The best type of e-bike for replacing car trips is the cargo bike. Sturdy, capable, and often able to haul lots of cargo or even multiple humans, electric cargo bikes are rewiring cities to adapt their infrastructure for more human-centric transportation. Parents are using them to take their kids to school, businesses are using them for last-mile delivery, seniors are using them to improve their mobility, and cities are using them to replace traditional car- and truck-based services, like snow plows and garbage pickup

Me and my partner just acquired two commuter style bikes and we've been having a blast realizing how much shit we can actually bike to rather than drive. We've been getting our groceries exclusively by bike the past three weekends and it's seriously opened my eyes to how wonderful and feasible biking can be. I finally understand why bike people are so passionate about these issues.

I feel like I've finally emerged from a carbrained fog that has plagued me for decades now.
