Dynamic partnership between the Franco-Belgian manufacturer Douze-Cycles and Peugeot Cycleurope France, a newcomer enriches the world of electric cargo bikes.
The longtail, a model offering practicality and comfort, is now available to consumers after a setback linked to the closure of a partner company.
An electric longtail bike designed for everyday travel
Particularly addressing bicycle commuters and active families, the manufacturer unveils the Peugeot e-Longtail.
This model, synonymous with comfort and robustness, is distinguished by its large rear luggage rack. Upon request, it is possible to fit a double seat for transporting young children.
Capable of carrying almost 200 kg and weighing just over 30 kg, it is equipped with an aluminum frame and fork for optimized resistance.
Turnaround after a period of uncertainty
Initially scheduled for an early release, the marketing of the Peugeot e-Longtail was delayed due to complications at Beweel, responsible for the logistics and distribution part.
With the dissolution of the company, Douze-Cycles took over and managed the distribution directly.
Technical specifications and performance
The e-Longtail stands out with its 24-inch rims, reinforced Schwalbe Big Ben Plus tires, and 180 mm hydraulic disc brakes for maximum efficiency.
The Shimano EP6 Cargo electric motor, with a torque of 85 Nm, enables instant acceleration, even under heavy load. The removable 630 Wh battery promises a range of approximately 100 kilometers.
This vehicle offers a customizable driving experience, thanks to its automatic 10-speed Shimano Cues Di2 transmission, as well as a manual gear control option.
Its Shimano Cues chain and Linkglide cassette are specifically designed to withstand heavy loads.
A price reflecting quality and innovation
Made in the town of Longvic, near Dijon, the Peugeot e-Longtail is put on sale at 5,100 euros, excluding options and accessories, which places it in a higher price range compared to other electric cargo bikes on the market. Franck Labas, the communication officer at Douze-Cycles, informs us that the Douze Cycles network ensures distribution.
In parallel, the company is looking for other means of dissemination, including occasional operations. A first series of one hundred units has already found buyers.
The Peugeot e-Longtail: The alliance of tradition and modern technology
The Peugeot e-Longtail stands as a benchmark in the category of electric longtails thanks to its high-quality assembly and customized technical features.
This model symbolizes Douze-Cycles’ commitment to providing reliable and high-performance transport solutions, adapted to the needs of modern urban life.
