“Electric bikes are more than 10x more efficient than electric passenger cars, meaning the same amount of battery needed for a 20-mile commute in an electric car could power an e-bike for over 200 miles”
You can do both with ease if you’re up for it. Not every bicycle looks like what you think a bicycle looks like - the US is very fond of sports-focused bikes that aren’t capable of much utility.
To do more with a bike than just leisure/sports, you’d want to consider either something practical with a rear rack, a cargo bike, or an equad van
i might be up for it, but my 2-year old child probably wont be, he could catch a cold instantly. Afterall if i were married, the decision wont be up to me, a wife wont tolerate taking babies to kindergarden with a bicycle and risk being rammed with a f-150, especially in the us, of all places. a car sometimes acts like a big metal box just to absorb shocks when an accident happen. but micromobility could be justified for other uses, but it shouldnt replace a car, or a bus. anyway, certain exceptions may apply
For up to 3 kids you can use a longtail cargo bike: xtracycle.com/…/eStoker-Matte-Black-1536x1024.jpg - I see those hauling kids all over the Boston metro area since there are decent bike lanes and paths there.
And if you need to haul more kids than that, get ready to have your mind blown: youtu.be/uHsAaZI3hfc
