• Suspension: Hydraulic front suspension fork with ~80 mm travel and lock-out; 15×110 mm thru-axle front hub for strength and stability
• Brakes: 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes front and rear, 180 mm rotors — reliable stopping power for heavy loads

Ride Quality & Use Cases

• The mixed-wheel size and lower center of gravity give better handling and stability when the bike is loaded — whether with cargo or passengers — compared to typical long-tail cargo bikes.
• The powerful motor and torque help tackle hills or heavy loads without excessive strain, making errands, cargo hauling, or carrying kids much easier than a standard bike.
• The long rear cargo rack and high payload capacity make the Packer 1 ideal for grocery runs, commuting with gear, transporting cargo, or even carrying a child seat or passenger accessories.
• Front suspension and stable tires improve comfort on rough roads or uneven surfaces — useful for city commuting, suburban trips, or mixed-terrain rides.

Important Considerations

• As a cargo e-bike with a long tail and heavy-duty build, the Packer 1 weighs ~75 lbs — more than a standard commuter bike; storage and transport require adequate space and care.
• Real-world range will vary depending on total load, terrain, assist level, and how much throttle vs. pedal-assist is used — heavy cargo or uphill rides reduce range significantly compared to the ideal.
• Though the bike supports up to 440 lb payload, handling and stability become more sensitive when fully loaded; care should be taken especially when turning or braking under load.
