As I start getting this beauty sorted I’m struck by its slightly funky handling. Maybe all cargo bikes have funky handling, but something jumps out at me: the (clearly home made) yoke for the steering at the front is 80mm from rotational centre to the rose joint, whereas under the handlebars that distance is 60mm. This gives you an uneven leverage- if you turn the bars loads, the wheel turns by not so much. Is this a standard cargo thing? It feels weird to me
