Pascalo,
Can whole heartedly recommend the Douze. Cable steering is great, super nimble and great for filtering through traffic and also manoeuvring in/out of garage etc. So is the step-through frame, although their standard frame looks better in my opinion. Really wanted a Bullitt, but the wife hated the handling and thought we'd end up with a Bakfiets until she got on the Douze.
Downside is that it was the most expensive option out of all the bikes we looked at! Have a medium front with kids seat (great seat belts etc.) and full canopy which is really useful this time of year, our little man is nice and toasty even when it's -3 degrees.
I have a love/hate relationship with hub gears, just need to stop trying to ride the cargo bike like it's a race bike I guess! :)
Douze do an XL frame so may fit you better. Shout if you have any Douze related questions.
Ta!

Funny, I don't recall ever seeing one of these here in Berlin, yet now there's talk about them here I just spotted one yesterday outside of a supermarket.. looking really good in the flesh!!

that's rad.
in other news, i trialled a Douze today and I am pretty sure i'll get it.
Much more nimble and light than a bakfiets. Great turning circle also.
Just need the kids seat, higher rail and a slightly longer seatpost and it'd be perfect.
