what's you tube, I got so many vids from tpb that i don't know...
however, you can watch you tube vids through bing, which I think is like a proxy? so maybe it has a different recommendation algo

Open Source i different for different people.
At first it came out of universities and academics releasing software to create the first and current ecosystems. These people were paid.
There are also people that work on open source in their spare time - they get paid to work, and release things because they can.
There are people trying to prove their skills to get employed later.
There are big companies sponsoring choice requirements for their own benefit.
There are dirt-poor people with some mad skill-sets who should probably balls-up and ask for some money.
Whoever you are, it is best to explain up-front what you offer and what you need.
Re:We are living in a golden age of electric cargo bikes

As a car replacement Urban Arrow could work it is availoable and I have seen it. cargocycles.com.au lists most commonly available e-cargo bikes. I now remember that volitionebike.com is the closest thing to an AU company doing e-bikes but they are not rally cargo carriers any more than a standard bike. One could also if lucky find a Surly Trucker or a Kona Ute - but these always sell out and would have to be ordered in for next year.
For me, the Urban Arrow is a beast, about $10k and around 50kg. I'd go for something like the Yuba Spicy Curry long tail rather than a bakfiet such as the Arrow. With the long tial you can hop up on curbs and be nimble. Unlike Amsterdam, Aussie cities are not made for bikes. You would pretty much have to run the Arrow on the roads against cars, which when limited to our 250w/25kmh limits on e-bikes might not be so fun.

There are no local, let a lone high quality builders in Australia. The best you can do if price is no issue is an overpriced Yuba, or a severley overpriced Turn.
For a slightly better deal, maybe get an electric conversion.. but what to put it on? Maybe a Yuba Combi? I'm hoping Radwagon comes to AU soon.
If you are in a place with lots of cargo frames, you could bring it with you. Batteries, wheels and components we have.

This is rediculous.
J&J knowingly sold talcum powder laced with asbestos.
They have known about it for over 50 years.
This company is basically evil and as they cannot fight the facts they use trickery to absolve liability.
