    8 inch rear, and 20 inch front wheels - it’ll be a slow and bumpy ride, when they finally work out all the bumps in development. https://civilizedcycles.com/pages/commercial

    Civilized Cycles has a starting price of $4999 for the CC Model 1, 60 mile range, released in 2020.

    In the mean time , the cool thing is that truck bikes already exist, e.g. the oldest US bike manufacturer, Worksman Cycles, and they’ve worked out the electrification part, too.

    I’m currently working on rebuilding a Worksman Front Loader, which has a 500lb load limit, and 3 speed sturmey-archer hub.
