Adjustable wheelbase with the DynamicDrops
Cargo and passenger needs change. When the time comes you can swap your rear rack to our shorter Sport RearRack, move the wheel into the forward position, and your bike magically* transforms into an even more compact cargo bike. *Magical abilities not required.
Details matter
From components to accessories to the electric drive system, we make sure everything is hand-selected to give you the best riding experience for you and your passengers.
Shimano EP8 Drive Unit
The Shimano STEPS EP8 e-bike motor has a top pedal-assist speed of 20 mph and up-to 85 nM of torque for hilly terrain or heavier loads. With up to 400% of e-assist, you’ll cruise up hills with your bike loaded or unloaded. Learn more about the Shimano STEPS EP8 system here.
Shimano 630Wh Battery
With 630Wh, you’ll be able to ride further without having to stop and recharge. A single 630 watt-hour battery provides between 30 to 60 miles per charge, depending on conditions.
Shimano E5003 Computer
The E5003 cycling computer gives you easy handlebar access to control your ebike system. With large display and easy to use button layout, you’ll take less time thinking about your electric assist and more time enjoying your adventure.
SRAM NX11 Components
Precise shifting and a clutch rear derailleur give you quick gear changes to get into the right gear for any terrain. Paired with a wide range 11-speed 11 tooth – 42 tooth cassette, no hills will stand in your way.
Hydraulic disc brakes
Hydraulic brakes offer more power for braking and they self adjust to keep your brakes powerful as the pads wear.
ED black coating
The longevity of your bike is important to us. For this reason, all RFA frames are painted with an internal and external rust proofing.
Convertible RFA WheelSkirts
If you decide to switch your bike up to Sport Mode, your existing WheelSkirt will actually convert down to fit the shorter RFA RearRack so you can still safely carry passengers.
Sturdy center kickstand
Load and unload cargo and rear passengers with confidence and ease thanks to the solid and stable dual leg RFA KickBack center kickstand.
Rear foot rests
The RFA comes stock with a set of RFA FootRests which give your rear passengers a comfortable place for their feet while offering additional support for cargo in bags.
Integrated front and rear lights
The RFA comes ready to ride anytime of day or night with a Herrmans H-Black Pro front light and H-Track Dynamo rear light.
Full metal fenders
Full metal fenders with Xtra-strong mounting points to keep you dry in all conditions. Wide and tough. Built for everyday use.
