It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Forget practicality and cargo bikes, the utilitarian fat tyre commuter ones too. I want to see what this community thinks the ones that look badass are.

I'm a big fan of the cruiser style from Flyer, idk what exactly I like about it, it just looks really classic. https://flyer.radioflyer.com/products/flyer-cruiser-step-thru

I thought this one looked awesome when I saw it, even cooler when I saw the guy picking it up like it was nothing BC its so lightweight https://youtu.be/d9gEaHZUwwI?si=s3cncvpSadJ1AZJT

I don't think any of the cargo bikes posted are cool at all. And while I don't know a lot about E-bikes (I subconsciously think they are kinda cheating) I searched for a little bit for a bike I think looked decent.

This is probably my favourite design after a few minutes of research.

I like the simplicity and the straight edges. I also like the futuristic designs companies usually like put out, even when people love to bash them.

Funny that you mention cargo bikes and fat tires because to me they both look cool af.

Especially this kind of cargo bikes: Creme Happy Wagon e-bike

Do you have a name/manufacturer/price?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This one is Creme Happy Wagon. Actually, I entered the name in the alt text, but I see that Jerboa doesn't display that. It costs 18k PLN (~$4660) in my country.

Reverse e-trike recumbents look badass. Fight me.

They absolutely do. Something about being so low makes it feel faster too.

Marin Sausalito 2 is kinda sexy IMO but I'm a sucker for utilitarian design. I like the look of Tern's cargo bikes too.
