Why cargo bikes cost so much in the West?
(hexbear.net)
The cycle rickshaw, which is a variant of a cargo bike is quite common in Asia. The price for a new one ranges from $100-500. Meanwhile, a bike with elongated rear rack, e.g., a longtail cargo bike (barely counts as cargo bike) can cost $1,000 in the West, and that is the entry level "cargo bike." A front load cargo bike costs $2500 and upwards. An Urban Arrow (tm) cargo bike can cost a whopping $6-7k.
Never heard of them, but glad it exists. They're competing against Dutch wages and imports so they should be able to do pretty well. Doesn't look as comfortable as my Urban Arrow, and more of a general cargo bike than the family specific one from UA.
