Cargo
A nimble front-load cargo bike with modular hauling capability.
Big cargo capacity. Small-bike handling.
The Gnargo Cargo delivers the capability of a full-size electric cargo bike in a compact, nimble platform built for everyday life. With 20-inch wheels, a low center of gravity, a 71-inch wheelbase, and up to 385 lbs of carrying capacity, it handles serious loads without the bulk of a traditional cargo bike.
Every Gnargo Cargo starts with a Bosch Performance Line PX mid-drive, Bosch PowerPack 545, Bosch Purion 200 display, Shimano four-piston hydraulic brakes, hand-built Velocity wheels, and an 8-speed microSHIFT Acolyte drivetrain. From there, configure your bike with the Bosch motor, battery, drivetrain, and cargo setup that fits the way you ride.
Upgrade to the Bosch Performance Line Speed or Cargo Line, add a PowerPack 800, or choose the 3X3 NINE internal gear hub with Gates Carbon Drive belt for a premium, low-maintenance drivetrain.
One bike. More possibilities.
The Gnargo Cargo is designed around one versatile platform instead of a lineup of bikes built for different jobs. Carry groceries, transport kids, haul tools, make deliveries, or bring a passenger along for the ride.
Choose a rear passenger or cargo package, add accessories as you need them, and build a Gnargo Cargo around the way you actually use a bike.
Designed and built in Bentonville, Arkansas.

Built to Carry. Designed to Ride.
The Gnargo Cargo started with a simple idea: a cargo bike should be able to carry a lot without becoming a lot of bike.
Its compact 20-inch wheel platform keeps the center of gravity low and the wheelbase to just 71 inches, creating a bike that feels maneuverable and approachable even when you're putting its cargo capacity to work.
Up front, an open cargo platform rated for up to 350 lbs gives you room for groceries, kids, tools, equipment, and oversized loads. Leave it open for maximum flexibility, or add Monkey Bars and a Canvas Basket to create a contained cargo space.
Rather than building multiple cargo bike models for different uses, we built one platform that can be configured around yours.
Choose Your Bosch Drive System
Every Gnargo Cargo is powered by the Bosch smart system, with three motor options depending on how and where you ride.
Bosch Performance Line PX | Standard
Our standard drive system is anything but basic. The Bosch Performance Line PX delivers up to 90 Nm of torque in a compact, quiet mid-drive designed for powerful everyday riding.
It's a great all-around choice for commuting, family transportation, errands, and everyday cargo duty.

Bosch Performance Line Speed | +$300
For riders who want more speed, upgrade to the Bosch Performance Line Speed.
With assistance up to Class 3 speeds and up to 100 Nm of torque, it's built for longer commutes and riders who want to cover more ground while retaining the loaded-bike advantages of a Bosch mid-drive.
Learn more about Bosch Performance Line Speed
Bosch Cargo Line | +$300
The Bosch Cargo Line is purpose-built around moving heavy loads. Its power delivery is tuned specifically for cargo bikes, providing strong assistance when starting under load, climbing, and riding at lower speeds.
For riders regularly pushing the Gnargo Cargo's carrying capabilities, this is the motor we'd choose.
Learn more about Bosch Cargo Line
Whichever motor you choose, power is delivered through the bicycle's drivetrain, allowing both you and the motor to take advantage of the selected gear.
A Bosch Purion 200 puts controls, battery status, speed, and ride information at your fingertips, while the Bosch eBike Flow app connects your bike to the broader Bosch smart system.
Choose Your Bosch Battery
Bosch PowerPack 545 | Standard
The PowerPack 545 gives the Gnargo Cargo plenty of capacity for everyday riding without making every customer pay for battery capacity they may not need.
Bosch PowerPack 800 | +$300
Need more range? Upgrade to the PowerPack 800 for nearly 47% more battery capacity.
It's a natural choice for longer commutes, high-mileage work use, heavier loads, or anyone who simply wants to charge less often.
Choose Your Drivetrain
Two drivetrain options let you decide between familiar simplicity and a premium, low-maintenance setup.
microSHIFT Acolyte 8-Speed Chain Drive | Standard
Simple, familiar, and easy to service. The Acolyte 8-speed drivetrain uses a conventional chain and derailleur, making adjustments and replacement parts straightforward for riders and bike shops.
It's a durable, practical drivetrain that helps us keep the Gnargo Cargo accessible without compromising the core bike.
3X3 NINE + Gates Carbon Drive | Upgrade
For a cleaner, quieter, lower-maintenance setup, upgrade to the 3X3 NINE internally geared hub paired with a Gates Carbon Drive belt.
The German-made NINE puts all nine gears inside a sealed hub and provides a massive 554% gear range. It can also shift while stopped, an especially useful feature when you've come to a stop with a loaded cargo bike and need an easier gear before taking off again.
The Gates belt eliminates chain lubrication and removes the external derailleur entirely.

Choose Your Rear Setup
The Gnargo Cargo doesn't assume everyone needs a second cargo rack or passenger seat. Start with the bike and add the rear setup that fits the way you'll actually use it.
No Rear Rack Package | Standard
Keep things simple and the bike as light and streamlined as possible.
Passenger Package | +$150
Configure the rear of your Gnargo Cargo for an additional rider with our Cafe Seat, passenger pegs, and side panels.
Cargo Package | +$150
Turn the rear platform into additional working cargo space with our Toolbox Rack, providing a secure mounting point for storage and equipment.
Braking Power to Match the Load
Carrying capacity doesn't mean much without the braking power to control it.
The Gnargo Cargo pairs Shimano BL-M4100 hydraulic brake levers with BR-MT420 four-piston calipers for powerful, progressive braking. Four-piston calipers provide confident control whether you're riding empty, descending a hill, or putting the cargo platform to work.
Hand-Built Velocity Wheels
A cargo bike places very different demands on its wheels than an ordinary bicycle, so this isn't where we cut corners.
The Gnargo Cargo uses Velocity Cliffhanger Clydesdale rims with Sapim Strong spokes, hand-built in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
They're selected specifically for the strength and durability demanded by a high-capacity cargo bike while remaining built around serviceable bicycle components.
Details You Touch Every Ride
Every Gnargo Cargo includes PDW Cork Chop grips, combining an ergonomic shape with a cork and rubber compound for a comfortable contact point and a distinctive natural finish.

Build It Around Your Life
There isn't a Schoolie, LoopLoader, or Classic Cargo anymore. There's the Gnargo Cargo.
Start with a compact, American-made cargo platform powered by Bosch. Then choose the motor, battery, drivetrain, rear configuration, and accessories that make sense for the way you actually plan to use it.
Family hauler. Commuter. Work bike. Grocery getter. Passenger carrier. Or a little bit of everything.
However you configure it, you get the same compact platform, Bosch mid-drive system, four-piston Shimano braking, hand-built Velocity wheels, and 350 lbs of front cargo capacity.
Designed and built by Gnargo Bike Co. in Bentonville, Arkansas.

My loop loader is amazing. I loved that could get it customized and it suits me perfectly. It’s the perfect grocery runner and general around town bike. Makes not getting in the car easy!
We love our new MV LoopLoader - it has been so much fun riding on with both our dogs! This bike is FAST too. The whole process - from idea to delivery - with the Gnargo team was seamless. The best bonus is how freaking awesome the rig looks - gorgous and unique.
The LoopLoader is an awesome ride because it feels and handles like a real bike as opposed to longtails that are hard to turn. The cargo net is very capable, the motor is fast and predictable, and the battery lasts forever. Surprisingly most of the components have lasted a long time. My cons are that the first tire the bike came with was not very offroad capable, the kickstand always comes loose, and I wish the bike had a welded-on rear rack (which is an option on the new model). The biggest gripe is the seatpost; It doesn't stay up! It's not a standard seatpost diameter so I can't find a replacement either.
We got 2 - His & Hers! We love our bikes! So great to be able to jump on, throw things in the front basket and GO! And, they are showstoppers. Everywhere we go, people love asking about them. Happy to tell the story of recycled frame and the team that built them especially for us.
By far the coolest most fun bike I’ve ever had. I use it almost every day to commute to work and to take my kids to school. My youngest kid loves sitting in the captain’s chair and having as front row seat on the ride home. Definitely a bike we will have for life!
My two sons ages 10&11, my wife and I all hammer on this bike and she has held up wonderfully. We needed something that was indestructible, long lasting and strong. Glad we made the choice and it’s been put through the text for almost a year now.
Superior craftsmanship. Wonderful people. Excellent service. Innovation. What’s not to love?
love this rig. has served us well as a conversation piece and an amazing source of transportation. The gnargo team custom built ours to serve as a screen print bike for live event printing and we are so thankful for that level of involvement and care.
The customer service with Gnargo has been amazing. I had my gnargo for about a year and half when the lights started going out. I took it into the shop where we found a frayed cord and they fixed it up right then and I was back riding safely in about 30 minutes.
Buying an electric that comes with access to service was a top priority for me when I was searching cargo bikes and I'm thankful to have found that in Gnargo. Love the bike, love the company ethos, love the people.
Amazing bike and customer service. This bike rides like an actual bike because of the way it’s designed. And it goes super fast and has long range. And I’ve never had better customer service when buying a bike. I’ve owned and ridden other e cargo bikes and this one is soo much better
Awesome bikes, awesome people. Got to test ride one when I stopped by and I was super impressed. All hand made in house! And still more affordable than most other brands. Look forward to getting mine soon!
Just ordered the Classic with matching trailer for my business. Can’t wait to actively join the Gnargo Family!
Follow-up on 5-15-26, had a minor mechanical issue the Gnargo techs diagnosed and repaired immediately and once complete even brought it to my house🤯. Gnargo is quality workmanship backed up by superior service.
⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ across the board.
I wish I could rate 10 stars and then some. Gnargo bike co. has changed our lives in the best way. We used to dream of living in a bikeable town and commuting to school and work this way. Gnargo has made it possible for our family- my husband and I both have gnargo bikes that our kids ride on in the front. Every experience on the bike with them is a moment of serenity, laughing, and enjoying what is around us. After skipping the massive car line at the elementary school, we head to work on our gnargos. The family behind the gnargo design are some of the most creative and kind people you will ever meet- Bentonville is lucky to have them and I have a feeling Bentonville won't be the only place we see gnargos in the future!
This place is unbelievably cool. I had the pleasure of meeting both the owners and the crew. They put out an incredible product and I literally can't understand how they are selling their products at the price point where they are at. There is SO MUCH time, money, and love put into each of their upcycled bikes.
If you spend five minutes with anyone here in the shop, you'll know instantly that they are gems in our community.
I can't wait to shake the money tree one day and I'll be getting my very own Gnargo Bike!
Stopped by for a test ride (the Schoolie is *so* fun), and explored a custom conversion of a steel hardtail. Highly recommend Gnargo from my experiences so far, a truly iconic local business 🙌
Bought two Gnargo bikes for my wife and I and we love them. Perfect for commuting, taking the dog for a ride, or grabbing a coffee. The service is amazing as well. We love having ebikes with a ton of personality.
I have over 4400 miles on my Gnargo. We actually have 3 of them! It has completely changed the way I feel about my commute to work/errands! It is also a huge bonding experience for my whole family but especially when my daughter and I are riding around blasting our favorite Swiftie songs (: not only are they super fun, they are literally handcrafted by some of the most incredible humans I know! Built local w love! 100/100 recommend.
Everything about Gnargo is awesome. Local owners locally sourced in a big part of this community. I have two of the Schoolie’s at The Bike Inn for guests and there are always a big hit. I’m paddling to the neighborhood market or downtown to The Hub. It’s always more fun on my Gnargo.
Love our Gnargo bike! This shop location is very convenient, right off the greenway. Dropped my bike off for a tune up and then played in the creek while we waited. Could easily grab food from the food truck down the road too! Amazing people!
