E-bike and a trailer is some valuable context
Yeah, I'm pretty sure OP wouldn't be able to carry that by bike.
Carry what? Bet I can.
Maybe "wouldn't be able to" was a little strongly worded, for I've seen people carry the weirdest stuff by bike, from 65" flatscreens to mid-sized furniture, but it cannot possibly be comfortable nor safe to carry a sofa by bike (eg. not a trailer pulled by bike/car/pedestrian) for any significant distance.
If you have any kind of trailer, then that's of course a entirely different story.
The trailers were absolutely essential. All of my trips were done on acoustic bikes, some of my friends brought ebikes on the day we moved the stuff that required two people to carry up stairs. All of the loads could have been done without ebikes, but I probably would have had fewer friends willing to help on that day if we were on acoustic bikes.
I didn’t know they were called electric and acoustic like guitars haha
