A good electric cargo bike can easily cost over $2,000 and as much as $8,500 .

Australian company Wombi leases three different Tern electric cargo bikes for $135 to $175 per month.

The company may expand its U.S. footprint in 2025 .

The Tern uses a mid-mounted Bosch drive, which only assists you when you're pedaling.

The five assist levels range from minimal to what the Wombi people call “turbo all the time, baby” The frame is smooth and solid, and it only started to flex under load.

The lease-(or subscribe)-to-own model is intriguing.

The $ 135 -per-month Quick Haul has a retail price of $ 2,900 .

After a year you'll have paid $ 1,620 for the subscription and have the option to buy for a little over $3,200 .

At 6 feet , I was a little too tall for the bike.
