We use our bikes as transportation and for fun. They take us to school, to get groceries, go shopping, get dinner, to the library, etc. We LOVE the stability, size, durability, customer service, accessories. Our other cargo bikes have 750w motors so we do wish we had a little more power when trying to get up steep hills (like out of the Midtown Greenway here in MPLS, which we take almost every day).
