New xtracycle edgerunner cargo bike - what do you think?

Another pro, and pics

Rear dropouts are well designed, 10mm and pretty beefy.

I love the Edgerunner concept, but fear that Edgerunner's rated 350# limit for rider and gear (including motor and batteries) suggest it is built relatively flimsily compared to the Big Dummy and Yuba Mundo frames. I've been discouraged by the light and slender build appearance of the Extracycle gear I've seen thus far.

I weigh 275# and carry a 104V Ah Headway 32S setup to run my HT3525 with a 20.8" diameter tire.

I'd rather use a heavier duty frame like the two mentioned with 2.5" 16" motorbike tires front and rear with a 145mm crankset.

Just looking at both frames, the xtracycle is built with much stronger tubing, but the big dummy has a stronger geometry. I would say both would be fine candidates.

Im sorry man, I didn't read your post about the cargo joe very well when I posted "we just got three of these" I meant edgerunners, we didn't order any cargo joes, we just got two pre-electric and one standard edgerunner.
