I had an 8freight, I admired the design but it was not anything like as good to ride as all the long john designs I've had since. very squirrely. it's also bad having the load behind you, as you can't see it.

I have a longjohn, a katu and just picked up a longtail kid hauler this week. I bought the katu as the longjohn was just too much bike and the kid didn't like it. I got the longtail as the katu just felt like a little too little sometimes. But it is fun as hell. Trying to get my wife to take it over to keep it in the rotation. Longtail im not sure on yet as only have about 5km in it.

Surely this is the right place to ask, so
People of the cargo bike, what are the pros and cons of each type of bike?
There are LongJohns, LongTails, Butcher (small front wheel) and Compact (20” Katu style) anything else I’ve missed?
I’m quite drawn to either a LongJohn or Freight 8 style Longtail.
Oh trikes are a nonstarter for many and various reasons.
Cheers ta.
