I’ve been wanting a Big Dummy for a while now. I feel like I could do some more hauling around town. Maybe take the dogs with me sometimes. There’s a music festival about 50 miles away I go to once or twice a year. I tend to pack heavy for that, and I could see using a cargo bike. That would be okay because it’s 4 days camping and 2 riding. I’d put up with the extra weight for that. For an extended trip, I’d rather travel light. Now you pair the cargo bike with an electric motor and some solar panels, and the hills and the weight would be less of an issue. But a good chunk of cargo capacity would be dedicated to maintaining the system.
