Yuba expands the possibilities of what a bike can do with the el Boda Boda. Yuba's Boda Boda cargo bike has always offered huge storage capacity, with options for an expansive front basket, rear cargo seat or storage rack, and cavernous panniers. The 'el' adds a boost of electric power in two flavors, with adjustable pedal assist and a straight-up throttle for pedal-free power.
In addition to the practicalities of adding electric power to a cargo bike — the extra oomph is most appreciated when starting a heavy load from a stop — the 350w motor also adds something else: fun. Every test rider who piloted the big bike and every small passenger who climbed on the back smiled widely when the throttle kicked in and the instant electric torque snapped the bike forward.

Cargo options
The el Boda Boda can be configured as a kid hauler, a stuff hauler, or both. Yuba is no stranger to cargo bikes. The original Boda Boda is a standard bike with geometry configured for stable handling with a long frame and heavy load.
The el Boda Boda comes stock with the bamboo rear rack, to which you can strap cargo or on which a child can set. There are loads of optional accessories, such as an expansive front 'Bread Basket' that can hold a 50lb / 25kg load and cavernous 'Baguette' panniers that have a 10gal / 40l capacity. If your rear load happens to be a small human, there are accessories like a padded seat, foot pegs, and a ring or mini bars for them to hold onto.
The fork is spring-loaded to help balance the load, especially when the bike is stopped, and a moto-style, two-foot kickstand stabilizes the bike when not being ridden.
