It looks like these bikes are 100% human powered. That's the part I'm worried about.
I'm starting to get kind of old but I know how to ride a bike and I'm in pretty decent shape. In nice weather I ride for several miles at a time with my kids. I could move a heavily loaded bike for short distances but if I'm doing regular transportation with that for hours at a time I can forget about my knees.
I'm fat and out of shape. I know I wouldn't be able to move that bike without some sort of motor assistance. You can 100% get a battery-powered engine to help, though.
I've never tried a battery assisted bike but I imagine that would make a huge difference.
The usual distances for these kinds of bikes are a couple of km max, once or twice a week. Big shopping trip if you're living on the outskirts kind of deal, or smaller shopping trip and the kid rides in the cargo bucket. If you're up for it sure you can also tour them, tent and sleeping bags don't tend to weigh much and there's ample of space.
Bikes for parcel deliveries etc. tend to be quads or trailer-trikes, also, electric. Noone is running a landscaping business with one of those bikes that still is, and probably always will be, a VW transporter with flatbed kind of deal.
That makes a lot more sense. A bunch of groceries or other bulky but not that heavy stuff seems ideal. I could occasionally do some short trips with a bunch of soil as long as my regular trips had much lower weights.
