    Cars are way more convenient in America. It’s not a good thing, but it’s true. Youre going to have a very hard time convincing people that would be willing to use a cargo bike but who are are on the fence that they should buy a cars worth of cargo bike at the outset.

    Adoption of cargo bikes are much likelier in the $1500 range than the $7000 range. You’re already asking people to step away from their comfort zones and the norm in American society. Asking them to “spend a used car” to do it just makes it way, way less likely.
