Be careful with amcargobikes/amladcykler. The bikes are cheap Chinese imports and NOT danish build nor designed. The bikes were found to have poor safety features such as uneven breaking and rusting support beams and unstable steering. Poor durability and poor customer service. They were revealed to be a scam here in Denmark in a big TV program but it seems like they have moved to the uk marked now. So watch out.

Edit: here's an AI summary of the article
Ahh, rats! Thanks for the warning.
I think your review is still good tho since it covers many general points about owning a cargo bike and a lot of genuine good experiences about how grate a cargo bike is to use everyday. That's really nice to read and will hold true for any bike. Just make sure you service the breaks well or change them entirely some time soon so you don't have an accident when you really need them. Also it might be a good idea to inspect the frame and drill a little draining hole where water could be collecting inside the frame. I think that was one of the major causes for the rust. Water got in somehow and could not get out of the frame. Then possibly follow up with some rust protection inside the frame everywhere you can get to it. That should help tremendously imo.
