The Grocery Run, the Campus Errand, the Weekend Haul. One Bike.
Here's the test for a cargo bike.
Load it with two bags of groceries and a case of water. Stop at three places on the way home. Climb the hill to your street. If the bike felt wobbly, if you had to swing your leg over a loaded rack at every stop, or if the motor jerked every time you started pedaling, it failed.
The Rattan Quercus passes. It's a step-thru cargo e-bike with a rack built into the frame, a 450-pound payload, fat tires for stability, and a torque sensor that makes loaded starts smooth instead of jumpy.
The Torque Sensor: Why Loaded Starts Feel Smooth
Many cargo bikes use a cadence sensor, which kicks the motor on at a set level as soon as the pedals turn. With a heavy load, that sudden surge can feel unsettling. The Quercus uses a torque sensor, which measures how hard you press the pedals and adds power in proportion. Push gently from a stop and the bike eases away; push harder up a hill and it pushes with you.
The 750W rear hub motor peaks at 1,500 watts and makes 80 Nm of torque, the pulling force that gets a loaded bike moving. A typical commuter e-bike makes 55 to 65 Nm. A thumb throttle helps with loaded starts, and a Shimano 8-speed drivetrain gives you gears for hills, with 3 riding modes and 5 assist levels.
Built to Carry
The rear rack is integrated into the frame, and the bike is rated for 450 pounds total, rider plus cargo. Kenda 20" × 4.0" fat tires keep the load low and stable, and a hydraulic suspension fork smooths out rough roads. The step-thru frame means you never swing a leg over a loaded rack.
Battery, Brakes, and Lights
The removable 48V 20Ah Samsung-cell battery holds 960 watt-hours (think of it as the gas tank). Rattan rates it at up to 80 miles, or 100 with an optional second battery. The included 4.5A fast charger refills it in about 4 to 5 hours, quicker than most.
Hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors front and rear stop heavy loads with a light squeeze. Integrated front and rear lights with a brake indicator and turn signals keep you visible, and the color display syncs with your phone. It's UL 2849 certified, with a battery rated to UL 2849 and UL 2271.
The Honest Part
- "Does cargo cut range?" Yes. The 80-mile rating drops with heavy loads, hills, throttle use, and cold. For long hauling days, consider the second battery.
- "How fast is it?" It's a Class 3 e-bike rated up to 30 MPH. Some paths restrict Class 3, so check your local rules.
- "How heavy is it?" 71 pounds plus an 11-pound battery, about 82 pounds total.
- "How should I load it?" Keep heavy items low and centered on the rack for the most stable ride.

The Quercus fits riders about 5'3" to 6'5" and comes in Avocado Green and Cement Gray. Pick it for groceries, campus errands, deliveries, and weekend hauling, with an easy step-thru frame and a natural pedaling feel.

Quercus Questions
What can I carry on it?
Groceries, panniers, a delivery box, camping gear, and more, as long as rider plus cargo stays under 450 lbs. Keep heavier items low and centered.
Is it good for delivery work?
It's a strong fit. The step-thru frame suits frequent stops, the rack carries a box or bags, and the fast charger gets you back out quickly.

Quick answers
The questions riders ask us most, answered up front. Want to talk it through? The Ride Desk is glad to help by chat or at (855) 970-3574.
What can I carry on it?
Groceries, panniers, a delivery box, camping gear, and more, as long as rider plus cargo stays under 450 lbs. Keep heavier items low and centered.
Is it good for delivery work?
It's a strong fit. The step-thru frame suits frequent stops, the rack carries a box or bags, and the fast charger gets you back out quickly.
Why buy from Vortex instead of somewhere else?
It's the same factory-sealed Rattan bike with the full manufacturer warranty. What you get on top: the free gear kit shown above, our price match (find it lower at another authorized dealer and we'll match it), and the Ride Desk. If anything goes wrong, you send us a message and a short video and we handle the warranty claim with Rattan for you, so you're never stuck in a support queue alone.
When will it arrive?
Usually in 7–10 days. Shipping is free to the lower 48 by FedEx or UPS, and a signature is required so your bike is never left on the porch. You'll get tracking by email as soon as it ships.
How much assembly is there?
The bike arrives mostly assembled. You'll typically attach the handlebar, front wheel, pedals, and seat, and the manufacturer's step-by-step video walks you through it. Get stuck? Send the Ride Desk a photo and we'll talk you through it.
Will it fit me, and can I handle it?
Check the specs above and the size chart in the photos. If you're near the edge of the height range, between frame sizes, or unsure about the weight, send us your height and inseam. We'll tell you straight, even if the answer is a different bike.
How far will it really go?
The range in the specs is the manufacturer's test number, usually measured with a light rider in a low assist level on flat ground. Heavier riders, hills, wind, cold, and throttle use all shorten it. Tell us your weight and your usual route, and we'll give you a realistic estimate.
Is it legal where I ride?
The class rating and top speed are in the specs below. In most states, an e-bike ridden within its Class 1, 2, or 3 limits doesn't need a license, registration, or insurance, but trail and town rules vary, so check yours. Any higher-speed modes are for private property only.
How should I charge and store it?
Use the included charger, charge on a hard surface away from anything flammable, and unplug once it's full. For longer storage, keep the battery partly charged in a cool, dry place and top it up now and then. Your owner's manual has the exact guidance for your model.
Can I pay over time?
Yes. Choose Shop Pay Installments at checkout: buy today and pay in 4 or more payments starting at 0% APR. Checking your eligibility won't affect your credit score. Rates from 0–36% APR. Payment options through Shop Pay Installments are subject to an eligibility check and are provided by these lending partners: affirm.com/lenders.
