An Aventon Abound LR. With three shopping bags inside the storage boxes for about 30kg of weight, but it was still nimble enough to do mixed-terrain riding on the way home. Since last April it has travelled 3200km without issue. Donkebike is the closest I'll get to having a pack mule.

Look at the donk on that bike panting

Dig all the extra reflective bits and the ears and tail. Bikes lend themselves to more personalization, and you're doing it up nicely.

What's the usual maintenance look like? 3200km is quite a mileage for a bicycle

It hasn't needed anything special yet, though I'm taking it in soon for an annual tune-up just to make sure. Every week or so I clean and lubricate the chain, readjust the brakes (the rear pad needs changed), check the wiring/battery frame/battery for water damage, and tighten all the bolts/electrical connections.
