Cargo e-bikes generally have a battery capacity limit of around 25 miles (which batteries aren’t meant to be fully drained every time they’re used anyway).

Any suggestions that don’t include the use of cars in a carpool or moving?

Is “Fuck Cars” a pro-city/anti-rural philosophy?

    Hi. I live in the Cascade Mountains of WA. Essentially Amazon (Fuck you Jeff) or Walmart or similar delivery is about the only option. Often you can carpool with someone. I plan and buy groceries / supplies once each month. If you are in an area that has no public transportation then hitchhiking is a viable options as it’s not considered weird in those types of communities.
    An e-bike isn’t going to cut it, especially in the winter. The problem is going car-less in a society fundamentally based on owning a car.

      I’ve hitch-hiked myself when I needed to get to a metro area. I am too ashamed to do it in a smaller area, though, where everyone knows me. its a safety issue as it is often those you know a bit who rob you or hurt you. Sometimes e-Bay delivers certain types of food, but I found, at least for my soy shake, that Sam’s Club (BigBiz) was cheaper. A problem I had in rural areas with delivery is that the packages are often left at the farm gate where anyone driving by could look at them (I had nosy neighbors) or steal them. The delivery times were often a day or more off, so leaving the farm gate open was not a safe option for me (I am a single female).
