Saving you a click: US$3,799
Not saying it's overpriced, Terns seem great, but when you can get a Lectric cargo for like $1800, I don't see how this is entry-level.

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.

Yeah, Tern has way cheaper cargo bikes too, like close to half as much.
Those back seats with railings feel like a broken leg waiting to happen if the bike tips over. Long johns seem so much safer for kids. Bikes shouldn't restrict leg movement. Even standard child seats have better fall protection since they have those high backs.
I really don't understand why bakfiets aren't more popular here in the US, or at least why they aren't at least starting to become more available. I've got a Lectric longtail now, but if somebody came out with an affordable bakfiets I'd upgrade in a heartbeat.
