The very same demo model was up for sale with a nice discount. Just paid. Will have the bike very soon, soft bag, bench and tarp will be shipped from Melbourne next week. For now forgoing the full canopy. Might get that when winter strikes.
All that's left is a 400 seat post and I'm good to go. XL might fit me better, like this there's a remote chance to have my wife ride it though.

Cool! Enjoy the Douze. Always makes me smile every time I ride it. Our kid loves it and on occasions I end up giving other kids lifts to/from nursery and is all they do it laugh and giggle as we cruise along.
I'm lucky my wife is the same height as me so the saddle is at a reasonable height and have also fitted dual sided pedals so I can use my mtb shoes to help power along and get up hills easier.
Enjoy!!! :)

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!
