  Saw this DIY one in Dublin a while back too. Mad looking. I think the hinges on the back might be fold down footpegs if the basket isn't there? Like a surly big dummy kinda thing? No idea. Not sure I'd be keen on having kids on the back or any weight in it with only 1 brake. Looks like it gets used though!

  Saw this one in Berlin in December 23.

  xyzcargo.com was the website, looks like a DIY thing you can build with "fair pricing", you can get a prebuilt one or buy the guide on how to build it. They have a cargo trike, 2 seater recumbent trike, a 4 wheel cargo recumbent bike and a cargo truck on their website too.

  "XYZ SPACEFRAME VEHICLES is based on a low cost, light weight, highly durable construction requiring only simple hand-held, non specialized tools to produce". Pretty mad concept and interesting idea but looks sharp and uncomfortable ha. I'd love to DIY my own cargo bike though. Didnt see the owner inside the mcdonalds so didnt get to talk to them.

  They have a free sample guide on how to make a recumbent trike here

  I think I might have a few spares in a bag somewhere if you wanted me to have a look? Think I broke a faceplate on an x4 once and they came with the replacement, look to be the same? Would just need throwing in an envelope

  Yeah I've definitely spent more money on worse things. I guess it couldn't hurt.

  Thanks too +Grumpy_Git

  I'm looking for a rear light and atm I'm looking at a B&M Toplight Line brake plus , does anyone have one? Is the brake light worth an extra €14 over the regular one?

  Or does anyone have another recommendation for one? Going on my commuter's rack and will be with an IQ-x.

  Similar to velo flyer's agro bar if you wanted something (probably) cheaper

  What length is it? 300mm?

  I've been tempted by one for my track bike. Cheaper than a longboi
