It’s a FollowMe towing an Early Rider 20”. Total weight on the R+M in that picture is 140kg, plus the bike (40kg) and the CargoLine motor/XT drivetrain just ride as normal.
My Omnium has a CYC Photon motor which has far more low down torque and speed, but has a lot of failure points so only take the kids locally. R+M I’d trust on a Euro tour, which we’re doing next month.

Yeah, Soma Dream bars with ESI grips. The basic ones are too narrow for my taste. JBL Clip speaker is waterproof and has a hook. Varia with camera as I had too many close passes – it's attached to the far side of the box to make me look wider, and I can see it flashing which lets me know somebody is approaching.
I also switched out the chainring for a 38t (from 48t) as I live in the countryside and use it off road a lot, added some big 2.25 tyres, and switched seatpost/saddle, and added some Ortlieb packs to the back of the box – fits a spare battery perfectly.
Here's how it looks most of the time, with a FollowMe attached. It's longer than my VW Transporter.
