Buzz Bicycles Beekeeper
Drop the Kids Off. Grab Groceries. Skip the Gas Station.
"You know those short car trips that feel ridiculous? The school that is 8 blocks away. The grocery store you can see from your porch. Those trips just found a better vehicle."
The Buzz Beekeeper is a electric cargo bike built for families who realized the car is overkill for half the trips they take. Two child seats on the back. Groceries up front. 400 lbs of total payload capacity. A 500W rear hub motor with 60Nm of torque that does not care how much you loaded on because it climbs hills anyway.
And it costs under $1,000. That is not a typo. The Beekeeper makes cargo e-bike ownership something you do not have to think twice about. 40 miles of range per charge. Front suspension for the potholes your city pretends do not exist. A center-mount LCD that tells you everything you need. This is the family errand machine.
"Here is the math most families never do. How many of your car trips are under 3 miles with only kids or groceries? For most families, it is over half. A cargo e-bike under $1,000 with 400 lb capacity and 40 miles of range replaces those trips. The Beekeeper is not competing with other cargo bikes. It is competing with your second car."
THIS RIDE IS FOR YOU IF...
- You are tired of starting the car for a 6-block trip to school or the store
- You want your kids to think the ride to soccer practice is the fun part of the day
- You need to carry a week of groceries without wearing a backpack that makes you walk funny
- You looked at other cargo bikes and your jaw dropped at the price, not in a good way
DESIGNED FOR REAL FAMILY LIFE
Not a Bike With a Rack. A Cargo Platform With Pedals.
The Beekeeper frame is aluminum alloy engineered from the ground up for cargo duty. This is not a regular bike with a rack bolted on. The rear platform holds two child carriers at the same time. The front rack swallows grocery bags. Total payload hits 400 lbs, which means you, the kids, the groceries, and the soccer gear. All at once.
Front suspension catches the potholes and speed bumps that hit twice as hard when you are loaded. The 24" front wheel and 20" rear wheel combination keeps the center of gravity low, so the bike stays predictable even when the kids are wiggling. This is a family cargo electric bike that feels stable on day one, not just after you "get used to it."
THE CARGO BIKE THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE A CARGO BIKE BUDGET
Under $1,000. Seriously.
Most cargo e-bikes cost $2,000 to $5,000. Go look. The Beekeeper delivers the same core capability at under $1,000. A 500W hub motor producing 60Nm of torque climbs hills with kids on the back. Five levels of pedal assist let you choose your effort. A throttle handles the intersections where you just want to get through the light without breaking a sweat.
The 48V 10.4Ah battery gives you 40 miles per charge. That is a week of school runs and grocery trips before you think about the charger. Recharges in 4 to 6 hours. The battery slides out for indoor charging, so you are not running an extension cord to the garage.
KEY FEATURES
400 lb Payload
You, two kids in their seats, groceries, and the soccer bag. All at once. No second trip needed.
500W Hub Motor
60Nm of torque that does not flinch when you add 200 lbs of cargo and point it at a hill.
Front Suspension
Catches the bumps before the kids feel them. Loaded cargo bikes hit potholes harder. This one absorbs them.
Center LCD Display
Speed, battery, assist level. All on one screen mounted where you can see it without looking down.
Dual Cargo Racks
Rear rack fits two child carriers. Front rack handles bags. Between the two, you are carrying what a car trunk carries.
Under $1,000
Not a stripped-down compromise. A genuine cargo e-bike at a price that makes the decision easy.
WHY THIS BUILD MATTERS
Here is the technical breakdown of why this bike stands out.
The Price Barrier Is Gone
Under $1,000 for a real cargo e-bike. Not a toy. Not a compromise. The Beekeeper makes the decision easy for families who were waiting for the price to make sense.
Charge Once, Errand All Week
40 miles covers a lot of school runs and grocery trips. Most families charge once or twice a week and never think about it.
Stable Even When Loaded
Low center of gravity. Mixed wheel sizing. The Beekeeper stays predictable when the back is loaded with kids and the front is loaded with bags. No surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Beekeeper carry two child seats?
Yes. The reinforced rear rack holds two child carriers at the same time. Total payload is 400 lbs including you, the kids, and whatever else you loaded up. School drop-off with a grocery stop on the way home. One trip.
How far can the Beekeeper go on one charge?
40 miles on a full charge. For context, if your school run is 2 miles and the grocery store is 1.5 miles away, that is over a week of errands on one charge. Recharges in 4 to 6 hours. Most families plug it in overnight and forget about it.
Is the Beekeeper good for hills?
The 500W motor delivers 60Nm of torque, which is plenty for loaded hill climbing. Hit the throttle on steep grades and the motor does the work. Your kids will not even notice the incline.
Does the Beekeeper have gears?
Single speed drivetrain. The motor and 5 levels of pedal assist handle the work that gears normally do. Simpler to maintain, nothing to shift, and the motor makes hills a non-issue even loaded.
What is the weight of the Beekeeper?
72 lbs assembled. That is light for a cargo bike. The aluminum frame keeps weight down without sacrificing the payload capacity. Easy enough to walk up a few stairs if you need to.
Does the Beekeeper have a throttle?
Yes. Cruise up to 20 mph without pedaling. Perfect for intersections, hills, or those mornings when you are running late for school drop-off and effort is not on the menu. Five levels of pedal assist are there when you want some exercise.
