  • So cool!
    Wonder why this hasn't been done by some of the big names already..

  • It's cool but it's very niche. I can't imagine 99% of the people who buy a folding bike would have any need for a cargo bike and I can't imagine this has anywhere near the payload/carrying capacity of a "proper" cargo bike so it probably doesn't appeal to much of that market either. Can anyone see the claimed max load weight anywhere?

  • I imagine a lot more people would have a cargo bike if they didn't have to worry about storing it.

    I don't own a cargo bike and don't plan on buying one as there'd be no safe place to store it whre I live right now - if it could be folded down to that size there'd suddenly be options.
    And sure it would be perfect to not be limited weight wise, but frankly most of the stuff I'd need a cargo bike for are just big / bulky - not necessarily very heavy.
    Maybe my use case is niche but not sure.. I'd have thought ther's definitely a market for a bike like that.

    I did think about getting an Omnium Mini @MisterMikkel, but storage would still be a bit of an issue for me, plus it's very expensive, doesn't offer much more than a rack, and I've heard a lot of times the handling isn't great really..
