sbbohr-
You got an account? If so jump fast, get your pre order in. Thinking of stocking a few as they will sell this year.
E cargo being expensive? See my earlier post about type approval, you can't just shove a motor on any bike and start selling it commercially, it strays into vehicle approval territory, super low volume of sales and lots of variation per model = higher than you'd expect pricing.

Surly/Kona/Xtracycle (or whatever the original USA branded long tail was called)/yuba (newer one, older ones are like a wet noodle) and then add a bafang mid drive kit?
Also look up Benno, e boost is probably closest to a GSD, maybe half a notch higher quality?
Bosch performance cargo mid drive, can take 2 batteries if you really want, front rack is decent, rear rack is lengthy, can take 2 Thule Yupp.
Start from £4.5k (same as last years gsd pricing) but then you need to add all the racks you want, they come bare. So budget approx £5-5.5k for all the racks and mounts/seats etc. PM for details if you want, got to jump on one very quickly to stand a a chance of April delivery.
