Description

The COSWHEEL CT20S with sidecar is an all-terrain electric bike designed for families, pet owners or anyone wishing to travel with an additional passenger. Thanks to its robust and secure sidecar, it allows you to transport a child, dog or bulky items safely. Its powerful 1500W motor (1000W nominal) and hydroformed aluminium alloy frame guarantee stable and reliable riding, even on varied terrain.

The CT20S with sidecar retains the characteristics of the classic CT20S model, but with the addition of a side-mounted sidecar, specially designed to provide extra space without compromising bike manoeuvrability. The sidecar is equipped with a reinforced structure, a safety belt and a comfortable seat, ensuring passenger comfort and safety.

On the performance side, this model retains the CT20S strengths: a brushless rear motor, a removable 48V 25Ah battery (1200 Wh) for a range reaching 140 km in pedal assist mode, and dual-piston hydraulic brakes for effective braking. The bike is also equipped with front and rear suspension to absorb shocks and provide optimal comfort, even on rough tracks.

The CT20S with sidecar is ideal for family outings, walks with your pet, or simply transporting bulky items. Its practical design and included accessories (LED lights, LCD display, etc.) make it a versatile choice suitable for many uses.


Who is this bike for?

This model is particularly suitable for:

  • Families wishing to travel with a young child
  • Pet owners (dogs, cats) wanting to take their companion
  • Cyclists needing to transport bulky items (shopping, equipment, etc.)
  • Nature ride enthusiasts with an additional passenger
  • Users seeking a stable, secure and versatile bike

Performance and Range

The COSWHEEL CT20S with sidecar is designed to provide stable and secure riding, even with a passenger or additional load. Thanks to its 1500W motor (peak) / 1000W (nominal) and 48V 25Ah battery (1200 Wh), it allows you to cover long distances effortlessly.

Range stated by manufacturer:

  • Up to 140 km in pedal assist mode (depending on usage conditions)

In real conditions, range depends on many factors:

  • Total weight (cyclist + passenger + load)
  • Assist mode used
  • Terrain type (flat, climbing, all-terrain)
  • Acceleration frequency

The battery recharges in 3.5 to 8 hours with the supplied charger.


Strengths

✔ Robust and secure sidecar to transport a passenger or cargo
✔ Powerful motor (1500W peak / 1000W nominal) for smooth and efficient riding
✔ Exceptional range (up to 140 km in pedal assist mode)
✔ Front and rear suspension for optimal comfort on all terrain
✔ Dual-piston hydraulic brakes for safe and effective braking
✔ Hydroformed aluminium alloy frame, ultra-resistant
✔ LCD display for easy monitoring of riding data
✔ Front and rear LED lights for maximum visibility
✔ Practical and versatile design, suited to many uses
✔ Ideal for families, pet owners or cyclists needing to transport cargo


Weaknesses

❌ High weight (around 80 kg with sidecar and battery), difficult to handle alone
❌ Very high price (3599 €), positioned in the premium segment
❌ Significant bulk (bike + sidecar), unsuitable for small storage spaces
❌ Ambiguous EU homologation: limited to 25 km/h and 250W in Europe, but can be unlocked (beware of local regulations)
❌ Requires appropriate storage space due to its size


Comparison and Positioning

The COSWHEEL CT20S with sidecar positions itself as a premium all-terrain electric bike, specially designed for families or pet owners. It stands out from other e-bikes through its integrated sidecar, making it a unique product on the market.

Unlike traditional cargo bikes, the CT20S with sidecar offers a more compact and manoeuvrable solution, whilst retaining great carrying capacity. It rivals models such as the Riese & Müller Multicharger or Tern HSD, but distinguishes itself through its more accessible price (3599 € versus 5000 €+ for competitors) and all-terrain design.

Note: Coswheel offers bikes with varying power and maximum speeds depending on market. In Europe, the CT20S with sidecar is limited to 25 km/h and 250W to comply with regulations, but can be unlocked to reach 45 km/h and 1500W. The lack of clear choice between a road-compliant version and an off-road version at purchase may raise questions. We recommend checking model compliance with local regulations before purchase, especially if you wish to use it on public roads.

This bike is primarily designed for off-road use or cycle paths, not for standard road use in Europe without modification.

✔ You wish to transport a child or pet safely
✔ You need a bike capable of carrying bulky items
✔ You seek a stable and secure bike for family outings
✔ You appreciate a robust and versatile design
✔ You want a bike equipped with advanced technology (suspension, hydraulic brakes, LCD display)

❌ You wish a 100% EU regulation-compliant bike without modification
