No cargo bike can support 500lbs dude. A single pro toolbox worth of tools is well like 200lbs. Most people have 3-5 of those boxes.
Yeah, you can move a house via cargo bike, but normal people hire movers. Poor bike weirdos in their 20s do it via bike as a political statement. every bike weirdo I know now hires movers because they got older and have money now. They also own cars and drive them most of the time…
it’s almost as if once they got money to afford a car being a zealout about bike-only lifestyle disappeared from their mind…
Let’s be real here: cars are more convenient for a lot of things, especially when proper bike infrastructure is still lacking. That’s why people tend to move in that direction.
However, keeping at it is not sustainable and makes life worse in the long run. Adopting sustainable strategies comes with some pain points, but it’s simply the only way forward.
Motorcycle, moped, scooter, ebike, escooter, there’s no clear delineation, the point is there’s 2 wheel vehicles that trade workers use every day to transport tools and materials. When there’s too much, they typically hire a kei truck, but I see 20 bikes with tools or bags of concrete or whatever for every truck.

Ok, slap a motor in that thing. I see washing machines+dryer pretty frequently.
this is a motorcycle with extra steps or a motorized bicycle
