Cargo e-bikes can easily creep into 4-digit price tags. In fact, most do. But not Buzz. The brand has been around since 2019, making folding and commuter-style e-bikes.<\/p>\n

And now they\u2019ve added the Beekeeper to their lineup. The Beekeeper is a mini-mullet (24×20) cargo e-bike with a claimed 40-mile range between charges. And, best of all, it costs less than the 4-digits we\u2019re used to seeing.<\/p>\n

Who is Buzz?<\/h2>\n
\n
\"Buzz<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n

It isn\u2019t Kevin\u2019s brother from Home Alone. Well, Buzz is Kevin\u2019s brother in the Christmas classic, but not in this context.<\/p>\n

Honestly, I hadn\u2019t heard of them either. But availability at Walmart.com and, especially, Huffy.com gives a pretty good hint. United Wheels Limited owns Buzz.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not familiar with United Wheels, they are the parent company of brands such as Huffy, Batch<\/a>, and Niner<\/a>. United Wheels launched Buzz as the dedicated e-bike corner of their bike portfolio.<\/p>\n

However, it was a bit more than that. Buzz also helps meet the needs of a changing transportation system. Especially in urban areas, more people are ditching their cars and going for electric commuters. <\/p>\n

And Buzz makes that transition a bit easier by offering their e-bikes at a pretty affordable price. Like the Beekeeper, a cargo e-bike for $800. <\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s not $800 right now. Despite the press material claiming a price tag of $800, if you\u2019ve already looked at Huffy\u2019s or Walmart\u2019s website, you\u2019ll see a price tag of $999. It seems that the $200 savings are for different sales that Buzz has already run and will hopefully run again.<\/p>\n

Regardless, a sub-$1,000 is a pretty good deal for a cargo e-bike. <\/p>\n

So, What is the Beekeeper?<\/h2>\n
\n
\"The<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n

Good question. The Buzz Beekeeper is a massive mixed-wheel (24\u201d up front, 20\u201d rear) cargo e-bike. It falls into the class 2 e-bike category, which means assistance kicks off at 20 MPH (likely a bit before). However, class 2 does have a throttle.<\/p>\n

The Beekeeper is equipped with a rear-hub motor producing 60Nm of torque and 500W of peak power. This power is paired to a 500Wh battery and boasts (up to) 40 miles between charges. <\/p>\n

And Buzz says the battery takes 6-7 hours to charge fully. There is also a center-mounted LCD screen displaying information such as speed, assist level, and battery life. A controller mounted on the left handlebar allows the rider to switch between modes and power the Beekeeper on and off.<\/p>\n

Now, who made the battery and motor? We don\u2019t know, and Buzz doesn\u2019t say. <\/p>\n

And it is big. How big? Well, again, Buzz doesn\u2019t say. The wheelbase is obviously long, but no geometry chart is provided. However, the Beekeeper does have a dropper seatpost, and Buzz says it fits riders from 5\u20192\u201d up to 6\u20193\u201d. <\/p>\n

Obviously, it\u2019s also a cargo bike, and those tend to carry, well, cargo. The Beekeeper has a carrying capacity of 400lbs on the extended rear platform rack. Buzz also offers several accessories for the Beekeeper, including a front rack and pannier bags. <\/p>\n
