Fantastic comparison, thank you so much! I was already leaning towards the kombi, and this seals the deal for me!

@kostyafedot551 10 месяцев назад

Best video comparison on those two cargo bikes on YT! I'm 275 (after week of starving) 6'2'', so only Kombi would haul me with bag of potatoes.

@rouvenmaccario Год назад

Good review! After watching this video I’ve ordered a yuba Kombi today ✌️

@peters2817 Год назад

Wonderful review and comparison. Thank you.

Thanks for watching!

@phatrickmoore Год назад

The Kombi is a very interesting bike, strikes a good balance between compact and full size. Size leans towards compact, capability to full size. Nice!

I love my kombi bike. I wish more people would try biking for shorter trips. It’s fun

@urbane-cyclist 9 месяцев назад

It's fun, it's great for you, it lets you enjoy your neighbourhood more, and does so many things that a car does, biking is awesome!

@ij2426 Год назад

Just an fyi, you can also store the short haul vertically if you have the clubhouse mini installed. That may be obvious to most of you but I know how some like to be extra sure about some things.

@urbane-cyclist Год назад

Yup! We covered that at 11:51 in the video - The Tern Short haul Works Vertically with the clubhouse installed while the Monkey Bars - when used on the Kombi have a rearward curve that protrudes beyond then end of the frame that disallow the vertical storage feature (same applies for a Yepp seat on the Kombi in the rearward position with or without Monkey Bars) -Owen

Great review and break down. Have a Kombi on the way.

@David-hi8wp Год назад

How is it?

@holland3g1 Год назад

@@David-hi8wp I've ridden only about 20 miles so far as we had a lbs assemble and it took a little while. It does well up big hills, but you still need to work a bit, on anything semi flat it is great and really provides good power. I am 6 feet 185lbs. My wife is 5 foot and I had to cut the seat post a few inches so it would go low enough for her to be comfortable. She can carry my two children aged 3 and 1 with no issues. The younger one is in a Thule seat and the older one holds on to the monkey bars. Both the kids absolutely love it and we are cruising around the property for short bursts. I am going to make a 25 mile round trip to the closest grocery store this week and will test it a bit more then! So far happy with it though and have no regrets. As an edit, the brakes that come with it are 20/30 dollar crappers and the LBS was not impressed, I ended up upgrading to some 4 piston Magura and have been happy, I didn't want to risk my wife sliding into traffic with the kids and felt the upgrade worth it.

@David-hi8wp Год назад

Magura are amazing breaks! I’d recommend a seat like this once the one year old can sit and hold his/her head

@David-hi8wp Год назад

Are the lights okay?

@David-hi8wp Год назад

They are in sale for 999 Euros here in Germany. Can I ask how much you paid, please?

@TheBikeLife Год назад

It's very cool how the Tern's front rack stays straight even when you crank the front wheel/fork. I guess the Yuba as well. I wonder how that feels when you turn it fully loaded!

@urbane-cyclist Год назад

the biggest challenge is the initial learning curve- it feels a little strange at first to not see your front wheel and the front rack not following your handle bars but once you get used to that (honestly only takes a few minutes) it handles the weight surprisingly well!

@3dmagix Год назад

Great review! How do they compare regarding quality and the electronics?

@urbane-cyclist Год назад

The models showcased in the video are both "Acoustic" aka non-electric standard pedal powered only bikes BUT both DO have pedal-assisted electric counterparts! The Tern Short Hauls electric counterpart is the Tern Quick Haul which uses a Bosch electric assist system. The Yuba Kombi's electric counterpart is the Yuba E-Kombi which uses a Shimano electric assist system. Both systems are "pedelec" or pedal assisted, meaning they use a mid mount motor and are engaged by a torque sensor in motor behind the cranks. Honestly not a huge difference in my opinion- I would always suggest going to your nearest retailer and try a back to back test drive to see if you can feel a difference!

@roisingough2516 5 месяцев назад

Great video! Thanks! I'm wondering about how a bigger child gets on and off, and safety if it were to topple over?

@urbane-cyclist 5 месяцев назад

Good question! The Yuba Kombi comes with a double-leg kickstand, making it much more stable. Tern also has the option to add a double-leg kickstand to their cargo bikes. The bikes are not likely to topple over without any reason, given their length and low centre of gravity, but once your passenger is on the bike, it's certainly best not to leave it unattended, especially with rowdier riders or heavier passengers. For larger passengers, the seating area also doesn't have anything to strap them in place, so in the event of any toppling, they would be easily able to get on or off, similar to how you might get off the saddle in the same event as the person who is pedaling. All told, with the cargo-specific geometry involved with these bikes, they're much less likely to fall over than a person with a childseat on a regular bike, since those are going to have a much higher centre of gravity and only one point of contact on their kickstand, and with the childseat on a regular bike, the child is strapped in, with no choice but to fall with the bike.

@phiphi70 2 месяца назад

Very interesting What is the kombi actually weight ? About 28-30 kg

@IrisHdd-bq8uj Год назад

Thanks you for your video, so cool! What's the difference about weight?

@urbane-cyclist Год назад

The listed weight without any additional accessories would be 50.7 Lbs (~23 Kgs) for the Kombi and the listed weight for the Short Haul would be 35.4 Lbs (16.1 Kgs).

@IrisHdd-bq8uj Год назад

Thank u for your answer

@adventure235 Год назад

Can the Tern fit two Yepp seats on the rear rack?

@urbane-cyclist Год назад

The Tern Short Haul is only suitable for a single passenger. If you're looking to Carry 2 Kids the Yuba Kombi would likely be a better fit. That being said- you could also consider the Tern GSD if you are considering a pedal assisted option- it's one of our best selling models. But if you are really set on the Tern Short Haul you could still combine this with a Burley Child trailer or similar to carry more then one child!

@natureshamy 2 месяца назад

I settled for a Kombi after watching this video (Love the bike) and thought it'd be a bummer to not be able to stand it with Monkey Bars as per this comment: 11:50 however, I don't know if my Kombi (just got it a week ago from the manufacturer) or the Monkey Bars, or both, are different from the ones tested here, because I can still stand it up vertically with the monkey bars installed.

@urbane-cyclist 2 месяца назад

There are definitely ways to park it upright with the Monkey Bars on there, but because the Monkey Bars are adjustable, it's not going to be universally true, or something we can always recommend! If you've got them a little shorter or longer, it can affect the balance! Great to hear yours are the perfect length though! :)

@michaelkulman7095 26 дней назад

I'm happy to learn of the possibility. Thanks for pointing that out.

@michaelkulman7095 26 дней назад

Will either of these fit on a bus bike rack?

@urbane-cyclist 26 дней назад

I actually have never taken any bike on a bus. So sadly I am not well versed in the compatibilities of bus racks and these bikes! Seeing as these are cargo bikes - the would likely be relatively heavy once fully accessorized and its likely that the accessories would also limit compatibility with a bus bike rack. So I think the effort to lift any cargo bike onto a bike rack is often a non-starter but this could vary depending on the buses and racks in different areas.

@michaelkulman7095 26 дней назад

@@urbane-cyclistFirst, thanks for the reply. I was thinking the compact cargo bikes might be an exception. Tern says theirs is the length of a regular bike in their advertising. I was thinking of bags or it's contents being removed from the bike and carried onto the bus. For me it would open up more possibilities, destinations, farther than I'd ride. I'd just not add much width via racks although I think one could pull off a centered "milk crate" or just a wide bag on a narrow rack. The length and weight of these makes me think it may be possible, especially the Tern. I was just curious if anyone has tried it. If someone has please tell us about it.

@cristhianserpa 3 месяца назад

Hey, just wondering if you could elaborate a bit more on the experience of carrying an adult on the rear of the kombi. I want to get a longtail bike both as my daily driver and also to take my girlfriend places. I don't want to get an electric model because I prefer regular bikes on my day to day (less maintenance, lighter, burns more calories). I'm just a bit concerned that riding with a passenger might make the bike too sluggish and potentially unsafe, like especially when taking off. Also the kombi is sooo much cheaper than any electric model.

@urbane-cyclist 3 месяца назад

I mean...its not particularly fast off the start with another passenger, but this also comes down to how you ride and your strength too. Tandem bikes are also a thing and SUPER fun, faster, easier... and only marginally bigger. But you can often find them second hand. But If you DO intend on riding around with your partner on the back of a Kombi, I wouldn't want to go too far or up too much elevation!

@cristhianserpa 3 месяца назад

@@urbane-cyclist a tandem would be a great option, but wouldn't want to use one for commuting 😅 Anyways, thanks for the input! My city is pretty much flat, but I think it's a safer bet going with an E-Bike for that extra peace of mind.

@enriquesaez1996 Год назад

I wonder if the Kombi fits in a regular elevator

@urbane-cyclist Год назад

I'm not sure I've ever heard of a "standard" sized elevator but that being said, the bike isn't THAT large and you can stand it vertically to fit in smaller spaces. The bike does get a little harder to fit depending on accessory choices such as monkey bars/yepp seats/ bread basket/running boards which end up "squaring" off the overall shape and being a little harder to sneak into small spaces along with limiting it's vertical storage potential.

@enriquesaez1996 Год назад

@@urbane-cyclist Thanks. My elevator (standard, to my knowledge) fits 2 persons, 3 crowded. Taller buildings tend to have bigger elevators. I guess I will have to sacrifice 100 pounds (cargo) and go for the Tern Short Haul. I really like the Yuba, but carrying it to a second floor in Miami would be a suicide. All that without counting my weekly groceries.

@urbane-cyclist Год назад

I suppose my idea of a standard elevator is much bigger then that! In Toronto buildings that require elevators tend to be very tall so they usually have no problem fitting bikes, or they also have freight elevators or a dedicated bike room adjacent a parking area so its not usually a consideration. I would probably lean towards the short haul in that case if it works for you otherwise.

@enriquesaez1996 Год назад

@@urbane-cyclist You are absolutely right. I remember visiting Toronto a few years ago viewing the skyline from the TD tower. Here in Miami you only see tall buildings in the Brickell area (downtown) and some residential buildings in Miami Beach. Other than that, 5 floors is quite standard. By the way, very very few people use bikes are their main mean of transportation.
