My sister is looking to retire her Pashley which has been fine for cycling about leicester/toting kid number 1 around, but has also proved quite heavy, annoying on hills, etc. It got her into cycling and she loves it a lot but she thinks she needs something else.
Kid no2 is en route so she won't be riding for a while, but I'm already expected to be able to consult on what should replace the pashley. I've no idea. I suspect 6 grand front loaded e cargo will be quite a tough sell over the already extant 03 plate toyota yaris and I don't quite understand how they would store such a thing (I guess lean to in the front garden + ground anchor?)
Are more traditional style town bikes (with or without motor assist) "not worth it" or... I don't know. How do people work out what e-bike they should get? I feel like there's a bunch of questions that need to be answered but I don't even know what they are. Has anyone made a flow chart?
