Motor/eAssist is essential with two kids IMO.
Good to know.
My daughter lover being in a front seat then when she got bigger and moved to the back she's hated it.

I got on fine without e-assist and two kids; the Nexus 8 on my bakfiets allowed me to twiddle up most things and crack along on the flat at evens if I had to. OTOH, it's a limousine not a sports car, and happiest cruising along at an average pace. Did keep me fit, mind - the best cycling form I was ever in was when I was doing 75 bakfiets miles a week...

buying a cargo bike for kids is such a weird experience, its the most money you will spend on a bike (arguably) yet a test ride doesent really hold any value unless you can rent one for a week or so and see how the kids react.
There are some shops who do long term rentals/longer test rides worth looking at IMO. My kid started being in cargo (in a car seat) at 4 months old and 4 months since then she LOVES it.
