Cargo ebikes can be a great alternative to the family car when hauling groceries or doing the school run. But they can be a bit wobbly at slow speeds. Startup Tarran is aiming for improved stability with auto-deploying landing gear.

Worry less about “landing gear” and more about making a front-loader that’s (a) affordable and (b) available in the US, please.
What makes a front loader more desirable for you than a long tail cargo bike? Is it the giant bucket esque cargo holding container? I had read reviews that cargo bikes that held the weight behind the rider (like super panniers or cargo racks) were more comfortable to ride. Curious to hear you opinion!
Keeping in mind that I currently own a long-tail and have never tried a front-loader, I think I’d like to upgrade to the latter so that my kids could climb into it themselves more easily without me worrying as much about it tipping over. It’d also be nice having them sit in the front so I could talk to them more easily.
(Part of the problem could just be that I need a better kickstand, BTW.)
That’s cool, thanks for the perspective.
