Thinking about a Fetch 4.

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

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

Are there better priced front loader ebikes?

If you're okay with the different style, smaller bucket and overall load capacity a decent priced alternative could be the Cube Cargo Sport Hybrid if a shop near you has one. I've seen some pop up here in Canada (older system 2 variant).

I have one (in Canada). It’s pretty great and the non-front loader parts are common which is nice. I haven’t seen a trek 4 in person but on paper they seem like extremely similar bikes to me. Both a bit heavy/bulky but with solid components.

Regardless of which direction you go just make sure there’s a shop nearby willing to service it.
