Versatile and powerful
The VIA Shorty is a compact electric cargo bike with versatile transport options on the loading area and luggage rack. On the front loading area, a structure with two aluminum cases offers over 70 liters of waterproof and lockable storage space.
The cases are manufactured by VIA's parent company SW-MOTECH and have been used on thousands of motorcycles worldwide for many years. The setup can be removed in just a few simple steps to make room for a platform for transporting Euroboxes in 40 x 60 cm format.
Versatile luggage rack
The luggage rack is designed to carry loads of up to 60 kilograms. It offers space for two small children on the seat or one child in a child seat. In addition, waterproof VIA bike bags with the new V-Loc fastening system can be transported on the luggage rack.
Waterproof and lockable
The VIA Shorty offers mounting points for waterproof and lockable cases on the front loading area. The aluminum cases each have a volume of 37 liters and have been tried and tested over many years of use on motorcycles. The cases can be removed in just a few simple steps.
Shimano EP6 CRG
The powerful Shimano EP6-Cargo motor with its 85 Nm of torque gives the VIA motorcycle a powerful push when starting at traffic lights. It also supports you with consistently high performance over long distances. You can choose between three different levels of support, depending on how much you want to pedal yourself. The 630 watt-hour battery disappears into the steering column and is also easily accessible for charging.
How far you can travel on a single charge depends on a number of factors: the load, the route, the selected assistance mode and the outside temperature. A fully charged battery will give you approximately 60 kilometers of travel on a single charge at the highest assistance level.


Gates drive system
The low-maintenance Gates belt drive system sets new standards in terms of durability and cleanliness. No oil, no dirt – just pure efficiency. The Shimano Nexus 5-speed hub, which shifts automatically, makes riding even more comfortable for you.
Smooth running and stability
You'll travel safely with a solid Suntour Mobie A34 suspension fork and special Schwalbe Pick Up tires, developed for cargo bikes. Shimano 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes ensure safe and reliable braking. With a wheelbase of 210 cm and a sturdy chassis, you'll enjoy a smooth and safe ride – even when loaded up to 80 kilograms.


Supernova lighting system
The high-quality Supernova lighting system ensures your safety. The Mini 2 Pro front light with high beam function and the TL3 Pro rear light with integrated brake light make you visible even in the dark – up to 1000 meters.
Ready for the Fidlock world
You can attach various Fidlock accessories to the Twist-Base in no time at all. There are water bottles, small bags or the holder for the ABUS Bordo folding lock for the Twist-Base.

VIA 2 - Special features for greater comfort and safety
Nine gears and a huge range
With the 3x3 hub, you can ride the VIA 2 cargo bike with ease, even on steep inclines. You control the nine gears using the control dial on the right handlebar grip. With 554% gear range, the 3x3 hub offers sufficient easy gear ratios for riding a cargo bike in mountainous cities.


Secure stand on all grounds
The lockable center stand offers significant advantages, particularly when the bike is heavily loaded or parked on sloping roads. The lock secures the center stand in the parking position and prevents it from slipping. The center stand is automatically locked when the bike is jacked up. A lever on the handlebars is used to release the lock.
Additional comfort for your ride
The Limotec seat post confidently absorbs shocks from potholes, cobblestones, or other uneven surfaces. The tension of the built-in coil spring can be adjusted using an Allen screw. 50 mm of suspension travel provides additional comfort when riding the VIA cargo bike.
