Sold my car 6 months ago and do all grocery shopping with my cargo eBike. Best decision ever! Anyone else living car-free?

That’s a tough choice, both are solid bikes, but for carrying two kids, definitely look at the Tern GSD. The low center of gravity and the option for the Clubhouse setup makes it way more stable and secure, especially when you factor in the growing weight of a 4 and 7-year-old. Plus, the smaller wheels on the Tern handle hills better under a heavy load.
