+1 regarding low spoke count. I've broken quite a few spokes on our Douze in the 22 months we have owned it. Love the idea of building a lightweight cargo bike, but not at the expense of practicality, that's why I'd chuck in mudguards and dynamo lights meaning you can ride it anytime in all weathers...

If I was building a cargo bike I'd want to build the strongest wheels I could, we break spokes all the time on the bullits we use for work. It's really easy to do when you hit a pot hole or speed bump with a heavy load. A low spoke count doesn't seem like a good idea to me.
