I've been tempted by a very well priced alternative.

From what I've read so far. Its a chinese version of a Dutch bike. Apparantly there are a few of these on the market. Intentionally given Dutch sounding names to inflate the price. I've seen it at just over £1k, so the Ebay listing at £680 is possibly a none inflated fair price.
It will need a wider gear range, and possibly other upgrades. But its still a bargin.......or is it a turkey?
Still keen on the Mundo, after loads of research. Its not the best. But it seems the best cargo bike, is the one that fits yours needs most. I have a 'best case build planned. This involoves a N360 IGH, and FSA Metropolis cranks. Which gives 2 nice ranges. One for heavy loads, and one for unloaded cycling.
