Anatomy of a Perfect Cargo Bike

With it's signature swooping step-thru frame geometry, the Swoop is the best universal fit cargo bike on the market. No other bike can comfortably hold as much cargo and safely carry as many passengers, while still being shareable for riders from 4'11" to 6'7".

Swoop Image of the Xtracycle Swoop, calling out the following features: upright riding, easy step-thru design, up-front cargo options, fenders & LED lights, high-roll front wheel, 4 piston hydraulic brakes, Shimano high torque motor, 630Wh 60 mile battery, dual leg kickstand, carry gear & groceries, low center of gravity, room for 3 with multiple configurations

Details Matter

Shimano Hi-Torque eBike System

The Shimano STEPS EP6 motor delivers up to 85Nm of torque for hilly terrain & heavy loads. With up to 400% of e-assist, you’ll be cruising up hills, no matter your load.

Shimano Extended Range Battery

With 630 watt-hours, you’ll be able to ride farther without having to stop & plug-in, up to 60 miles on a single charge. That's 20% more juice than a comparable stock battery.

Intuitive Controls

The E-series cycling computer gives you easy handlebar access to control your e-bike system. With a large display & easy to use buttons, you’ll spend less time thinking about your assist level and more time enjoying the ride.

Premium Componentry

Precision shifting and a clutch rear derailleur give you quick gear changes over any terrain. Paired with a wide range cassette, hills won't stand a chance slowing your down.

4-Piston Hydraulic Brakes

Shimano Tektro hydraulic disc brakes offer more power for braking, and self-adjust to give you the best stopping power with minimal wear.

Easy to Share Frame

The lowest step-over height and tall seat post makes the Swoop easy to adjust & share between riders of varying heights.

THE NITTY GRITTY

Sizing
All current Xtracycle frames come in one size.

The Swoop can accomodate riders from 4'11" to 6'7".

If you are shorter than 5'3" you may wish to have a smaller handlebar stem to accommodate a shorter reach. If you are taller than 6'3" you may wish to have a longer seat post and stem for a more comfortable ride. You can add a FitKit to your cart in order to adjust your bike accordingly.

The FitKit sizes available are small (300mm seat post, 60mm stem) and large (450mm seat post, 120mm stem). All our bikes come with a 400mm seat post and 90mm stem.

What others are saying

No regrets and loving it

Maria

No regrets and loving it

This bike is super fun to ride and makes it easy to do kid drop offs and pick ups ( even with 3)! I love the ability to increase the level of assistance when going in to the wind or up a hill, but it’s also easy to ensure a great workout. We’ve reduced our driving significantly using this bike and we are loving it!

So glad I did!

Amy G.

So glad I did!

Honestly, I don’t have words to express how please I am with Swooptie (my new bike). Marie-Claire was absolutely fantastic – patient, informative and honest. Shipping was incredibly fast – Cali to NY in a week! And most importantly the bike – beautiful, comfortable and well designed. I bought my bike sight unseen, without ever test riding an Xtracycle and I am so glad I did.

So much better than another car

Richard F.

So much better than another car

It’s so much better than another car. It’s convenient to roll right up to the beach or any other destination with all your stuff and not have to park in a parking lot. My wife is not a big cyclist, but now she carries the kids and beats me on fast rides, and has a great time doing it.

A full car replacement

Travis K.

A full car replacement

We bought our Xtracycle swoop as a second car replacement. It’s turning out to be a full car replacement. It’s my first choice to jump on the bike to run to school or the store and I’m disappointed if we have to fall back to using the car. It’s easy to ride while still being incredibly fun and safe. Plus zone blue looks pretty.

Alexandra M.

I ruminated about whether to go human-powered or not and am SO glad that I went with a motor. I’m 130lbs and the bike and kids are a combined 130lbs so it’s very difficult to get the bike moving from a stop without a motor. The extra pedal-assist helps me clear intersections quickly.

The best!

Riley M.

The best!

Xtracycle cargo bikes have the best all-around designs and are especially amazing for families. They are strong, comfortable, and adaptable, which are all things we were looking for in a cargo bike. Our kids love our eSwoop and so do we!

Xtracycle helped us get outside more

Tom H.

Xtracycle helped us get outside more

Our Xtracycle has really helped us get outside more as a family. More ambitious trips are possible on an electric cargo bike carrying passengers than otherwise. We’ve been doing long rides across town to start but will be doing some weekend touring trips soon. The Xtracycle is a very high-quality product and–although it’s the most expensive bike I’ve ever purchased–I have zero regrets because of the fun it has brought us and the future plans it has enabled.

Absolutely love this bike!

Laramie L.

Absolutely love this bike!

I absolutely love this bike!! We live in a very bike friendly community and I ride everywhere with my kids in tow (sometimes all three!). We have had so many fun adventures around town now – parks, grocery shopping, beach lunches you name it. Saving money on gas too has bee nice!!

Great communication

Joel F.

Great communication

Very quick shipping time and great communication, highly recommended! Bike was shipped ready to ride and I was on the bike and riding in less than 10 minutes..
