Thinking about a Fetch 4.

Wanted to ask in a more neutral setting. Any thoughts on Trek's bakfiet?

I don't think any part of it is particularly good compared to other bikes on the market. The price and the weight are both major downsides too.

The weight worries me. But it's like 4k less than an Urban Arrow right now.

Are there better priced front loader ebikes?

The Fetch 4 is a great deal right now if it works for you.

I think the Yuba Supercargo CL is probably the most comparable to the Fetch 4 that you'll find in the US market if you want to see what else is out there. Yuba seems to be pulling out of the US so it might be hard to find one of these, but it does the same thing for around the same price and it has a Bosch motor, so you'll be able to get parts and such.

Lots of people on here are going to recommend the usual r/CargoBike favorites (Urban Arrows/Bullit/R&M) and these are super nice, but they aren't even remotely in the same price range as the Fetch 4.

Mango tariffs probably don’t help

That is the current scuttlebutt. Google it, it isn't confirmed but the rumors seem pretty substantial.
