I wish them luck but fail to see the appeal. It seems to be compromised on virtually every point.

_ Not enough cargo space to keep me from riding a touring bike with panniers.

_ No child carrier

_ Pivoting designs always scream weak point and problems.

_ Kickstand not robust enough.

_ Wheelbase is way too long.

Rear end acts a bit like a Brompton but does not lock in place. What happens when I lift it? Does the rear wheel flop?

Also many car free people in big cities live in situations where storage is an issue for a bike this big. I sold cargo bikes in Chicago for a few years and it was always an issue. Anyway I like that they are thinking differently and wish them great success and it will be interesting to see the design evolve.
