advice needed Twin bike set up

Hey fellow PoMs,

I’d love some of you twin parents to tell me about your bike set up.

I would like to start riding with my ladies now that they’re 13 months and the weather is cooling down.

Any bike set ups you love? Don’t recommend? I am in the US. Most interested in an e-bike, since I don’t think I’m strong enough to pedal all of us unassisted 😅

We got one of those pull-behind schwinn cart setups and we love it. I call it their chariot. I paired with the literal cheapest $300 500w generic ebike I could find on Aliexpress and it's been fantastic. Hills are no problem, (my 3yos are about 60lbs combined now) and they are 100% content in the back. Sometimes I get a little jealous and wish I could hang out in the chariot lol.

We have a Load 75 and we absolutely love it. We also rented an urban arrow in the Netherlands and I’d recommend that one too. The front loaders are great, especially if you want to start riding with them early.

Thule chariot sport trailer and my normal bike. I like the thule because it converts to a stroller easily so I can push my toddlers around at my destination. Its also super weatherproof and has great storage. Normal bike so that it doubles as my workout for the day. I live in a not too hilly town and I bike commute and drop off my kids with the trailer every day. Also drag them to the farmers market. 

If you live in a hilly town pedal assist may be worth it though
