Joh that website looks dated!

Seems like the best option.

You want a bakfiets https://www.bakfiets.nl/

But they are €€€€ so I think a local version would do well

Ther is an e-Bakfiets avaliable.... but is that allowed in the maintanance rat-race??

Ice cream bike, cargo bike, maintenance bike, all different names for similar products :whistling:

I know them as cargo bikes because that's what they're called in Europe, in SA they haven't really caught on as a versatile domestic product

I think the Entrepreneurs who should be using an affordable cargo bike for their business, are currently working with a vehicle long term sponsored by PNP/checkers.

I was looking at the electric options, but our budget is very limited. I was hoping to find something under R5k each which most likely means dodgy second hand Makro bike with one decent trailer or maybe a DIY franken-cargo-bike

I’m looking for a cargo e-bike, any ideas if there are regulation issues to import from Europe..?

I think Chilled Squirell ALREADY import them - seen them on their shop floor, maybe give them a call…?
