Cargo ebikes can be a great alternative to the family car when hauling groceries or doing the school run. But they can be a bit wobbly at slow speeds. Startup Tarran is aiming for improved stability with auto-deploying landing gear.

We rent bakfiets for our pup from a couple apps that all use 2-wheel models. There are some parts where it’s nice to let the dog out and bike along side her where it would be nice to have more stability at low speeds.

However, we do ultimately plan to get a two-wheeler when the time comes to purchase our own.

Valid point, non leaning trikes are optimal in that scenario. I wish you could rent one.

However, we do ultimately plan to get a two-wheeler when the time comes to purchase our own.

Best choice in my opinion!

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
