i got rid of my car right before lock down, and i have use a cargo ebike for about 1 year. i'm shocked at how much in the way of groceries i can carry. the 3 months of 100+ temps did make me regret not having AC, but don't miss the monthly fees related to the car. i was getting killed by the delivery fees that made me pull the trigger on the ebike. i could have a 2nd ebike for the delivery fees

Which cargo did you go with? They’re interesting but spend.
radwagon 4. i added a few of the accessories, then added a few milk crates. i bought one of those reusable freezable igloo blocks, and place that in a light weight cooler. i carry home ice cream and milk and other cold stuff. it serves my needs, and that's about as much as i could ask

You can get a fairly hefty cargo bike for not so much. An Xtracycle Swoop will carry 200kg and it costs $2k.
Personally, I find that two Banjo Brothers grocery sacks on a normal bike is all I’m willing to carry.
