Tern GSD or Yuba Spicy Curry
Cargo bikers,
I am sold on getting a cargo bike, and have decided that for the local terrain, I want electric assist. I think I have narrowed my search down to the two models mentioned in the title, but if you have a different suggestions I will be happy to hear it. The bike will be used to transport my 3 year old along with some groceries, library books, etc.
The bike will be used about 80% of the time by my wife, who is 5’1”. I am an 6’ and will use it the rest of the time. We have both ridden both bikes and like them both, so it is really a matter of choosing between two good choices.
My current thinking is:
Tern
Pro: more adjustable
Pro: wife may fit slightly better, though she like also says she feels comfortable on the spicy curry and she has plenty of experience with bikes
Pro: Salesman said it would be easier for my wife to handle heavier loads on the tern.
Con: slightly smaller cargo deck.
Yuba:
Pro: Slightly larger cargo deck
Pro: CX motor
Con: less adjustable fit.
Can you add any insight? Why might a smaller rider be more comfortable handling a heavier load on the tern than the Yuba? What are your recommendations?
