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

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

Except any bike that has a rear rack on it ๐ค
GTFO! That's insane! It doesn't even look like it has much carrying capacity either! And it weighs 30lbs?? WTF?
I'd take a Burley Travoy over this any day! (I have a Burley Travoy, and it's probably the best on-bike/off-bike accessory I own).
Last time I checked, cargo eBikes are 3500โฌ and up, so in that context it isn't that outlandish. Is still not something I'd get over an actual cargo eBike.
Maybe it's for people with higher end bikes, or those that don't have the room for multiple bikes?
For the capacity that thing appears to handle,a $200 bike trailer or a rack and two rear panniers would be a way better option for most people, I'd guess.
Some trailers can attach to the seatpost, so they could be used on most bikes without needing to mess with the axle or quick release.
But even something like a Tern Quick Haul would be a more affordable option, and that's a high quality, compact e-cargo bike with some history to back it up.
For 2500 you can get a solid cargo e-bike where Iโm from.
I'd love to have a Travoy, those things look awesome!
I'm surprised that there's no competition to it.
That price point is insane
