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.

Cargo ebikes can be a great alternative to the family car when hauling groceries or doing the school run. But they can be a bit wobbly at slow speeds. Startup Tarran is aiming for improved stability with auto-deploying landing gear.

Keeping in mind that I currently own a long-tail and have never tried a front-loader, I think I'd like to upgrade to the latter so that my kids could climb into it themselves more easily without me worrying as much about it tipping over. It'd also be nice having them sit in the front so I could talk to them more easily.

(Part of the problem could just be that I need a better kickstand, BTW.)

That's cool, thanks for the perspective.
