    I hate that about the industry. Almost every article and video is astroturfed, while most sales are fake unless a model is being phased out. So far the closest I’ve found to an AK-47 is a Tern cargo bike. The components in those are solid enough to last upwards of a decade. I expect 3-5 years of reliable heavy use from a brand like Aventon or Velotric in the budget tier, but in 3-5 years I expect those brands to have much more capable bikes worth upgrading to while donating my old one. The brand-specific subreddits gave me a good sense of each model’s problems while I cross-referenced videos to judge comparisons between them.
