That looks fantastic, but oof at the price.

Edit after some thought: Mind you, a reasonably specced out regular bike can easily be that much or more. I bought a Bacchetta Giro in 2006 for around $3000, so maybe it's not so unreasonable. I was just thinking that I bought a used car for less than that in '23.

My BIL just spend twice on a threewheeled cargobike than what I’ve ever spend on a car. With only that info it sounds insane, but after I tried it I can understand why. The quality is absolutely fantastic, doesn’t wobble at all and it even has Ackerman steering so that it doesn’t scrub when turning sharp. Plus they live in a big city where it sucks to drive.
