Customer Reviews
We picked up our Higgs Cargo bike with the rear seats and front rack last week. We absolutely love it. Picking the kids up from school has never been more fun. We now have two Murfs and couldn’t be happier
JASON
We got this bike to transport the 2 kids around the local area, and it’s unreal! We chose the fat bike/beach cruiser style because it still looks good even when you’re riding it in your own. The thing is a weapon, plenty of power and plenty of room for the kids, plus the basket on the front for carrying bags etc.
ARON
These cargo bikes are a complete game changer. We put the two kids on the back and take them to school, beach, playground, anywhere we want without the traffic or parking issues.Thanks Murf.

I use it everyday, its as important to me as my car now, and the Murf is so reliable, we load this thing up for beach trips, 2 kids, 2 surfboards, cool cabana, beach toys, food and water, towels etc, and gets up our steep hill with ease, i would recommend this bike to anyone, its also nice to take the middle seat back rest off and the misses hops on for when we go out for date night.
JACK
Spent a very long time researching all different types of electric bikes that would be suitable for carrying my 2 kids and was sold on the Murf Higgs Cargo. It’s been absolutely life changing, we do kindy pick up/drop off on which saves finding a park and sitting in rush hour traffic.
DAN C.
Epic cargo bike, we have 2 children on the back, 8 and 6 years, and handles with ease, plenty of power and handles the toughest hills. solid bike. No negatives, all good vibes. Worth the investment. Happy cruising

This is my second Murf ebike purchased over the past 12 months. Be careful boys, my wife has already come close to knocking off my Higgs Cargo as she loves it’s looks, low level setting and ease of riding; got to keep it locked up now!

Could not recommend enough.It’s a fun way to get around town with kids, down to the park, christmas light looking, breakfast stops or even just to get out of the house for a ride instead of watching TV. 10/10
