We're researching electric #cargoBikes for nursery and grocery trips. Can you help?

The bike should:
• manage semi-hilly area near #Sheffield.
• be good for novice riders, ideally with easy adjustments between riders.
• be compatible with a toddler and a medium-sized grocery shop.
• store small or outside well (no garage).
• be compatible with UK purchasing, weather, and infrastructure.

We're currently considering the Tern HSD P5i, but very happy to hear any recommendations or advice. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒🚲🔌

@chicgeek I’ve not tried any of them, but if I was in the market, the rear-loading Tern would be top of my list to try.

GCN have lots of videos reviewing them. The rear-loading ones look more nimble and easier to ride.

@chicgeek Also, the rear-loading Terns have a neat party trick in that you can stand them on their ends, saving a bit of space.

Definitely go and try one if you can, and check this will work with a child seating.

@katiefenn Yes! We tried out an HSD P5i in Heeley on the weekend. Thank you, friend.
