This is awesome and confirms what I've been hoping, although it looks like the big dummy is being discontinued so I'll probably have to move quick if I want one new. I have a couple of questions that it seems you'd have the answers to:
Q) I think I know the answer from reading your blog, but if you didn't own any cargo bike already, would you buy a Big Dummy or would you just put that money towards a Big Easy?
Q) Is it possible to just ride around with the battery removed or flat? Is it pretty much the same bike plus the weight of the motor?
Q) I already own nice (standard) paniers, can those be clipped onto the side of these cargo bikes, or do they have a different sort of rack.
Q) Thoughts on riding an electric cargo bike in the snow/slush?
