Hey JB. I'm loving the Yuba. It's not perfect, but it's bloody good.
Main complaint would be that there's a lack of good design in a couple of places, e.g. the pin lock for the front wheel is a brilliant idea but the execution is a bit faffy.
Also, their website and marketing material has fudged a photo of a set up with two child seats on the rear that cannot possibly work without massive heel overlap, so we had to cut a new hole in the 'Kombi deck' to fit it.
I paid for the deck and runner boards but probably don't need them. I've just ordered a second Urban Iki seat - hoping to squeeze two of those on the back with one of their 'ring' handle bars.
I know the photo you mean. I won't be hauling any kids anywhere so that's no issue for me. Just some dogs in a dog crate. That seat is very cool, though.
Good to know about the lock. I have one of those ordered too.
I've just ordered a Tongsheng motor for my Yuba. Good to know someone else is converting at the same time - watch out for messages from me when I get stuck.

It's a 42 chainring.
