Guy who designed it, Neal Saiki, is said to be founder of Zero. I assume that is true, but not familiar with details of Zero.
A couple of quotes:
"The cargo bikes on the market are just horrible to ride, with terrible handling," said Saiki.
"I figure if you really don't want to pedal, you should just buy an electric motorcycle." (it has a pedal sensor)
"The battery is unique in that mechanics can go in and repair and refurbish the individual cells instead of having to replace it entirely." (Um. Not unique.)
Article says it has a belt drive but looks like a front hub. Touts the unusual steering but looks like it is the same as a bakfiet. In fact, it kind of looks like he reinvented the bakfiet.
EDIT: webpage says battery comes with lifetime warranty. Looks like will rebuild battery for 1/2 the replacement cost. That is pretty good. Also, the cells are NOT (EDIT of EDIT: added word NOT. Just a typo from first attempt) soldered in so can be swapped out easily. I'm becoming a little less skeptical. Anyway, battery looks good.
