FLYER L885 CARGO EBIKE REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Flyer L885 cargo eBike presents a compelling option for families and utility-focused riders, blending Radio Flyer's nostalgic appeal with modern e-bike capabilities. The reviewer highlights its robust aluminum frame, capable of supporting up to 400 pounds, and the versatility offered by optional front and rear cargo accessories, including a rear rack that can accommodate two children. Key positives include the beautiful paint finish, integrated lights and fenders, and the highly recommended optional extended range battery, which significantly boosts potential range to 50-100 miles. However, the review points out areas for improvement: the saddle and lack of suspension make for a stiff ride, the mechanical Tektro brakes, while functional, would ideally be hydraulic at this price point, and the cadence sensor's delayed power delivery and shifting could be more responsive. The reviewer also notes the kickstand is difficult to engage. Despite these drawbacks, the L885 is praised for its utility, premium feel, and attractive design, making it a recommended choice for those prioritizing cargo capacity and family transport.
