My dad used to carry my older sister and I on a regular 3-speed dutch men's bike, with a yepp mini-style seat the front for my sister and a regular child seat at the back.. carried backpacks for all of us as well. Unless she actually wants a cargo bike, there are other alternative solutions.

Basically something like this:

Bicicapace Just long looks great for two kids
https://www.londongreencycles.co.uk/shop/bikes/type/bicicapace-justlong-2/
With nexus 8 and no e-assist it's only £1,390
£3k for shimano steps e-assist
They now come with disc brakes rather than the crap roller brakes they were using before.

Have you seen the Benno bikes range?
It might be totally off the mark but they do a bike called the EJoy which is a traditional looking ladies step thru bike but with cargo capabilities. Only available as an electric bike though

My sister is looking to retire her Pashley which has been fine for cycling about leicester/toting kid number 1 around, but has also proved quite heavy, annoying on hills, etc. It got her into cycling and she loves it a lot but she thinks she needs something else.
Kid no2 is en route so she won't be riding for a while, but I'm already expected to be able to consult on what should replace the pashley. I've no idea. I suspect 6 grand front loaded e cargo will be quite a tough sell over the already extant 03 plate toyota yaris and I don't quite understand how they would store such a thing (I guess lean to in the front garden + ground anchor?)
Are more traditional style town bikes (with or without motor assist) "not worth it" or... I don't know. How do people work out what e-bike they should get? I feel like there's a bunch of questions that need to be answered but I don't even know what they are. Has anyone made a flow chart?
