market.

What I'd like to see more of now is smaller guys tapping into the
enthusiast markets where the prices of bikes and parts are
outrageously expensive.

Homegrown goodness at homegrown prices is very appealing.

Yes, indeed. Either you'd have to live in a complex with a fairly safe
shared area, a big elevator, or live on the first floor.

Then you'd still need to eject some furniture to make room for it.

I had it in mind for carrying my kids, who live in Tainan where there
is space to store it.

However, one problem with using it in Taiwan would be finding a place to park it. I also really liked that Nankon cargo bike.
