Why your next car should be an electric cargo bike

From The Verge.

The best type of e-bike for replacing car trips is the cargo bike. Sturdy, capable, and often able to haul lots of cargo or even multiple humans, electric cargo bikes are rewiring cities to adapt their infrastructure for more human-centric transportation. Parents are using them to take their kids to school, businesses are using them for last-mile delivery, seniors are using them to improve their mobility, and cities are using them to replace traditional car- and truck-based services, like snow plows and garbage pickup. #Transporation #Technology #Bikes
