Are you riding on hilly roads even mountains with more than 3% inclination? Then we would advise you to go for the Mid-motor version.

Location of the motor
On our standard E versions, the motor is located in the rear wheel. The assistance really makes it feel like you’re cycling with a tailwind. On our Mountain version, the motor is located in the middle. This offers more stability.
Location of the battery
The battery is concealed underneath the rear carrier. Your bike is standard equipped with a rear carrier. The battery is concealed underneath the bench in the box. Your bike is not standard equipped with a rear carrier.
Type of assistance
The bikes with a rear wheel motor are assisted through rotation. Every time you make a full rotation with the pedals, the electric assistance will do its job. Depending on the electric assistance setting, you’ll receive more or less assistance.  Bikes with a motor in the middle provide assistance through power. The more resistance your bike feels, for example when cycling uphill, the more assistance it will provide. 
Gears
Electric bikes with a rear wheel motor are equipped with a derailleur. This means you can't shift gears while standing still. Electric bikes with a mid-drive motor have a stepless shifting system. Find any desired gear and even shift gears while standing still.
Which electric cargo bike version should I choose?
Do you frequently ride on even roads with an occasional small bridge? In that case the electric version is probably sufficient for you.  Do you frequently ride on hilly roads with an inclination of more than 3%? Then we would advise you to choose the Mountain version.
