I mean even considering short commutes thats like 3x fork services a year. That is pretty wild considering shops advertise these things to parents as zero maintenance (cargo bikes in general)

All forks and shocks have a 100hr service interval now; they are complicated devices with many critical tolerance fits and seals. I'm sure most of them can go on far longer, but if there is something up with them, the chances of doing irreparable damage increases the longer you run it.

Do they do this? I'd hope they don't do this, given how complex these things are becoming.

Was wondering why they went for a smaller rear wheel, spotted this:
I can't imagine you'd see too many of these stocked in the UK as most CSG dealers are not cargo / utility bike dealers? They aren't going to want to give it floor space.
Fork has 100hr service interval which I'm sure most will ignore until it implodes.
What would have been cool, if they insisted on some sus, would have been them using their own Headshok for the fork. Or not used a sus fork at all.
