The Bosch Cargo Line motor is bombproof.”

“$5,300 is a lot, but we think of it as a second-car replacement. The math works if you ride 3+ days a week.”
