Belgium's Bike43 has revealed a nifty cargo ebike that can grow as your family or hauling needs change. Riders can start off with a Short model, and then step up to a Mid flavor courtesy of an easy mod, and back again as needed.

Neat concept. Kind of unrelated, but do any of these cargo ebikes support having any number of adult passengers? It seems like once your kids get past a certain age you either can't take the bike anymore or you have to get them their own.

Adults tend to be quite a big piece of cargo, so very few fit two properly and you do kinda always look like you are sitting in a seat for a kid or you are getting a ride in a wheelbarrow.

But technically, yes.

I know mid/long tail can usually support an adult at the back. Dutch bike/japanese style bike made from steel also been used to carry adult since forever ago

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.
