    I have started reading this thread from the beginning, but I have a big issue. I would love a proper bakfiets style cargo bike. Basic is best.

    Uses are:
    Getting materials for the bags
    Getting pallet wood/bricks/materials for the garden
    Possibly/probably riding to local craft/street markets to sell my wares (the bags)
    Possibly/maybe giving the petite gf a lift on occasion

    Mum got this last year. She tried it once or twice and can’t ride it. Languishing under cover ever since, I have the option to sell it or use it. New lead acid cells will cost me £75-120 total, otherwise it’s working. No gears since it’s made for the throttle electric drive.

    Maybe it’s the seat, the bars, the basket...maybe just because it’s a trike... but I’m really struggling to actually ride the thing. I feel embarrassed!

    Has anyone gladly used a trike for cargo?
