After a severe muscle injury carrying thanksgiving groceries home (no joke) I bought a grandma cart and never looked back. 20kg capacity and I get nodding looks from the other grandmas on the bus.
Heh 25y ago as a mechanical engineering undergrad I’d have been interested in actually designing something like this as a design project. Probably 2x the capacity of a regular shopping cart, bigger wheels, small motor for up to 5% grades, capable of carrying smaller furniturehttps://twitter.com/vgr/status/1130205786968170496 …

Those are pretty flimsy and low capacity though

There's a burgeoning 'cargobike' initiative forming in Vermont http://www.vbikesolutions.org/cargobikes-101.html … With a rolling wave of electric bike rebates over the past few years. https://www.burlingtonelectric.com/ebike https://vtdigger.org/2019/05/15/groundbreaking-electric-bike-rebates-green-mountain-power/ … This is a 'street worthy shopping cart' if you squint a bit.

Not able to rent them yet, but I'm hoping that http://greenridebikeshare.com/ works out and we start seeing trailers with this.
