How am I going to bring home groceries for my family of 4 on an E-Bike?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

I do groceries for 2 people once a week with a bus and my legs. With an e-bike and a cargo trailer it would be trivial.

You get an electric cargo bike. The idea only sounds terrifying, no? But that's because you're imagining riding the thing with your kids through car traffic. If you have the infrastructure to make it practical to run errands with vehicles like this, without sharing paths with cars? Just other vehicles of similar size and speed? Suddenly it's much more sensible.
