Compact, durable, and versatile – three adjectives that, when used to describe an electric cargo bike, make for quite a capable machine. Indeed, there are tons of e-bikes on the market now all claiming to deliver these three things, and the Quercus from California-based e-bike brand Rattan is the newest to stake a claim in the rapidly growing e-bike scene.
The Rattan Quercus is marketed as an eco-friendly commuting solution that’s adaptable and configurable in a variety of ways. For starters, it’s perfect for shoppers and errand-runners who make frequent stops and carry quite a bit of stuff. By a “bit of stuff,” I mean up to 450 pounds including the rider. Indeed, the Quercus backs this up with a step-through aluminum frame, and a robust rear luggage rack that’s integrated into the frame for maximum durability. There’s even an optional front basket for folks looking to go the extra mile.
