Vogue Carry 3 - Black

Vogue Carry 3 at GOfatbike

The Vogue Carry 3 is an electric cargo bike with three wheels, designed to carry children and daily groceries. You sit on a regular bike saddle, steer with a normal handlebar, and in front of you is a spacious wooden box. The motor assists as soon as you start pedaling, so a full load isn’t a heavy task. In this explanation, we’ll go through what the Carry 3 can do, how it handles, and what to consider before choosing it.

Cargo box and space for children

The wooden box can hold four children. They sit on benches with safety belts to keep them in place, and they can get in and out themselves using the steps. Besides children, you can just as well carry groceries, bags, or a crate in it. The box is low between the two front wheels, making it easier to lift young children in and out. If you want to keep the children dry in the rain, there is a rain cover available as an accessory. Handy if you really use the bike every day.

Stability and steering

The Carry 3 has three wheels: two in front and one in the back. This means the bike stays upright without a kickstand, even when you secure a child or load the box. For many parents, that’s the big advantage of a tricycle. The steering feels different than on a regular bike. At low speeds, you need to get used to how the box moves along, and in corners, you don’t lean in like on two wheels. After a few rides, you get the hang of it. Starting off slowly and not steering too sharply helps at first.

Range and the battery

The battery has a capacity of 540Wh and is removable from under the bench seat in the box, where you can lock it. How far you can go on one charge depends on the weight in the box, the wind, how much assistance you use, and how often you have to start from stops at traffic lights. With children in the back, the range decreases faster than with an empty box. So don’t count on a fixed number, but on a range. You can take the battery out and charge it indoors, so the bike can stay outside.

Motor, gears, and brakes

The Ananda M81 mid-motor delivers 80Nm of torque and is positioned low in the frame, exactly where you want the weight to be. A pedal force sensor detects how hard you pedal and adjusts the assistance accordingly, which feels natural when accelerating with a full load. Shifting is done with a Shimano Nexus 8 hub gear, which is low-maintenance and can also shift quietly. The hydraulic disc brakes front and rear are important for this kind of weight: they grip evenly and keep working when it's wet. You pedal yourself and the assistance cuts out around 25 km/h, so this counts as a regular electric bike.

Who is this cargo bike for

The Carry 3 suits families who want to leave the car behind more often for school, sports club, or shopping trips. The three wheels provide stability when you frequently stop and start with children. To be honest: a tricycle is wider and heavier than a regular bike, so it’s less handy for tight sheds or narrow hallways, and steering takes some practice. If you’re looking for something light and nimble for short solo rides, this is not your bike. For transporting children and goods, it’s right in its element.
