Product news: The full-suspension Kettler Cargoline FS 800 received the Red Dot Product Design Award 2021. The e-cargo bike was evaluated according to the criteria of degree of innovation, functionality and durability, among other things. However, the winners of the Red Dot Award will only be officially celebrated during the Red Dot Design Week from June 21 to 25, 2021 - due to the current situation, of course online.
Kettler was able to fully convince the international jury with the full-suspension and electrically assisted cargo bike. The permissible total weight of 250 kg allows luggage or shopping to be carried effortlessly. Even as a taxi for children, the Cargoline FS 800 is a very interesting alternative to the car. The Bosch Cargon Line Cruise 25 drive with a torque of 85 Newton meters ensures stress-free pedaling. Despite the high loads, the e-cargo bike should be characterized by smooth running and maneuverability as well as stability and safety. Among other things, the modern steering system of the Elian hub in connection with a spring element below the loading area is responsible for this. With full suspension, even bad stretches of road should lose their terror. The Cargoline FS 800 is equipped with 45 millimeters of travel at the front, and 75 millimeters at the rear in conjunction with a RockShox Monarch damper ensure smooth driving. Of course, the ergonomics of the innovative model are not neglected either: The cockpit can be easily adjusted to drivers with a height of 1,60 to 2,10 meters using the quick release.
The winners of the Red Dot Award: Product Design will be celebrated online as part of the Red Dot Design Week from June 21 to 25, 2021. The winners' exhibition in the Red Dot Design Museum in Essen runs until the end of May next year.
