Will the Argo Cargo Kit 2 (the Argo Fy) work with my bike?

Great question!

We have a whole page dedicated to this question. Here you go!

Does the Argo Cargo Kit 2 work with ebikes (electric bikes)?

It will work with many rear hub motor electric bikes.

It will not work with mid-electric or front hub motor bikes. Feel free to look here for more info about the bikes it is compatible with.

Does the Argo Work with Mid-electric/Mid-engine Bikes?

No. It's a little complicated. Here is our explanation.

In essence, the motor mounted to the frame has severe limitations for hanging weight on it.

Can I use the Argo Cargo Kit with a longtail?

It isn't recommended, but... You sure can.

It will steer really slowly and turning radius will be gigantic. Have fun.

 

Can the Argo Cargo Kit Work with my Full Suspension Bike?

You can... however...This is not recommended due to the extra pressure put on the rear suspension in ways that will make it ride strangely.

 

It isn't necessarily going to break anything, but the overall ride of the cargo bike will most likely be compromised.

Can I use a bike with a suspension fork?

Yes, we will be offering a locking system that will work for 95% of bikes.

The Argo is not to be ridden with the bicycle suspension fork that is NOT locked out.

What Kinds of Bottom Brackets can the Argo Cargo Kit Work With?

English threaded 68mm, 73mm, 83mm and 100mm. 83mm and 100mm require the Wide BBLink upgrade.

Can you ship the Argo to ___________? How much is shipping?

The fastest way to see if we ship to your country is to add an Argo to your cart. And we also have a page dedicated to shipping.

 

Can you tell me how much fees will be when I receive my Argo in my country?

Unfortunately, we really have no way to know exactly what will be charged to you around tariffs, customs or fees. You may consult your local accountant to see if they have any insights.

 

What Should I Pump the Tire/Tyre up to?

We like the Argo between 50 and 60 psi (3.4 to 4.1 bar). You may like it lower if you have lighter loads or slippery conditions. You may like it higher if you are carrying more weight or you love to go fast.

What Parts Need to Be Lubed on the Argo Cargo Kit?

Once a year, we grease the quick release levers (just for good measure), the teflon bushings and the steering heim joints.

Otherwise, you can use teflon lube anywhere that you may here a squeak.

Do you have a rain cover? Other accessories?

Yup, we have a rain canopy. Other accessories are in the works.

Can I get a pro-deal if I work in the outdoor industry?

Probably. Email scott@argobikes.com and let's talk about it. We love helping out our fellow passionate humans.
