I can do it but it's the time. Two young kids makes it hard to get any time at all to do anything recreational
I don’t know what you’re talking about, lol. Once I’d bought the hub, it only took me a convoluted period of 8 months to find an evening to lace the wheel, another to true it, a couple of hours one sunny lockdown afternoon to put a tyre on with my little helper and then another evening to sort out the bike after everything had seized up while waiting!

That's not a long post at all - that's very helpful, thank you very much. I guess I am just used to having a geared hub on a cargo bike and been lazy with the shifting down before coming to a stop but I can definitely adapt to that with a cassette, rather than using a coaster brake.
I can do it but it's the time. Two young kids makes it hard to get any time at all to do anything recreational, and much as I enjoy the satisfaction of putting something together, if I had that free time to me I would happily just farm the work out to a shop or buy an OTP solution.
I'll probably get in touch with SBC cycles as I have heard several of you recommend them.
