Yeah, for sure - but having the gates drive is a really high selling point for me given how much salt is on the roads here in Glasgow through winter.
I'll be buying from LBS which is cargo bike specific so hopefully that's a benefit.
gillies-
excellent choice! How are you going to store it? Did you try riding one without the assist?

Any other igh, chain drive plus something like a Hebie chainglider gotta be a better option than a Nuvinci and a belt no?
Chuck an upgrade to something like a Surly stainless steel chainring into the mix and drivetrain wear becomes almost a non issue.

They're a bit marmite. Also ties you to an LBS for service and repair, whereas a normal derailleur system is easily DIY.
