ah I’m very sorry to hear that about your granny. I agree and don’t think that e bikes are a cure-all.
Your cargo bike is very light, the one I am using is approx 60kg unladen. And 200kg+ when fully loaded (not including me)
starting from stand still is when the weight and resistance is felt the most (aside from going up hills). Once past the assisted speed of 16mph I can push it to 20mph+, it’s not that hard. But without the motor helping me up to 16mph i feel exhausted v quickly. It’s like a barrier that is very hard to push up to without the e assist. Maybe I have grown to be too reliant on it 😅
