  • 3 and 6 now, so there's a 100% chance of fights if I squeeze both of them into the standard box. If I can add 10cm each side though I think it'd be fine

    Normal. There was an initiative from the Swedish government to subsidise electric bikes but I didn't know about it. They paid 25% of the full price so it'd been same price for me in the end...

  • Tempted by a Bullitt but my kids are 3 and 6 too, wondering if I’m going to get enough years’ use out of it based on what you’re saying...I’d like them up front ideally.

    Otherwise I’m thinking of something like a Workcycles FR8, but then there’s less capacity for carrying shopping etc.

  • Do consider the Xtracycle, but the kids go behind you not in front. These bikes seem incredibly popular for ferrying kids and you may get more years of use before they outgrow it.

    It’s no box bike, but with all the optional accessories it seems very versatile. (Same is true of other the longtails, Yuba etc)

  • I think a bullitt will be handy in our family for years. Our kids now ride alongside me until they’re knackered, we then get both kids and bikes in a pile on the bullitt and continue the journey.

    Once the kids are big enough to ride everywhere themselves I’ll use the bullitt to carry kit, food, bbq, etc for outings.

    I’ve got a rough idea on how to strap two kids bikes to the side of the box, gonna give it a go as soon as I have some spare time
