With the Keewee cargo e-bike, another company sees a future in this market segment. What makes this three-wheel e-cargo bike different from models such as the Lovens, Urban Arrow, Carqon and Riese & Muller Load?
What is the Keewee e-cargo bike?
The Keewee cargo e-bike is developed by PMG, which owns Keewee and brands such as Bird, Popal, SuperSuper, Cangoo & BSP. This Dutch family company has more than 130 people and is based in Drunen (The Netherlands). The Keewee is a modern version of the Cangoo portfolio. PMG aims for a customer with a larger budget than the Cangoo but lower than the other mentioned cargo bikes in this post.
What makes the Keewee e-cargo bike different from the high-end brands, as mentioned earlier, is that this is a three-wheel bike. Besides that, the safety and comfort features are going further. For instance, the Keewee has built-in directions lights, and inside the cargo box, there are two lights. Super helpful when you have the optional tent built on the bike, which makes it darker inside.
Bafang M420 motor on Keewee
PMG has chosen the Bafang drive system instead of the Bosch on the Keewee. Yes, there is a difference between the two drive systems. Bafang is a Chinese company, while Bosch a German. The last one is also a market leader, but that doesn’t make Bafang a lousy choice. The Bafang M420 mid-motor on the Keewee has a maximum torque of 80Nm, and 250W rated power output. The battery is a 36V/14 AH Li-ion 470Wh, and the C18 display completes this drive train. With Tektro brakes and a Shimano rear hub, riding and braking are even with full cargo no problem.
Price and availability Keewee
The price and availability of the Keewee are, as we know at writing this, only for the Dutch market and starting price is € 4499,00.
