MONKEYBIKE MonkeyTail - Tropical Pink

MonkeyBike MonkeyTail Tropical Pink at GOfatbike

The MonkeyBike MonkeyTail in tropical pink is an electric longtail that stands out and is practical. The extended frame provides space for children, a passenger, or a load of groceries, while the warm tropical pink color ensures your bike is immediately recognizable among all the black and gray ones. You sit upright, the motor assists as soon as you pedal, and the wide tires keep everything calm and stable. Great for families who often leave the car behind. Below you can read what this model can do and what to consider before you choose.

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. Child seats, crates, or bags can be placed on both sides of the extended carrier. 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 off, but once you regularly carry people or items, you more than make up for it. If you mainly want a light, agile bike, you might want to look elsewhere. In tropical pink, it also immediately stands out among the rest.

Carrying children or a passenger

Most people choose a longtail for this reason: you can take someone with you. You can place one or more child seats on the rear carrier, and with accessories like bars and footrests, 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

Up to 25 km/h, the motor assists; 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 the 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.
