Which budget long-tail cargo e-bike to buy?

As noted in my last article, electrification has helped make it much easier to ride cargo bikes, so they become car replacement vehicles for ordinary people who don’t have the leg power to push a heavy bike. However, just as important as adding an electric motor has been the advent of long-tailed cargo bikes, which have longer racks in the back for carrying kids, groceries, work tools, etc. The long-tail helped popularize cargo bikes and make them accessible to the general public.

The Long John or bakfeits style bike with a flat rack or box in the front of the rider is arguably the best type of cargo bike for carrying heavy weight, but those types of bikes are very expensive and they don’t have the maneuverability and balance of a normal bike, plus they are much longer than a normal bike. For people who want a cargo bike that handles like a normal bike and they don’t want to pay too much for the ability to carry around extra weight, the long-tail cargo bike is the best option.
