Product Details

Overview & Technology

Schwalbe PICK-UP is Schwalbe’s first true cargo tire — engineered specifically for e-cargo and heavy-load urban bikes. It pairs the Addix E compound with Schwalbe's SUPER DEFENSE double carcass construction (2 x 67 EPI) to give riders a stable, predictable feel even when loaded. The tire is e-bike approved and ECE‑R75 certified for use on electric cargo bikes. The PICK-UP uses a wire bead clincher construction and is designed to work across narrow and wide cargo frames. With a labeled size of 20" x 2.35 (ISO 20"/406) and a 26" variant available, the tire balances rolling efficiency with a wide contact patch to handle heavy loads without sacrificing traction or braking performance.

Key Features & Benefits

Addix E compound: Formulated for e-bike use, Addix E improves wear resistance and maintains grip at a range of temperatures and speeds typical of cargo riding. Riders will notice better traction on wet city streets and longer tread life under heavy loads. • SUPER DEFENSE double carcass: Multiple carcass layers reinforce the sidewalls and casing to resist deformation and punctures when carrying cargo or passengers. • ECE‑R75 / e-bike approved: Certified for electric-assist applications — safe at higher speeds and sustained motor torque. • Wire bead clincher: Robust, easy to install and compatible with the majority of cargo bike rims. • Wide contact patch (2.30–2.60" range): Delivers stability, predictable cornering and even wear under load. • Recommended pressure 30–65 PSI: Broad pressure window lets you tune firmness to bike, cargo weight and comfort needs.

Fit, Mounting & Compatibility

The PICK-UP is available in 20" x 2.35 (ISO 406) and a 26" variant, both with a wire bead clincher construction and 2 x 67 EPI casing. It's designed for common cargo and longtail frames but always check frame and fork clearance before purchase — the effective width range is 2.30–2.60". The tire is labeled as e-bike approved and meets ECE‑R75 safety standards for electric-assist bikes. Note: the PICK-UP is not advertised as tubeless-ready. Use an inner tube sized for the tire and rim combination unless you confirm tubeless compatibility with your rim and Schwalbe guidance. Adjust tire pressure according to total system weight (bike + rider + cargo) — the recommended range is 30–65 PSI; heavier loads require higher pressures, while lighter setups can run lower for comfort and grip.

Who It's For

The Schwalbe PICK-UP is ideal for cargo riders who need a dependable, load-rated tire for daily hauling: couriers, family carriers, tradespeople, and anyone using an e-cargo bike for urban deliveries or shopping. It suits riders who prioritize puncture resistance, structural strength and e-bike compatibility over the marginal weight savings of lightweight commuter tires. Choose the PICK-UP if you frequently carry heavy loads, want a tire certified for electric-assist bikes, and need a stable, grippy tyre that holds shape under sustained weight and motor assist.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Schwalbe PICK-UP safe for e-cargo bikes?

Yes. The PICK-UP is e-bike approved and ECE‑R75 certified, meaning it has been tested for higher speeds and the forces associated with electric-assist cargo bikes. This certification ensures the casing and construction are suitable for heavier loads and sustained motor torque.

Can I run the PICK-UP tubeless?

The PICK-UP is supplied as a wire bead clincher and is not marketed as tubeless-ready. We recommend using a correctly sized inner tube unless you confirm tubeless compatibility with your specific rim and consult Schwalbe's technical guidance.

What tire pressure should I use with cargo?

Schwalbe lists a pressure window of 30–65 PSI. Adjust pressure based on combined bike and cargo weight: heavier loads toward the upper end for stability and to prevent pinch flats; lighter loads toward the lower end to improve comfort and traction. Check load and rim manufacturer recommendations as well.

How does Super Defense help prevent punctures?

SUPER DEFENSE uses multiple carcass layers and reinforced sidewalls to resist cuts and penetration from road debris. The thicker, denser casing helps the tire maintain structure under load and reduces the chance of punctures compared with single-carcass commuter tires.

Will this tire fit my cargo bike?

The PICK-UP comes in common cargo sizes (20" x 2.35 and 26" variant). Confirm your frame and fork clearance for a 2.35" tire (effective range 2.30–2.60") and ensure your rim accepts a 20"/406 or 26" wheel and wire bead clincher. If in doubt, measure clearances or consult your bike manufacturer.

How heavy is the tire and will it affect range?

The 20" x 2.35 PICK-UP weighs approximately 910 g. Heavier, reinforced cargo tires will add rotational mass and slightly reduce e-bike range compared with lightweight commuter tires, but the trade-off is higher load capacity, durability and safety for carrying cargo.

Buying Guide

When choosing a cargo tire, prioritize load-rating, puncture protection and e-bike approval. Look for reinforced casings, like Schwalbe’s SUPER DEFENSE, and compounds formulated for e-bike torque and higher sustained speeds (Addix E). Confirm bead type and rim compatibility — many cargo bikes use wire bead clinchers for robustness. Decide on width based on frame clearance and handling preferences: wider tyres increase stability and comfort under load but require more clearance and may slightly reduce top speed and range. Finally, always set tire pressure to match the combined weight of bike, rider and cargo within manufacturer-recommended ranges.
