I wonder how it feels with miles of cables through what must be an alarming amount of pulleys to get it from the steerer to the front wheel.
It seems like they forgot the first part of the Colin Chapman proverb "simply and add lightness."
MisterMikkel-
Does the length of the cable really matter though? I think it's just the amount they're moved by. Fwiw on the douze the steering is great.

Probably not great! We have a Douze with pretty direct/simple cable steering and over winter it needs looking after to keep smooth, especially if you want to minimise play in the steering which generates additional friction due to cable tension. Their steering set-up looks bonkers!!!
€3K is cheap for such a low production volume carbon cargo bike, assume that's F&F only?!

It seems to be some kind of lefty-type arrangement with the "steerer" offset to the NDS next to the hub. (similar to the left front wheel of my wifes Nihola)
