(Although in all honesty, wouldn't that go under "Commuter", unless the idea is to boost/highlight Cargo Bikes as a THING?)
Edit - answering my own question, possibly not. Difference between cargo bike for families ( Family & Kids group) and Cargo Bike for Cargo such as a Business thing.

They're big in my city. Literally and figuratively. And ******* expensive.
Yeah but a forum for them, how many posts will it get? I reckon you should REALLY go for the niche market, maybe a unicycle cargo forum for gay black disabled Marxist dwarfs?
I should add not only do we have none where I live, I must confess at first I wasn't sure what was being referred to and had to google to find out. #livingashelteredlife

An excellent example of why supporting such a niche market and raising awareness of it, especially in light of the climate crisis and the ULEZ is beneficial.
I'd love bike radar to have an article on Cargobikes - and will even lend mine for them to test

agree completely - the more the merrier and as its a growing area of cycling we can't see why not.
Yep - esp with the electric versions getting a little more affortable.

That's very affordable to some on here. You could probably save that on tax with the help of one poster on here.
I did only say " A little more affordable" . Still, when compared to the price of a car, let alone an electric car over a year, it almost certainly pays for itself.
Especially if you're lucky enough to be working somewhere where you can buy them pre-tax under a Cycle to Work scheme or similar...

I think cargo bikes are useful. My Nihola has PowerTap pedals with flywheel’s clip adaptors — that way I can monitor my power output to ensure I’m not relying too much on the electric assistance!
Its a growing community, word of mouth advice and peer to peer recommendations are really useful for anyone looking to get a Cargo bike, or who needs help running one.

Even the small bridge over the local river has me searching behind the sofa for the extra £1000 to make it pedelec.

I know Scotland's Energy Trust does such grants[1] - Shirley's in NZ I believe, not sure what the grant systems are like over there.
[1] it's actually a loan : https://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/sc ... ebike-loan

The grants are for businesses who want to buy one. My wife works for a small business up here so I think she may ask the owner to buy one.
