Pedal cages on a cargo bike?

I’m a new electric cargo bike owner. My acoustic bike has pedal cages, and strangely not having them is one of the things that I’m struggling with. Has anyone put them on a cargo bike? It seems strange replace my nice new pedals, but I’m so used to using them to “prep for take off”.

  Acoustic bike just means a regular ol’ bike- non-electric. Pedal cages are the things you can slip your feet into instead of an open pedal design
