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.

Cheers,
That’s quite the range right there! Good to hear from someone with experience of my whole list, all be it only a short time on the longtail.
I really like the idea of a Long John, but it’s the hardest one to get right yourself. The Katu style would be super easy, but I think you’ve hit the nail on the head about it a little too little.
More input is required.

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.
