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.

Cargo ebikes can be very handy when you need to haul stuff, but they're kinda big and clumsy when you don't. The Convoy C.01 was created with that fact in mind, as it temporarily converts regular bikes into e-cargoes within a matter of seconds.

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.
