Tribe Evamos Longtail

Yes, we have designed the Evamos to have two Thule Yepp2 Maxi child seats, and the Crew Cab bars. We recommend always installing the Crew cab. If you have an accident they will provide extra protection.

This all depends on your kids and their independence. We still ride our kids to school and the beach who are over 10 now. They love jumping on the back and making mum and dad do the work!

As long as they weigh less than 80kg, absolutely. Date night by cargo bike is lots of fun!

There is an integrated wheel skirt over the rear wheel specifically to keep small fingers and toes away from the spokes. Always check before you ride that the wheel skirt is appropriately attached.

Yes. The optional front porteur rack carries integrated MIK, so the crates and baskets clip straight on (and off when you want to bring everything inside). We use the Basil Large crates which can easily fit 2 schoolbags or a few bags of groceries.

MIK is a mounting standard built into the front rack. It lets you swap baskets, crates and bags in seconds without tools, so the same bike does the school run in the morning and the grocery shop in the afternoon.

This depends on when you are comfortable. You really need your child to be able to be able to fit a helmet to your child for them to ride on the back. Neck strength usually gets to this point at about 9 months of age. For young kids we definitely recommend a child seat, the Thule Yepp 2 Maxi. Once your child is 4-5 they should be able to sit on the bench with just the crew cab bars and do not need a child seat.

The Thule Yepp 2 Maxi child seat that we sell on our store fits. Be careful with child seats, you need one that can clamp onto the thick rear rails that the Evamos has. Child seats that attach to the seatpost are not compatible. If you’re looking for a little extra security for your older kids consider the Urban Iki Junior seat available on our store.

The only road rule in Australia for carrying kids or adults on a bike is that they wear an approved helmet.

Two children comfortably, using child seats or sitting on the bench. With just the bench and the Crew Cab bars you can squeeze a third on.

Total maximum payload is 200kg, including the rider, clothing, riding gear, accessories and cargo. The rear rack alone takes up to 80kg.

Well it USES 3 times the energy, but it does not give you 3 times the power. Most of these bikes have hub motors, which are much less efficient than the mid drive motor that the Evamos has. A 750w hub motor actually provides less torque than a 250w mid drive motor and the ride is nowhere near as smooth! Plus a 750w motor is not legal to ride on the roads in Australia no matter what the seller says!

95Nm is a lot of torque for a bike this weight, and the nine speed range is there so you can gear down. Loaded with two kids on a steep hill you will still be pedalling, but you will get up it. If you’re unsure, email us your bike route and we’ll help you assess the gradients with the help of google maps.

Yes, there is a cradle available to carry a spare, which effectively doubles your range for a big day. Note the second battery must be moved to the main battery mount to use it. It takes about 30 seconds for a battery swap.

Up to about 50km, depending on load, terrain and how much assist you use. Evamos bikes from 26 July 2026 carry a 468Wh (13Ah) battery; bikes bought before then have the 375Wh (10.5Ah) pack and around 40km.

The torque sensor reads how hard you are pushing on the pedals and feeds the motor in to match. It feels like your own legs got stronger rather than like a throttle switching on and off.

A 250W Bafang M510 mid drive with over 95Nm of torque, assisting up to 25km/h. It is near silent.

Yes, a Tribe Bike is not a motorbike! By pedalling, the torque sensor in the crank determines how much electric assist to provide.

The Evamos just needs standard bike maintenance. Keep the tyres pumped up, the chain oiled and occasionally tighten the spokes and adjust the gears. The user guide provides a recommended service schedule.

The Evamos is a ‘Mullet’ bike! Business at the front, party at the back. The 24″ front wheel ensures it handles like a normal bike, with the 20″ rear wheel ensuring the centre of gravity is kept low for maximum stability.

Puncture resistant Kenda balloon tyres, 2.1 and 2.25 inch. The 20 inch rear wheel keeps the centre of gravity low under load and the 24 inch front wheel smooths out bumps.

Front and rear Tektro HD-M285 hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm rotors. They stop well in the wet and need very little maintenance.

Nine speed Shimano Cues, chosen for cargo bikes. Enough range to get up steep hills and still hold a decent speed on the flat.

It is designed as a one size fits all. There is plenty of adjustment in the stem, seatpost and saddle, and a quick release seatpost clamp so two riders can swap in seconds. We have found it comfortable for riders from roughly 5’2″ to 6’5″. We also offer an optional dropper seatpost for quick transition between shorter and taller riders.

About 30kg, excluding accessories. Close to 35kg with rack, battery, sideboards and seat cushion attached.

Roughly the footprint of a men’s large mountain bike: 195cm long, 65cm wide at the handlebars and about 110cm high.

Yes. We work with mobile bike mechanics across the country. Expect around $150 depending on location. Email us and we will tell you whether there is one near you.

The Evamos arrives 90% assembled with all the tools you need and an assembly guide video. Most people do it in the lounge room.
