Detailed Specifications 

•Motor & Power: Bosch Performance Line (Smart System) mid-drive motor, 250W, delivering up to 75 Nm of torque for responsive acceleration . This provides ample power for city hills and quick getaways at speeds up to 25 km/h (15.5 mph) – the standard limit for class 1 e-bikes. The motor’s Smart System integration ensures efficient power delivery and can be customized via Bosch’s eBike Flow app for an optimized ride every time.

•Battery & Range: Bosch PowerPack 545 Wh lithium-ion battery. On a full charge, you can expect an average range of about 50 km (30 miles) under typical conditions. Range will vary with load, terrain, and assist level, but the system supports an optional dual-battery setup to double the range for longer trips. This means you can confidently cover 40–60 miles on two batteries – perfect for full days of errands.

•Cargo Capacity: An EPP foam cargo box up front can carry heavy loads up to 125 kg (approx. 275 lbs). The Urban Arrow Family is known as one of the most spacious cargo bikes in its class, capable of seating two children on the included bench with three-point seatbelts for safety. You can even install a compatible baby car seat or an extra bench for a third small child without sacrificing space. The sturdy aluminum frame and low center of gravity keep the bike stable and safe, even when fully loaded. The maximum gross weight (rider + bike + cargo) is 250 kg (550 lbs), so adults of up to 125 kg (275 lbs) can ride comfortably with kids and groceries on board.

•Drivetrain & Gearing: Enviolo Heavy Duty continuously variable transmission (CVT) hub for seamless, stepless shifting. This maintenance-friendly gear hub is designed for cargo use, handling high torque while allowing you to adjust gearing smoothly at any moment – even at a standstill. The Performance Line model comes with a durable KMC chain drive. The gearing requires minimal maintenance and is enclosed enough for all-weather reliability, ensuring you can focus on the ride, not bike upkeep.

•Brakes & Safety: Tektro Dorado hydraulic disc brakes on both wheels provide strong, reliable stopping power. These heavy-duty brakes are designed for e-cargo bikes, so you can confidently control your speed and stop quickly, even with precious cargo and heavier loads. The bike’s long wheelbase and low center of gravity add stability, preventing tip-overs and keeping handling intuitive. Additionally, the front box’s EPP foam construction acts like a giant "helmet" for your cargo, absorbing impacts and protecting your passengers . For visibility, integrated LED lighting (powered by the main battery) ensures you’re seen by traffic day and night.

•Display & Controls: Bosch LED Remote with Intuvia 100 display. The compact LED remote on the handlebar allows you to change assist levels without taking your hand off the handlebar, while the Intuvia 100 display provides clear readouts of speed, battery level, range estimate, and more. The Smart System display is easy to read in all conditions and offers Bluetooth connectivity to the Bosch app for ride statistics and tuning.

•Connectivity: Ready for the Bosch ConnectModule (optional add-on) for GPS tracking and anti-theft features. While the Performance Line Smart System model does not include the ConnectModule by default , it can be upgraded. With the module and the eBike Flow smartphone app, you can locate your bike, receive theft alerts, and even immobilize the motor for added security – peace of mind when parking in the city.

•Other Features: 26-inch rear wheel and 20-inch front wheel equipped with wide, puncture-resistant tires (Schwalbe Super Moto-X or equivalent) for a cushioned ride and grip on urban streets. The bike weighs about 48–51 kg (105–112 lbs) including the battery. Accessories like a rear carrier (for an additional child seat or panniers), rain cover, sun cover, and toddler seat adapters are available to customize the bike for your family’s needs. Every component, from the heavy-duty kickstand to the enclosed chain guard, is built with family practicality in mind.

Family Lifestyle & Urban Commuting Benefits 

The Urban Arrow Family Performance Line is more than just a bike – it’s a car-replacing lifestyle vehicle for urban families. Imagine breezing past morning traffic jams on a bicycle path while your kids sit securely in front, giggling with excitement. Thanks to the comfortable bench seat with three-point harnesses, children are buckled in safely, and the high sidewalls of the cargo box give additional protection much like a rolling fortress. With the assist from the Bosch motor, you won’t break a sweat even with two kids and groceries onboard – hills feel flat and distances feel shorter, turning daily errands into fun adventures.

Family convenience is at the core of this design. The spacious front box can hold not only kids but also the weekly grocery haul, sports bags, or even a large pet. No more struggling to find parking at the supermarket or daycare; the Urban Arrow glides right to the front door. Many owners find that this e-cargo bike can replace a second car for in-town trips, saving on gas and parking fees while reducing their carbon footprint. It’s an environmentally friendly alternative to driving that can help you save time and money, especially in busy cities where biking is often faster than car travel.

Comfort and control are apparent from the first ride. Despite its large capacity, the Performance Line model is easy to handle. The low center of gravity (with the weight of cargo kept low in the front box) and the stable long wheelbase give you confidence when maneuvering through narrow streets or taking corners. The electric assist means you can start from stoplights smoothly, even when fully loaded, and keep up with city traffic. The step-through frame makes it simple to hop on and off, which is great when you’re doing multiple stops on a single outing.

For parents, safety is paramount, and the Urban Arrow delivers: the enclosed cargo box design and seatbelts keep children secure, and the powerful brakes ensure you can stop promptly at intersections. Weather is no obstacle either – optional rain covers can enclose the front box to keep your little ones dry on a rainy school run, and a sun cover is available for hot or bright days. This means your family can rely on the bike year-round, rain or shine. Plus, the kids stay engaged with the world around them during the ride, making commutes an educational and enjoyable experience rather than a back-seat boredom session.

In daily urban life, the Performance Line cargo bike truly shines as a commuter-friendly family vehicle. It’s quiet, emissions-free, and allowed on bike lanes, which often lets you bypass the vehicular congestion that plagues city streets. Many families use it for everything: morning drop-offs, getting to work (you can carry a laptop bag and work supplies in the box too), grocery shopping, and weekend outings to the park. With its combination of practicality and fun, the Urban Arrow turns mundane chores into memorable rides. It fosters a healthier, more active routine for the whole family, and kids absolutely love riding in it – often calling it the "family adventure bike."

Performance Line vs. Cargo Line: Model Comparison 

Not sure if the Performance Line is the best fit for your needs? Urban Arrow offers the Family Smart System in two models – the Performance Line and the Cargo Line – each tailored to slightly different priorities. Here’s a clear comparison to help you decide which model suits your family:

Both Performance Line and Cargo Line models share the same core Urban Arrow Family frame, high-quality build, and family-friendly features. This means regardless of choice, you get the spacious cargo box, strong safety design, and Bosch Smart System technology in each case. The primary differences are in the motor output and some components (drive belt vs chain, display type, connectivity module, etc.) as outlined above.

Which one to choose? If your typical use involves standard loads (2 kids, groceries, everyday errands) and you live in an area with gentle to moderate hills, the Performance Line will serve you perfectly well with power to spare. Its 75 Nm of torque gives a natural-feeling assist that makes flats and mild climbs effortless. On the other hand, if you frequently carry heavy cargo or multiple older children, or face steep inclines in your city, the Cargo Line’s extra muscle (85 Nm) provides added confidence – you’ll appreciate the stronger push when starting uphill or hauling bigger loads . The Cargo Line also comes with a few premium touches (like the belt drive and upgraded display) that enhance durability and user experience for intensive daily use. Budget-conscious families might lean towards the Performance model for its slightly lower price, but rest assured, both models are top-of-the-line electric cargo bikes that bring convenience and joy to family transport.

No matter which model you choose, the Urban Arrow Family Smart System bikes are transformative for urban living. They enable you to swap car trips for bike rides, making city mobility more sustainable and fun. With either the Performance Line or Cargo Line, you’ll gain a reliable partner for school drop-offs, grocery runs, and weekend adventures, all while keeping your family safe and happy on the road. In short, the comparison isn’t about which bike is good or bad – it’s about finding the right match for your family’s needs. Both are exceptional, and with the information above, you can confidently decide which Urban Arrow Family model will power your next urban adventure.
