Calendar Bikes' Longtail Max challenges our assumptions about how much capability a smaller folding e-bike can deliver, and proves that sometimes you can have your cake and maybe eat some of it, too.
challenges our assumptions about how much capability a smaller folding e-bike can deliver, and proves that sometimes you can have your cake and maybe eat some of it, too.
When folded out, the Longtail Max is a fairly normal cargo bike. It’s got 20″ x 4″ fat tires, which not only gives you great comfort on the road, but traction and stability for trails and paths. It also has decent power, good space and comfort for the rider, and room for either luggage or 1-2 kids . If you get off a train, bus, or plane and have this with you, your need for a rental car or transit is greatly reduced at the destination, especially when the destination is a city.
Normally, a folding cargo bike with all of these capabilities would be very unwieldy when folded up, but Calendar found a great workaround: adding some rollerblade wheels onto the cargo rack. This allows the folded bike to be as easy as a rolling suitcase to move around and keeps the running gear, tires, and other things out of the way.
All of this would be compelling enough, but Calendar decided to do one more cool thing with this model: they made it glow in the dark. This is just plain cool for all of our inner children , but also increases our safety and visibility when using these things for serious city transportation and sightseeing.
This bike isn’t the best solution for all of us, but for those of us who need an easy to carry but capable bike, this is a very compelling answer.
