The last 1/2 of the bike is not a feature, unfortunately. It has a very narrow and tapered rear end, which isn't good for carrying anything at all without the addition of additional bars & hardware to make the rear end rectangular and wide enough to mount some cargo to.
I originally wanted to add rectangular bars to the rear of the bike to make it functionally a cargo bike. But it would have been a very expensive and complicated affair to have done, after the fact. The 2 people i know in the area who can weld both looked at it and said 'no, you're insane'. Even if it were possible, the end result would be much heavier than a yuba mundo, which is a bike far better suited to the task.
It was meant to have a specific gasoline engine and reduction box fitted and nothing else.
Luckily, their new designs have made the bike actually suitable for carrying things. But they are no longer really midtails.. just frames with rear racks built into them.
I couldn't even sell the bike for a fifth of the new asking price on here and elsewhere. I've just wanted it out of my sight ever since. Turning it into a lighter and more aerodynamic midtail beats throwing it in the trash.
