As a person who was way ahead of the trend in America, having had a (non-electric) family cargo bike 15 years ago, I have come to agree. When you see any kind of vehicle, whether a pickup truck, SUV, or cargo bike, just try to imagine what will happen if the most clueless person you know buys one. These days in my town the bike parents ride their ebikes right up to every place and leave them there, so a playground or park is totally surrounded by parked bikes now. Say what you will about SUV drivers, but at least they had to leave them parked on the street, instead of parking them on the actual park. It is easy to think it's going to work when only the 1% most socially conscious people are riding them, but you have to create a system that continues to work well even when average clueless American is participating.
