BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

7 reasons to buy

  • Experts relish the CG2’s speed on climbs, even while carrying cargo.
  • Testers and owners praise the responsive pedal assist activation.
  • Tests show the Star Union hydraulic disc brakes provide ample stopping power for the bike when carrying cargo.
  • Testers enjoy the CG2’s comfortable ride quality on smooth roads, highlighting the large padded saddle.
  • The integrated rear rack has an above-average capacity of 250lb, and the bike supports 450lb. Testers find the CG2 agile for a heavy cargo bike.
  • The CG2’s range impresses in testing. One reviewer gets 30 miles of throttle-only riding; another gets 35 miles in PAS 5.
  • The CG2 comes with fenders, a headlight, and a taillight with brake activation and turn signals.

7 reasons not to buy

  • Reviewers find the ride uncomfortable over broken pavement, blaming the lack of suspension.
  • The CG2’s speedometer reads up to two miles per hour faster than an external GPS.
  • Multiple reviewers receive damaged bikes, including with scratched paint and broken taillights.
  • Experts report ghost pedaling before the 20mph PAS limit.
  • Testers complain the taillight and turn signals aren’t very bright.
  • The cargo accessory options for this bike are underwhelming.

Bottom line

The Mooncool CG2 is an electric cargo bike with a 750W motor, 960Wh battery, and 450lb payload capacity. Reviewers praise the climbing performance, range, responsive pedal assist, powerful brakes, and the rear rack’s high capacity. Experts mostly find the bike comfortable, but the lack of suspension can make for a harsh ride over bumpy surfaces. Complaints include a dim taillight, high weight, inaccurate speedometer, and ghost pedaling. Some testers also receive damaged bikes. Despite these drawbacks, reviewers feel the Mooncool CG2 offers good value in the entry-level cargo e-bike segment.

Mooncool CG2 Analysis: Worth the Investment?

I’m a big bikepacker, this isn’t for going up and down mountains or anything crazy like that, but if you want to do a trail that’s flat, you can take the kitchen sink with this.

Awesome New Cargo Bike – Mooncool CG2 Review

With all the accessories installed, it’s a beautiful bike; it looks really cool and rides really [well]. I do wish it went a little faster, but that’s okay… It’s not meant to be that fast; it’s meant to haul stuff…

Mooncool MC CG2 Electric Cargo Bike Review – Lots of Pep!

It’s a fairly basic bike… considering all the other things that are available on bikes today. It’s a rigid front fork, but it’s built strong, and I think that’s the whole purpose of the cargo bike.

CG2 Road Cruiser Mooncool

I’ve been really happy with it and I think you would too if you’re looking for a cargo-style e-bike, especially one that lets you haul both kid and cargo, because not all cargo bikes allow you to do that.
