More Electric Cargo Bike Buzz in Forbes? (Plus Big Rad news)

As the official news gatherer for this here blog, I find myself perusing a lot of info about cargo bikes, with and without electric assist. Most of it, though, comes from bicycle news sources and local human-interest pieces about small bike-based businesses or suburban families who loved them so much that they sold one or both of their cars.

 

Lately, I've been running across more main-stream media about bikes that haul (stuff and people). And the gist keeps leaning to a few common notes - save money, get healthier, rescue the planet, and find more joy in life.

 

In case you find yourself cargo-curious, here's a new article that came out in Forbes about a guy who gave up his $70,000 Mercedes for a $4,000 electric cargo bike. You know me, I had to share the cargo-bike propaganda:

Meet the Tern GSD

 



The other big piece of cargo bike news today came in an email from Rad Power Bikes - the purveyor of my most jonesed-for cargo bike, the RadWagon.

They have dropped back to their pre-tariff pricing! Woohoo! This is great news for those of you who truly are cargo curious - you can get yourself a well-equipped and reputable cargo bike (with free shipping) for $1599. That's a little less money-painful than the $4000 Tern (which is still a very sweet and practical machine).

And don't even get me started on the $1299.00 closeout special!

 

Yep, you know me - always pushing that cargo-bike propaganda. May you save money, get healthier, rescue the planet, and find more joy in life with all of your choices!
