Tern's latest cargo ebike has a premium heart but entry level pricing

Saving you a click: US$3,799
Not saying it's overpriced, Terns seem great, but when you can get a Lectric cargo for like $1800, I don't see how this is entry-level.
- Yeah, Tern has way cheaper cargo bikes too, like close to half as much.
Those back seats with railings feel like a broken leg waiting to happen if the bike tips over. Long johns seem so much safer for kids. Bikes shouldn't restrict leg movement. Even standard child seats have better fall protection since they have those high backs.
- I really don't understand why bakfiets aren't more popular here in the US, or at least why they aren't at least starting to become more available. I've got a Lectric longtail now, but if somebody came out with an affordable bakfiets I'd upgrade in a heartbeat.
