    You can’t be serious with this design. Really? The cyclist is in the back? You’re now pushing the load instead of pulling it. Why would you make a bike like that?

    Edit: oh my god I’m losing my mind. The one in the article only has two wheels. I swear it had three!

        Nope, the bikes I’ve seen always have it in the back. When I think of a cargo bike I think of a rickshaw or, if it’s motorized, a tuk-tuk. Why would you want the cargo in the front? I’m pretty sure that’d make it a lot less stable.

          Having driven multiple models of cargo bikes, some with cargo in the back, having an overview of your whole bike and only having the main tire behind you handels way better. Taking corners and leaning into a curve feels way more intuitive.
