As long as they follow bike lane etiquette of the larger thing yielding to the smaller thing, I'd rather have these than full vans/trucks that park in the bike lanes anyway. At least locally there aren't many corporate biking incentives so there isn't much induced demand for biking infrastructure from businesses. Most small businesses hate it for taking up street parking. A lot of last-mile delivery with urban vans/trucks is a real cracking a walnut with a sledgehammer scenario, but they're paying road taxes on those vehicles that they disproportionately destroy the roads with so we get roads. With this we get street conversions as pedestrianised cargo bike corridors.
edit: It sucks this particular model costs like $10-15k though. A slightly smaller one at $5k would meet all of my urban driving needs and make a great microcamper.
