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...
Yeah, that's a fair point. Though cargo bikes still have enough of a WTF factor for drivers that they mostly give you a wide berth, at least round these parts...
