30 miles range, functional design while not looking foolish, from a reputable company, all for less than $3,000? Not bad.

More than the average person drives each day, and costs less than the average person spends in a single year on a car. I could see cargo bikes like this replacing vehicles for many people.

Europeans might know the Swiss company Flyer, which is not the same as this Radio Flyer. There's a law suit about this.

I have the flyer folding cargo and absolutely love it. It's such a good set of features for a cargo bike at that price point.

The only complaint I have is the paint, which for some reason is super brittle and chips easily. I wish they would just use regular bike paint. But I put up with having to patch it regularly because the rest of the bike is such good quality otherwise and, c'mon, it cost $1800!
