"its so light and easy rolling compared to others (douze and urban arrow, but those bikes have their advantages too, more weight, more relaxed)."
As far as I'm aware our Douze weighs the same as the equivalent Bullitt? Around the 25kg mark?The Bullitt has a longer top tube, but if you're carting nippers around you end up having to have the bars up high to clear the canopies or heads if you're canopy free!

Mmmm you might be right, think a regular Douze with Bosch is around the same mid 20kgs, last one I rode had an alloy box on the front and had LWB/80cm front end and a suspension fork (not sure if that was standard or they fitted it after). Cable steering slightly odd to begin with but you get used to it, can turn very tightly!

Love it. Got a lot of plans this year for little touring trips on it.
Reccomend the xt11 di2 for those who like to ride quixker/longer distances, less drag and more solid feel under foot compared to an internal gear hub (which are better for those who use them more in the city and for utility).
I ride it about 40% the time with the assistance off as you don't need it in flatter areas its so light and easy rolling compared to others (douze and urban arrow, but those bikes have their advantages too, more weight, more relaxed). Depends on what you want from a cargo bike.
This one is a demonstrator and anyone is welcome to take it for a test run or the day if you want!
