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.
I gave them a deeper look and it's really competitive with Urban Arrow, imo. The motor and brake setup is equivalent to the 8k Urban Arrow. the UA comes with two built in seats to Yuba's 0, but its only another $350 to get 3 seats where UA needs another $250 to get to 3. And it has a built-in long tail rear rack. It's also more suitable for actual cargo. I'd probably recommend this first over the UA to people with all that in mind.
