OUR OPINION
For everyday adventures
The Multicharger3 is the perfect longtail for those who commute medium-length distances after dropping the kids at school or for couples who have similar heights and, therefore, can use the same frame size.
The advantage of having a bigger wheel in a longtail is that you ride faster and feel more comfortable on the bumpy roads of Porto.
Those who ride it feel secure and stable and even call it a tank because of its robustness.
Another advantage of this longtail is that it's the only one with a variant that supports up to 45km/h (HS variants), which we strongly suggest everyone try before buying it.
The benefit of being able to ride at 34 km/h, for example, on the road, might mean that the car behind you won't have any incentive to try to pass you or give you the extra confidence of riding in the middle of the road if necessary.
