The 'Packer 1' is a cargo e-bike that is fitted with a motor that is capable of generating 750 watts as well as 55 pounds-feet of torque, enabling it to hit top speeds of 32 km/h with riding controlled via an eight-speed gear setup. Constructed on an aluminum frame, this particular cargo e-bike is capable of handling riders between roughly 5.2 and 6.5 feet tall, and is fitted with a cargo rack that can handle up to 80 kg of load. Set to be priced at $1,999, the 'Packer 1' is a fine example of how [electric mobility](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/micro-haule) doesn't only need to be about last-mile trips but can be used for more substantial urban life errands.
