Basically we have 1 3yo but a few times a month need to haul 3 kids. More often being able to put wife and kid in one bike makes the logistics of going into town much easier. I bought a cheap babboe big for this but its not ideal. The bullitt is my wife’s daily and is heavily customized to really only work well to haul the one kid. 2 of the cargo bikes are straight up surplus and for sale (nihola and another longjohn) this could maybe replace longtail and babboe. So we end up with just ua and bullitt.
This UA is maybe the same vintage as mine, Enviolo, Performance, chain drive. Enviolo Hubs get a bad rep here but what can I say, it shifts and hasn’t let me down yet. I’d love to have a go on one of the new ones with a cargo line motor to feel the difference. That said I got up Forest Hill with 80kg of horse manure and didn’t die.
If I were you I’d consider what the overlaps are with the other cargo bikes in the stable. Bullets are nice but if you’re carrying kids the UAs feel very solid and safe due to the hefty weight and eps box, the rain cover is good, you can clip in a child seat etc. the whole usability package.
