I had a Bionx electric wheel that I fitted to our Bullitt cargo Bike when I used to use it for the school run when we lived in the city. We had to opt for the high torque version to be able to get the weight uphill. Still all the same regs with max speed and max 250w etc but was tuned for torque so the motor wouldn't burn out pushing 75kg extra load. Fairly old tech now but it was great. Got me, two toddlers and a weekly shop up some hills feeling like I was just riding a normal bike. Still hard work, but made it possible. A great tool to have in the city too to be able to use all the quiet cut throughs, cycle paths and park up right out side shops and be able to cart big loads home. I used to wheel it right into the kitchen with the weekly shop too and unload straight from the cargo box into the cupboards and fridge.
