I have a second, more cargo oriented, e-bike on back order. If anyone from rad powered bikes is reading this I think your decision to use proprietary tire sizes for your cargo bikes was insanely stupid.
I snagged last years model of Urban Arrow from a local dealer, one of their last before the long wait for the 2022s to come in from the Netherlands. I absolutely love it. Even without kids or pets it’s great for doing larger shopping runs. Not having to default to car rentals or Ubers for moving big stuff is freeing. I’ve taken it on 50+ mile trips for camping, taken it 30 miles out to the suburbs to visit family, it’s all just so effortless and happy.
I might end up adding a motor to my commuter, I just find the custom e-bike world way too oriented towards hotrodding and going as fast as possible.
Its brilliant business move on paper. Onewheel did the same moving away from standard gokart tires in GT. You become single source for consumables, perpetual $$$.
