Our household finally has a working electric vehicle!

Picked up this Benno 46er e-Cargo bike today and brought it home from Melbourne on the train. (It just fits in the V-line bike area!)

Manufacturer calls this an "etility" bike, normal-ish bike size with bigger carrying capacity. We're intending for it to replace much of our small town car use.

(I often don't ride because either I need to move something biggish/heavy-ish, or because I don't want to arrive somewhere sweaty. This should help with both.)

The same e-bike squished into the "heavy luggage / bike" area on a v-line train

Two months into e-bike ownership, and have joined the annoying club of "I didn't think this thing would change my habits as much as it did". 😆

One frustration, it came due for first (free) service and I learned only a bike shop with the approved software tools can reset the service indicator. 😡

Hat tip to @joe for the idea to ride it to Southern Cross Station and bring it home by train, my ute-owning brain had gone straight to "have to drive in and pick it up", but of course it came charged up and ready to ride!
