    So, where I live I’m too scared it would grow legs when I’m in store shopping. What do you use for a lock/security? Or are you in one of those places people act right?

    And I can Lug those things with a normal, muscle powered, bike with a 100$ trailer. And the best part is, I can use that bike to go anywhere without a trailer, and it’s not big and unwieldy.

      I don’t know about that, carrying heavier things in a trailer can be pretty precarious and having electric assist when you’re carrying a lot is pretty great. Grocery shopping on my ebike is definitely easier and way faster than it is on my mountain bike.

      Somewhere pretty hilly. The bike is electric so helps with the hills a lot. I’m not light and even with cargo it can maintain 15kmh up 20% hills with me pedaling. It does hit the battery: I get about 30km on a full charge if I’m using max assist on hilly terrain. Can get a lot more if I use eco mode on flatter ground

          I have a rear hub ebike and live in a hilly area: The motor makes a massive difference! Mid drives make for an even bigger difference from what I’ve heard, but I haven’t been able to afford one yet.
