Battery: capacity to be confirmed

Understanding the motor and battery in 30 seconds

250 W

Power

This is the legal power limit in Europe: all approved electric bikes are rated at 250 W. So it is not what makes the difference between two bikes.

Torque, in newton-metres

The motor’s real strength: what pushes you when setting off and on hills, with the bike loaded. For a family cargo bike, aim for 60 Nm or more; 80 Nm or more climbs anything, even loaded.

The tank, in watt-hours

The size of the energy tank: the more watt-hours, the further you go. Actual distance depends on terrain and load — see the gauge below.

How far does the battery go? Choose your route

This model’s exact capacity is to be confirmed: choose a capacity to see the order of magnitude.

LightDemanding

Fine-tune with the slider: the load carried, the assistance used and the weather matter as much as the gradient.

Everyday city use

≈ 45 km

with 500 Wh

City with a few hills, intermediate assistance, one child or the shopping.

Why from green to red? The closer to red, the harder the motor works: hills, the weight carried, strong assistance, wind and cold all use more energy. The same battery that covers about 65 km in the green covers noticeably less in the red.

Indicative, rounded estimate for comparison: actual range also depends on the bike, the motor, the rider and maintenance. Describe your route to us and we will advise you on the battery and torque you need.

What do I need for my daily use?

Tell us about your use: the motor and battery you need take shape. The higher the gauges climb towards red, the more strength and range your use requires.

Understanding battery, motor and range

The battery = the tank

Its capacity is measured in watt-hours (Wh): voltage (V) multiplied by amp-hours (Ah). More Wh means more kilometres between charges, but neither more speed nor more power.

The motor = the strength

What matters is torque, in newton-metres (Nm): it makes the difference when setting off, on hills and with children or a load. For an electrically assisted bicycle, European law limits power to 250 W and cuts assistance at 25 km/h: maximum assisted speed is therefore the same for all; a higher-torque motor reaches it more easily, even when loaded.

Range = your use

With the same battery, range varies a lot depending on the assistance level chosen (from Eco to Turbo), hills, the weight carried, average speed, wind, tyre pressure and cold weather, which reduces capacity.

On video

Toyota Cargo Verso : premier contact avec le vélo biporteur fabriqué par Douze Cycles — Transition Vélo.

The report, in English

What the report covers: Transition Vélo visited Dijon, where Douze Cycles builds Toyota's first cargo bike. The Cargo Verso is Toyota's version of Douze's Hêta front-loader, with a frame made in France, sold through the Toyota dealer network. In this first ride, the tester highlights surprisingly agile, comfortable handling for a 60 kg front-loader, first-rate braking (Tektro 4-piston hydraulic discs) and a versatile front box that takes two small passengers, plus 35 kg on the rear rack. Yamaha PW-X3 motor with 85 Nm, 500 Wh battery and a claimed range of up to 100 km. The tester's reservations: battery a little small for intensive use, high weight, and no frame lock included. The magazine's final score: 8/10.

Two lengths

Verso 600 and Verso 850

The Cargo Verso comes in two lengths: 2.50 m for the 600 and 2.75 m for the 850. The ghosted silhouette shows what the 850 version adds.

Yamaha PW-X3 motor

Yamaha PW-X3 mid-drive motor: 250 W as homologated and 85 Nm of torque, mounted at the bottom bracket. Torque, not power, is what starts a loaded bike and climbs hills.
