    Somewhere pretty hilly. The bike is electric so helps with the hills a lot. I’m not light and even with cargo it can maintain 15kmh up 20% hills with me pedaling. It does hit the battery: I get about 30km on a full charge if I’m using max assist on hilly terrain. Can get a lot more if I use eco mode on flatter ground

      Ah, I didn’t realize that it was electric. I’m used to the more “traditional” cargo bikes that have 1HP (human power).

        I have a rear hub ebike and live in a hilly area: The motor makes a massive difference! Mid drives make for an even bigger difference from what I’ve heard, but I haven’t been able to afford one yet.
