I've had to fight 15-25 mph headwinds on my commute to my summer camp. Cargo is important. The decent groceries especially specialties for diabetics are in town. So are the mower parts. The ozone free air, the wildlife, the peace & quiet are 28 miles out in the country. It was bad enough in September with panniers behind my legs, 5.7 hours at 5.5 mph. This thing would drag you down to 4 mph, making the trip 6.5 hours. A battery & motor will cover some of the air drag, but see how your range deteriorates with this truck blocking the wind. Lets see, where does wind not blow? WVa valleys? France interior? Wind definitely is getting worse around here. And dragging this weight up & down hills, a definite non-starter. You'd get up to 40 mph downhill, if it was stable at that speed. I get 30 on the rig shown left.
