I have one, and they are legit awesome. specifically I have a non e one with a Swytch bike kit (but imagine the mid drive is a bit better.) For comparison I also have a 2 long johns, a long tail and a 3wheeler cargo bike in the family fleet. They basically make a great little cycle truck. Overloading the front rack can get a little sketchy ( I had a big custom bag made to carry a full shopping trip) but balanced out with a heavy duty rear rack and balanced load and it feels very confidant. I even took it on a camping tour last summer as I could be a camping maximalist (handles gravel tracks fine LOL) Best feedback I can give is size up on tires (2,4" fits but you will need different fenders) feels bullet proof in the city. 10/10 would recommend.
I will be honest though that my longtail has more or less replaced the Katu but only because it does more of everything with a longer range (bigger battery) but im still keeping it around for the time being.
Out of everything the bikes that are leaving are the long johns, just too much bike for what we need (only 1 kid)

Maybe not quite full cargo, but anyone here have experience of the little orbea katu-e? With a racks and pannier it looks ideal for our small household
