  • We’re selling our kid carrying Butchers and Bicycles at the moment. The kids are a bit bigger and I’m 195cm, so although we’d like a long tail the Tern seatpost angle takes up too much space at the rear being so high.

    Any suggestions for alternative cargo bikes I haven’t thought of with a Bosch/Shimano motor? I saw the Surly Big Easy but it isn’t available over here. The Bike Friday above also looks great, but I’d love something Bosch/Shimano.

  • I have one of these: https://bike43.com/ And have been super happy (I have an older model with a hub motor even and it still has been great) (they offer bosch and shimano options) Im not much shorter than you and i find the spacing for the 3rd kid at the front of the rack makes it look a bit more spacious parked next to terns. Also having the larger front tire makes it feel a bit better running up and down curbs and what not

  • Did you look at R&M multitinker?
    Edit: sorry just saw you wanted shimano, that’s not

  • We are selling quite a few Veloe Multi bikes at the moment. I really like that they have a larger wheel size than the Terns, are a bit cheaper and just seem all round smooth. Bosch and Shimano options available.

  • Yuba spicy curry. Ours has been flawless.

  • Long tail? Benno Boost, has normal seatpost angle (so not as good for shorter persons) but has larger rear area for kiddo's. Better quality seat pads too.
