I live in the Netherlands and we have an Urban Arrow electric cargo bike. We frequently use it to ferry around three kids or heavy objects. It's got a range of about 40km and we have a spare battery so we can double that. We've used to to travel to the coast with the kids carrying everything we need for a couple of days away. I love this thing!

Funny thing is, when I first saw cargo bikes when I moved here I thought they were super goofy, but after trying one I was blown away at how functional they are. I can just imagine people in my hometown being very confused if we ever take it back to the UK.

There are at least 3 cargo bikes doing the school run at my daughters small primary now. Not in London.

You see cargo bikes all the time in London - not sure where your home town is but they are pretty common round my parts.
