Wow. Nice.
Congestion charges literally go towards improving transit.
Also government in Canada are already spending record amounts on building transit. If you need to go into a zone that would have a congestion charge in Canada (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver) you would have at least a park and ride option.
Living in Montreal I’ve gotten to the point where I only ride my own bike when I’m transporting paniers of stuff or doing an overnight trip. I installed a double kickstand on my old bike and its worked well until today when my old frame kicked the bucket....
If that works for you great. Those little front wheels and cargo out front is just not the direction Im looking to go, I’m basically wanting a gravel bike with cargo carrying by default.
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?

Longer intervals (up to 24...

Seems especially obvious with the geography and transit funding shortfalls present in both Montreal and Vancouver.

Do you need a dentist visit every 6 months? That filling? The data is weak ( arstechnica.com )
