New Wisper Tailwind 806 Launches on Tuesday

Room indeed is the main issue with storing a proper cargo bike safely /securely and in the dry.
I store my Ute in the attached garage where room is at a premium as I we have years of clutter kept.
Indeed in my mind a poper cargo bike is one of a LWB design , the Ute is over 2.1m and is a trekking style cargo bike rather than a haevy loade for bulky loads. Though it is excellant for towing a heavily loaded trailer .
Mike Burows 8 freight is a superb design using a more traditional rider placing rather then those bikes with a large bin at the front for shoving the kids in. To me placement of cargo is much preferred behind the rider then in front.

But that is my view point , every one who uses a cargo bike set up has differing uses for them and will have their preference for carrying dogs, kiddies or general cargo loads..

Has anyone got a double-decker cargo ebike?

The Circe Helios is a tandem 20" but it is clever as one can add a rear cargo deck in place of the second rider position.
Like any cargo bike they are not cheap , they have a lowish step over and battery placement isn't an issue.

Any dealers thinking of adding a cargo/utility bike to their range, my ideas for a frame are here: https://odysee.com/@Groucho:9
However long the frame, the principles are the same. I know things are difficult financially, but if people are getting poorer, perhaps the market will change for ebikes to transport things. These people have lots, and that is just one supplier: https://jobo.en.alibaba.com/productgrouplist-800882892/Electric_Cargo_Bike.html?spm=a2700.shop_oth.88.15.9b8a3f58scoP0S

I know the guys at Jobo very well, they used to supply me when I was at FreeGo. They are nice people and their products although not world class are OK. Indeed I once modeled for them! If anyone would like an intro please let me know.

All the best, David

There are still plenty of Freego bikes around here. (They were based in Southampton I think). We have a lady in our SITP group who is 83 this year, and still rides hers. The man from Juicy Bikes supplied me with a frame a while ago. I think that was from Jobo, and it was very well finished. I built the bike but did not have room in the end.

Yes we were based in Southampton. The bikes had a lot of issues, I was there for two years as a Director and major shareholder. I tried to help but in the end I resigned, they eventually went out of business.

All the best, David

That looks useful. Looks as though it could easily transport the coffin of a slightly under average sized person, which is of course the only reasonable benchmark for cargo bike effectiveness. 16" wheel at the back for lower CofG? Save the coffin tipping over and shortarse wotsisname falling out, when stopped and leaning to one side at traffc lights.

There was a very interesting but rickety looking expanding cargo bike Kickstarted or Ingogogoed, looked a space saver. Other times it was a normal length bike. Dutch. But not enough room for a coffin AFAIR.

Surly this tops the Guerny Cargo Coffin Benchmark™ leaderboard. And it weighs only 16.8kg - my 20" wheeled Dahon BBS01B converted folding bike could drag this uphill no problem, if the dead perp wasn't too fat.

Large Flatbed Bike Cargo Trailer

The Surly Bill Trailer is an ultra-durable bike trailer that can be mounted to the bike frame or axle.

Hitch replaces the problematically limiting QR skewer too, nice.

That's cool and hoopy frood. Is there a height adjustable version which enables shortarse wotsisface to see more of the road ahead? Passes the foetus shaped coffin test.
