If you have a basket that moves with the handlebars that weight will be rough. I moved a car battery in the front basket of my ebike but it stays fixed when the handlebars move. Using your bike as a makeshift cart for the return is a reasonable option. I have done this with full five gallon kegs.

I'm pretty sure you should put the jetpack in the back.

This feels like the premise for a GTA mission.

One weird trick to get drivers to actually give you the legally-required 3 feet of passing distance.
