@smeg Are you willing to tinker and wrench things if needed?
And how much cargo are we talking? If you're trying to carry another human being, yeah I wouldn't try to jerry rig anything. But for groceries you could add on racks and bags to a non cargo bike. That would definitely be cheaper than a dedicated cargo bike.
That said, the Lectric Xpedition is currently on sale for 1699, almost within your range, maybe you could stretch it upward a little?

@smeg TBH, there doesn't seems to be many. Here in France the cheapest swings between 2.7k and 2.9k Euros.

The single battery version of the Lectric XPedition is under $1500.

We own two of the folding XP step through (original version). They aren't the best out there, but they have been reliable and are a good value.
