That rad power bike in the article is already quite shitty with the high cargo position compared to a more sensible approach to put cargo in a front bed.

This bike seems to have been designed to carry kids at the bike, not haul stuff.

That's a bit negative. Like you say, better at carrying kids than stuff (which is how I use mine), but that doesn't make it "quite shitty".

I own this bike: it's very good at carrying kids, pretty good at carrying stuff, and exceptionally good value. Rad has been shrinking the back wheel to lower cargo position as iterations progress, which is nice.

They make a front rack for it as well. But it isn't a bakfiets. But it's also about 1/4 the price.

I've owned a RadCity before and it wasn't shitty at all. The dang thing is still running after 7k miles of rough treatment and crashes. The only problem I really had is with the spoke pattern on the drive wheels. They used way too thick spokes that didn't like being bent at such a sharp angle.
