The best Lovens cargo bike accessories for the Explorer 1 S50, S75 and S85
Deel
You have a Lovens Explorer 1 and you want to make it a bit smarter and more personal. Understandable. Because a cargo bike is only truly complete when it's also a bit 'yours'. The S50, S75, and S85 seem very similar at first glance – the same sturdy box, the same sleek look – but under the hood (literally) there are real differences. In this blog, we explain what these are, and which Lovens cargo bike accessories suit each model. So you know what you're buying, and what you can add to it.
What is the difference between the Lovens S50, S75, and S85?
The S-numbers do not represent size; they represent motor power in Newton-meters (Nm). This is the torque: the more Nm, the more pulling power your motor delivers.
The S50 has a Bosch Active Line Plus motor with 50 Nm of torque and a Shimano Nexus 5-speed gear system. The S75 upgrades to a Bosch Performance Line motor with 75 Nm and a stepless Enviolo hub. The S85 has the most powerful Bosch Cargo Line motor with 85 Nm, also with stepless Enviolo gearing.
The external dimensions are identical for all three (260 x 70 x 105 cm), and the battery, 400, 545, or 725 Wh, can be chosen freely for each model. The difference, therefore, lies purely in how much motor power you want under your feet.
Lovens S50 accessories: ideal for the urban daily rider
The S50 is the entry-level model of the line. Thanks to the Bosch Active Line motor, this model is ideal for flat terrain and daily use in the city. Agile, reliable, and perfectly suitable for those who don't have to climb a mountain every day.
And precisely because the S50 is such a no-nonsense city bike, smart accessories are especially welcome here. Start with the cup holder for Lovens cargo bikes, because even on a short school run, you want to have your drink with you. The cup holder fits snugly on the box frame and keeps the drink stable, even on cobblestones.
Finally, the luggage hooks are a small upgrade with a big effect. Bag on the hook, child in the box, and off you go. No more overturned bags or groceries loose in the box.
Lovens S75 accessories: for the all-rounder who wants everything
The S75, with its Bosch Performance Line motor of 75 Nm, is suitable for both commuting and sporty rides on hilly terrain. This is the most versatile Lovens and also the most popular, and then you want it to be complete.
The cup holder here is not an option but a basic right. Combine it with the transport hooks, so that shopping bags, a sports bag, or school backpacks stay neatly outside the box. Less clutter for the children, less searching when you arrive.
The Box Stripes really come into their own on the S75. Go for a playful color for those family vibes, or choose something sleeker if you're a bit of a hipster parent. The stickers are easy to apply yourself and leave no residue.
Do you ride with two children? Then luggage hooks are not a luxury. Anything that isn't a child goes on the hook. It's that simple.
Lovens S85 accessories: for those who want the maximum
The S85 features the most powerful Bosch Cargo Line motor, specially developed for heavy loads and steep hills. This is the cargo bike for those who truly want to carry everything and still ride smoothly.
The S85 fits the complete package: cup holder, transport hooks, luggage hooks, and Box Stripes. The motor handles it all effortlessly, and you benefit from maximum organization around your box.
The transport hooks are perhaps most valuable on the S85. With a larger load, you really don't want everything loose in the box, especially if you're also carrying children. Hooks on the side make life so much more organized.
