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.

Somewhere pretty hilly. The bike is electric so helps with the hills a lot. I'm not light and even with cargo it can maintain 15kmh up 20% hills with me pedaling. It does hit the battery: I get about 30km on a full charge if I'm using max assist on hilly terrain. Can get a lot more if I use eco mode on flatter ground
Ah, I didn't realize that it was electric. I'm used to the more "traditional" cargo bikes that have 1HP (human power).
I have a rear hub ebike and live in a hilly area: The motor makes a massive difference! Mid drives make for an even bigger difference from what I've heard, but I haven't been able to afford one yet.
