As someone who returned a Tern GSD (REIs generous return policy) and got a Radwagon 5, I wish I had just gotten the Via Pro because I wanted an enclosure for my kids so I got the radio flyer one to work on my Rad but it's not perfect. Main reason I returned the GSD is I wanted a throttle.. and money

Enclosures are such a key item. Apparently Rad's Conestoga sold poorly, which is why they discontinued it, but I'm super proud of the work we've done adapting the storm shield for the Abound, and helping families get the benefit of the Tern accessories on a budget bike.

I have an abound with 1600 miles on it in 1.5 years. It’s great but does break spokes often. The stem is kinda whacky, I’ve never folded it down ever.

The abound LR was just announced and follows in the trend of the SR but in long tail form.

fwiw, I expect that the LR is going to top this list as soon as I do a full review, but mine hasn't gotten here yet (and the accessories for it are still a bit of an unknown, and aren't fully stocked yet).
