Oh for sure, but 2 hub motors, a battery, a BMS, the disc brakes, and the handcart itself are probably going to run almost as much or more than as a full e-bike with a trailer. That does not include the time and knowledge to assemble it. Great tool, and great for some parts of the world. Just not a universal solution

Yeah, I live in Seattle. This would not work here as built. Disc brakes and an electric motor for hills would probably be a minimum requirement. That adds a lot of expense and engineering, and also means an e-bike and trailer are probably cheaper.

81·3 months agoI’m so tired of this refrain. 49% of 64% of US voters voted for him, but even that is an oversimplification. The reality is that in some regions it is hard to vote. Waiting in line for hours. It is not a national holiday, so no pay for taking time off to wait in line. Polls often have limited times, and people in the US work too much just to stay alive. And that does not even take into account electoral college bullshit. The right has done so much to make voting hard or even impossible for some.
The US is vast and diverse, which makes hand waving dismissals like this even more frustrating.
Yeah, there is that. There is also the fact that even going to the source I cannot find the actual study/data. No idea the sample size, method, or even list if questions. Mostly this feels like clickbait from PC Gamer.
