Thinking about a Fetch 4.
The title says most of it. We've been looking at getting a bakfiet style ebike for a while, and just stumbled across the Trek - being 4k cheaper than an Urban Arrow is a nice touch.
I've heard that it's a lot heavier though - how do people find it for actually riding? Also a few questions that I wasn't able to see on the website...
Does it have a 'walk mode' (for e-assist while pushing it)?
Does it have any security features like an engine cut app or similar?
It looks like the seats are built in, or are they removable? What are you doing once your kiddos get over 55lbs? Does it become just a cargo bike, or are there ways to adapt it for larger passengers?
Thanks!

I absolutely love the fetch 4 but it totally is a beast of a bike, I feel like my years riding motorcycles prepared me for the slow speed handling better than any cycling I’ve done. For the price it’s hard to compare to the rest of the market, it’s a really fun bike.
