The Kingbull Voyager is a fat tire cargo e-bike with a big rear rack, passenger foot pegs and hydraulic brakes, and it cost $1,100 when I recorded my review (3:31 to 3:36). I tested it for several weeks for my video review (0:05 to 0:08), and my bottom line was that for the price point, this is a fantastic e-bike that gives you a lot for the money (4:44 to 4:53).
Everything I say about the ride and the features comes from that video, with time stamps so you can watch each part yourself. Specs I didn’t measure, like weight, range, top speed and payload, come from Kingbull’s Voyager technical specifications page. Kingbull now sells a newer Voyager 2.0, and I checked its price and stock on Oct 27, 2026.
Should you buy one?
The reason to buy the Voyager is simple: it does cargo bike jobs for less than most cargo bikes. When I wrapped up, I pointed out that it comes in below a lot of the other cargo e-bikes with a big built-in rear rack that can hold a significant amount of weight (4:53 to 5:00). You get a passenger setup, fenders, lights and turn signals for that money.
The question now is which Voyager you can buy. The original I filmed is gone from Kingbull’s store. As of Oct 27, 2026, Kingbull sells the Voyager 2.0 at $1,199 in orange or gray, $1,339 with a trailer, or $1,458 with a power station upgrade, and every option shows as available. The Amazon listing for the original from my video description now returns Amazon’s “Page Not Found” (checked Oct 27, 2026), so the link below goes to Kingbull’s Voyager 2.0 page.
The 2.0 is not the bike I rode. Kingbull lists a 720Wh battery, a torque sensor, 76 lb and a 450 lb payload for it, so treat my ride impressions as a guide to the family, not a review of the newer model.
Built to haul a passenger or groceries
This is where the Voyager earns its place. Because it’s a cargo e-bike, you can either carry stuff or carry a passenger, and it comes with little foot pegs for whoever rides on the back (2:04 to 2:12). There’s plenty of storage space on that rack (2:12 to 2:16), and I liked that Kingbull included bungee straps. They make it easy to tie something down quickly when you run up to the store (2:16 to 2:23). Kingbull rates the rear rack at 180 lb and the whole bike at 440 lb.
I didn’t carry a passenger or load the rack to its limit in my testing, so those are Kingbull’s numbers, not mine.
Two kickstands, and why that matters with kids
The Voyager gives you the option of a center kickstand, and I liked that. A center stand makes things easier if you mount a child seat on the back, because the bike stays really stable while you get your kid on and off (2:42 to 3:09). There’s also a regular rear kickstand (3:09 to 3:13). I said I’d use the rear one day to day, but the center stand is nice when you’re loading a bunch of stuff on the back (3:13 to 3:18).
Brakes, throttle and controls
Kingbull put hydraulic disc brakes on this bike (0:29 to 0:32), which is not a given at this price. Kingbull’s blog lists 180mm rotors.
On the left side, you have the front brake lever, a thumb throttle that works from zero (in the video, the bike takes right off), your controls and a little bell (0:30 to 0:41). To turn the headlight on or off, you hold the plus button for about two seconds, and a small logo comes on in the center of the display (0:41 to 0:51). On the right side, you have the rear hydraulic brake and the shifter, and below them, left and right turn signals. When you switch one on, you can see it flash at the back of the bike (1:07 to 1:25).
The grips are synthetic leather, and I really like this style. They give your palm a nice place to rest, and that makes the bike more comfortable to ride (0:17 to 0:29). The right side has the same really comfortable grip (1:05 to 1:12).
The display is basic
The center display is a color screen, but it’s pretty basic. You don’t get many extra bells and whistles with it (0:57 to 1:05). If you want app connectivity or a lot of ride data, this isn’t that bike. Kingbull lists a USB port on the display.
Lights, tires and the front end
At the front, you get a suspension fork and a massive LED headlamp that’s pretty bright at night (1:34 to 1:40). Kingbull lists the fork as an 80mm hydraulic unit. The 4 inch fat tires are built for the road, I’d say, and they come on some very stylish rims (1:40 to 1:49). Kingbull lists them as 20 by 4.0 inch CST tires.
Front and rear fenders come standard (1:49 to 1:51). Later in the video I came back to the safety side: you get the fenders, plus an integrated headlight and tail light that increase rider safety, even at this lower price point (3:31 to 3:42).
Battery, motor and gears
The battery is integrated into the frame in a separate color (1:51 to 1:54), and there’s an option for a second battery that mounts behind the seat (1:57 to 2:04). Kingbull listed the original main battery as 48V 17.5Ah (the current Voyager 2.0 is 720Wh), with a rated range of up to 60 miles, a 750W motor with a 1,300W peak and a top speed of 28 mph. I didn’t test range or top speed.
The drivetrain is a very basic shifter with seven gears in the back and a single ring up front. As I put it, nothing to write home about (2:37 to 2:42).
What I didn’t like
Two things bugged me. First, the area near the crank is where Kingbull put the charge controllers and the rest of the electronics, under a big black cover. I think it looks a little cheesy, and I’d rather have seen it smaller, though that’s my own taste in design (3:18 to 3:29).
Second, fit for taller riders. I’m about 6’1”, and the bike fit me as far as adjusting the seat up and down. But if you’re a bit taller, keep in mind there’s minimal vertical adjustment on the handlebars, although you can tilt them forward and back (3:57 to 4:15). Kingbull lists a rider range of 5’1” to 6’5”.
Kingbull also lists the weight at 77 lb, so plan on a ground floor garage rather than carrying it up stairs.
What I didn’t test
I didn’t run a range test, a top-speed test or a braking test, and I didn’t weigh the bike. I didn’t carry a passenger or load the rack to its limit. The 60 mile range, 28 mph top speed, 77 lb weight and 440 lb payload are Kingbull’s numbers.
How it compares with cargo bikes I’ve filmed
The cargo bike I’d hold it up against first is the Rad RadWagon 4. I used the RadWagon 4 for pool runs, trips around town and grocery runs, and said its low center of gravity keeps it stable with a full load. Rad lists a 750W geared hub, a 48V 14Ah (672Wh) battery, 22 by 3 inch tires, about 77 lb and a 350 lb total payload with a 120 lb rack. The Voyager’s listed battery is bigger, its tires are wider, and Kingbull rates it for more weight. The RadWagon 4 was $1,299, down from $1,799, but out of stock at Rad in October 2026.
The Aventon Abound and the longer Aventon Abound LR are the step up. I said the Abound LR has room on the back for bigger kids or even an adult, and I’d highly recommend it if you need to carry kids or a lot of cargo. Aventon lists the Abound LR with a torque sensor, hydraulic brakes, a 733Wh battery, 88 lb and a 440 lb total payload with a 143 lb rack, at $1,999 as of Oct 22, 2026. That’s $800 more than a Voyager 2.0 today.
The Blix Packa is the long range option. The one I tested had two batteries, which Blix rates for 80 miles, and my two kids fit on the back easily. Blix sells the Packa Genie at $2,099 as of Oct 23, 2026.
All of those rival specs come from the brands, as listed on my review pages for each bike. If the Voyager’s appeal is the price, it still wins that comparison by a wide margin.
Who it’s for
The Voyager makes the most sense for a family that wants to carry a child or a passenger on a budget, with foot pegs and a center stand for loading a child seat (2:04 to 2:12, 2:42 to 3:09). It also suits anyone who runs errands and wants quick tie downs (2:16 to 2:23), and night riders who want a bright headlamp and turn signals (1:34 to 1:40, 1:15 to 1:25). Tall riders who want higher bars, and anyone who needs to carry the bike up stairs, should look elsewhere.
FAQ
Can it carry a passenger?
Yes. It comes with foot pegs, and Kingbull rates the rear rack for 180 lb. I didn’t test it with a passenger.
Does the throttle work from a stop?
Yes, the thumb throttle works from zero (0:32 to 0:36).
Will it fit a tall rider?
It fit me at 6’1”. Kingbull lists riders from 5’1” to 6’5”. The bars only tilt, though, and don’t rise much (3:57 to 4:15).
Is the Voyager 2.0 the same bike?
No. Kingbull lists a 720Wh battery and a torque sensor for the 2.0. I haven’t ridden it.
