Vince, hope the V2 Douze works out OK! :O
We got a Douze last September/October from LGC and all seems good so far. We don't have the electric assist and glad we didn't go for it based on your experience! Luckily we have a garage to keep it dry, but it has been left out on numerous wet days as our secure indoor bike park in work is inaccessible due to building work but it seems to be holding up well.
The rubber feet on the stand aren't the most robust, but we've learnt to kick them a quick kick every time we raise the stand so we don't keep losing them.
It's certainly not the cheapest cargo bike out there, but for manoeuvrability/capacity it's hard to beat...
You might wanna get the proven Urban Arrow Cargo XXL instead, there's lot's of them around here in the NL
