I saw this bike made by an independent bike shop for himself.

It’s an electric longtail and can carry a 300kg europallet, plus the toolbox on the front, plus an extra person or material on the bike rack!

Here is the link to the shop website: https://www.cycles-penet.fr/

    Ehhhh starting from stopped is hellish when you have a heavy load behind you, and maintaining momentum on the flat definitely takes a lot more. I recently got a trailer to transport my kids and where I might be able to go 20 miles on just my bike, I struggle to make it more than 3 miles with the extra 2 wheels and 80 lbs of kids behind me. Granted I live in a hilly area, but I can definitely tell that it isn’t just the challenge of hills given how much slower I go on flatish sections and downhill

      Really? Because I am basing this on my own kid transport setup I had when I was 20 babysitting my niece and nephew and I found it to be pretty easy to get them around with.

        Makes me wonder if a better trailer would be noticeably better then. I’m just using a budget trailer that I picked up at a garage sale. Some grease on the moving bits and pumping more air in the tires certainly helped (the tires lose air pretty rapidly too) Hard to beat $20 for a bike trailer though!
