Cargo Bikes Anyone?

[KerryFairy]

I have been wanting to buy a cargo bike for over a year and have finally persuaded DH to let me get one.

I have tried the bakfiets two wheel one and it was wobbly but fun. Has anyone got one what do you think?

I would love a bellabike which is what I first had my eye on but can't find a second hand one and have a budget of £1000 tops, which is a shame.

I fancy a three wheel one but haven't had a test ride in any yet, I think the nihola (sp?) is too small a box my kids are older.

Anyone tried the Babboe Bike? Its just over my budget but love the fact you can customise the box as I want to advertise my business while riding it. I did contact them to offer to be an agent for them in my area but didn't get a reply but it was worth a shot.

Any feedback greatly received.
thanks

You could join the CTC and see what their product guides say, also try their forums or Bikeradar fora for experiences.

Bumping this thread to see if anyone writes back... I'm in the market for green school-run transport so have a vested interest in the feedback!

Hi all, if anyone's interested, I'm selling my secondhand Bellabike here www.mumsnet.com/local/norwich/nearly-news/4897-bella-bike-4-cargo-family-delivery-bike-trike-tricycle-like-christiania-bakfiets-trikidoo, it's in near perfect condition. Thanks

We have had one for 9 months and it is the best purchase I have ever made. Read my review of ours:
