  • recommend me a e-cargo bike. Currently leaning toward the Nihola Family but happy to take suggestions

    requirements

    1. Needs to fit two kids + some shopping. This will be doing nursery/school/shop runs daily.
    2. Needs to be stable (wife and I will be taking turns riding it)
    3. Waterproofing important
    4. Dynamo lighting - winter is very dark here in Scotland and I CBA with stressing about charging lights every day.

    bonus points if there's a gates drive

    The Nihola seems to be best for carrying kids and stable handling but no dynamo option as far as I can see. What else is there?

  • I'm looking for similar thing atm and I'm almost set on a Yuba spicy curry.

  • Nihola are a very popular option here (Denmark) for families with kids. Other options:
    Christiania (@thuekr bought one of those recently)
    Triobike
    Winther Kangaroo (which is specifically designed for transporting kids, more so than the Nihola)
    Butchers & Bicycles
    Babboe
    etc etc

  • Babboe and Christiana are popular round here in that 3-wheel format. I think the comments about wrestling the bike from stationary with two kids wriggling around are valid. Those 3-wheelers completely eliminate that as a thing.

    Same goes for crossing narrow bridges over the river tributaries. Shat my pants more than once because of that!
