I love, love, love my e-cargo bike (Tern GSD, for those either looking for recommendations or establishing their own mental e-bike rider pecking order) and you nailed everything about what makes it so enjoyable. The cherry on top is how much more my little ones (1 & 3 yo) enjoy riding on it compared to sitting in a car seat. It's really astounding how much traffic is caused by microcommutes, especially daycare/school runs.

Here in suburban USA we're dealing with increasingly aggressive driver behavior - I like to remind others that every biker you see along your commute is one fewer car you're sitting behind ;)

Thanks for writing this. If anyone is one the fence about making the plunge, do it and don't look back!

Zero pecking order for fellow e-bike riders—we're all brothers (and sisters) in arms!
