It's a different bike which requires a bit of time to change your riding style to. We had the same problems initially but then you learn how to handle cornering, particularly with the centering of your body weight, and it's all ok.

I’ve ridden one. Obviously it’s a 3-wheeler so you can’t lean it round bends and when you go over a bump (or drop curb) the bike tips, which a 2-wheeler doesn’t do. If you throw it round a bend I could see how it could go over if you weren’t careful.
I didn’t like it, personally. I’m used to my long-john though. There’s two I see regularly near work, both used for kiddie drop-off and then shopping, plus my mate at work has one which was the one I rode. The mum I see riding hers absolutely canes it around, so they can be ridden hard if you put your back into it.

Yes, they handle terribly unless you have some decent weight in them. Also riding on roads with any camber is super weird. I rode one for some months delivering buns and would not wish to go back.

Does anyone ride a Christiania Light? We just got two in at work and multiple cargo riders report they feel unstable when cornering, going up/down dropped curbs, tight turning, and when the road has camber. Two riders have tipped them over. Do we need to add ballast? Lower tyre pressures?
