Is it though? Basic hub motor, basic parts everywhere, not terrible, but not some amazing deal, once we get into 2023 you have zero chance of getting any other accessories for it as Decathlon will discontinue it and leave you hanging*
Yuba longtail (spicey curry or the other one) or even Xtracycle if you can get them over here over that Decathlon long tail, in the 'budget' (anything under £5k is kinda budget unfortunately in this super niche corner of bikes) cargo bike market Yuba are pretty good, some folks on here have them and rate above Kona/Surly for real world performance (i.e. not a wet noodle).*Source. I worked there for my sins for a bit, they give absolutely Zero Fs for most of their staff and their products once beyond the season that a quirky product was launched in

I thought it was too good a leal to be actually a good one.
i was also toying with the idea of getting a omnium mini-max frame and dump all my compatible parts on it and also get a bafang bottom braket motor.
i have a 18kg kid and another one on the way, i guess its pretty standard family setup....
this would cost:
1000chf frame
1000chf bafang
0 chf parts i alredy have
500 chf for extras and stuffwould get 2500c chf for an electric omnium mini max... right on my price bracket
dont see many omniums for family service....more rieseMuller and larry/harry and terns.... so maybe its a crap idea...
Just found this: https://www.babboe.fr/babboe-slim-mountain
a bit out of the price i wanted and kinda ruins the cargo capacity...
