MONKEYBIKE MonkeyTail - Lilac Lagoon

MonkeyBike MonkeyTail Lila Lagoon at GOfatbike

The MonkeyBike MonkeyTail in lila lagoon is a longtail with a soft purple color and a very practical character. The extended frame makes room for children, a passenger, or groceries, and the lila shade gives the bike a playful and recognizable touch. You sit upright, the motor assists as soon as you pedal, and the wide tires keep the ride smooth and stable. Great for families who want to use the bike more often than the car. Below you can read what this model can do and what to consider before choosing.

Extended frame and load capacity

The rear frame of the MonkeyTail extends far behind the saddle, and that determines what you can do with the bike. On the extended carrier, you can fit child seats, crates, or bags on both sides. Because the load is low and between the wheels, the bike maintains its balance, even when fully loaded. Compared to a regular city bike, it feels a bit heavier when starting, but once you regularly carry people or items, you gain that back doubly. If you mainly want a light, agile bike, you might want to look elsewhere. In lila lagoon, the bike also gets a playful touch.

Carrying children or a passenger

Most people choose a longtail for this reason: you can take someone with you. On the rear carrier, you can place one or more child seats, and with bars and footrests as accessories, an older passenger can also ride safely. What is possible depends on the age and weight of the person riding behind, so assess that per situation. Riding with a child on the back is a bit different: accelerate more gently, allow a slightly longer braking distance, steer more consciously. You get used to it quickly, and then it feels like a normal way to go out together.

Range and battery with load

The battery is integrated into the frame and is designed for longer rides. Your range depends on your weight and that of your load, the wind, the level of assistance, and the profile of your route. With a longtail, the load counts extra heavily, so with a lot of luggage or a passenger, the range decreases. Therefore, consider a margin rather than a fixed number. A quick recharge after a long day means you can continue the next morning. Not sure how far you need to go? Allow some extra room.

Motor, speed, and regulations

The motor assists up to 25 km/h; above that, you pedal on your own. It remains pedal assistance: you move, the motor follows. You cannot start moving without pedaling using a throttle. This keeps the MonkeyTail a regular electric bike, with a motor in the common 250W class for this type of bike. No license, registration, or helmet is required. Tuning the bike is not a good idea: it then falls outside its legal category, brakes and frame are not designed for it, and you lose your warranty.

Brakes, stability, and safety

When carrying a child or load, good brakes are doubly important. The brakes bring you to a controlled stop even with a full carrier. The wide tires provide grip and a smooth line, even on rough roads. Only let a child get on when the bike is on its stand, as a longtail is long and can tip over with uneven weight. Take your time on the first rides, especially in corners. And yes, the bike is heavy; you’ll notice this when stationary and maneuvering in tight spaces.
