One more to consider: the Workcycles fr8 V8. I have had all non electric assists: Yuba mundo, bakfiets and fr8 so can only speak to the bike design. I think the fr8 is the most bike like and most likely to be ridden without a big load like 1-3 kids. It is a nice one to have as the kids grow out of riding with you (though my 12 year old will still catch a ride on it). But since you are talking long distances and hot weather etc.. an assist makes sense and so think of the V8 version. German motor (not Bosch but workcyckes only uses really good parts) and lights, fenders etc. are included. Great add ons like racks (get a front and rear) and child seat in between you and the handlebars: the favorite spot for all of my kids and the best handling. Now, a rest ride for a week makes so much sense and you might not be able to do that, which is a huge drawback.
