Totally agree. I'm half shopping for some sort of cargo-ish e-bike myself, but just not finding what I want. Most of them are just too heavy - I have to get it in/out of my basement, so either down a flight of stairs, or rolling it around from the back yard (mid-row townhouse on a hill). If it's not easy to hop on and go, it won't get used for errands.

The Cannondale Compact Neo is close, but I'd prefer mid-drive. The hub drive doesn't allow use of my cargo trailer (for my dog) as it mounts to the axle ends and the hub motor has a cable going in the DS axle end cap.

I should probably just buy a Turbo Vado SL next time they're in sale. That's what my wife has and it's nice. I just kinda want something lower with a bit more cargo focus.
