I believe the production costs of going for various colours and sizes in the WiFi vs only one colour one size in the Classic is part of the reason for the difference, plus the frame details on the WiFi are impressive, things like the curved seatstay bridge look very nice.
Considering the price of literally everything in the bike world has gone up this year, Omnium's idea of bringing out the 'Classic' option to keep costs down is pretty smart.
Comparably LvsH have increased their prices across the board by 10%, as have a lot of brands, the Classic is essentially the same pricing as their bikes used to be whereas the WiFi models are more expensive but have added value.
I might be wrong but I do think it's a justifiable price difference. If you want some Omnium parts drop me a message, we order from them pretty regularly and you can buy wheelsets and racks separately.

Here’s a blog post that hopefully helps everyone looking at getting an Omnium understand the changes to their range made this year and which options have WiFi and Classic models

I've seen some people mount their dynamo lights to the fork on Omniums, partly because it means it won't interfere with your cargo but also I think it looks neater, not sure exactly how they mount them though as they seem to be held on part way down the fork blade. When I see an example I'll send it over

We got a few WiFi Cargo framekits and completes in various sizes and colours as we can definitely use the groupsets with other projects if people just want framekits.
Plus a handful of Classic Mini and Classic Mini Variant completes on their way, we’ve got some Cargo frames we can build up if people want Minis as frames

Bullitt stock is decent at the moment except for EP8, unless you don’t mind what colour you have in which case you may get one before June
As others have mentioned though yeah Brexit has caused some major delays, we had an eBullitt shipped from Cph on December 14th arrived with UK Customs on Dec 17th and the bike didn’t arrive with us until mid February thanks to slow processing at Customs, it does seem to be getting marginally better as we progress through the year though

The mini variant only comes in Classic at the moment I believe, we can order that though

I was thinking this trying to work out where he got that price from ha.
It's 3rd hand and to buy one brand new including the accessories he has on there would be £3500ish
I mean they hold their value but I think he's a touch off the mark
EDIT ah I see now, if you check the chainstay you can see it's a limited edition 'Harry vs Larry'

Nothing wrong with Babboe, personally I have not got a huge amount of experience with them but I do know they’re pretty heavy.
The thing is any decent pedal assist motor is £1700-2000 and most decent non electric cargo bikes are £2500ish
I’m sure there’s something out there though, to be fair the Ridgeback e8000 cargo bike looks pretty cool, not sure who’s stocking it though

worth noting the Nexus 7 coaster brake option is the lowest/cheapest complete Bullitt so you could get a new one for £2535 although it is special order from Denmark only
Deore 20 spd is £2860
On the continent the rule of thumb for selling a 2nd hand Bullitt seems to be €1k off of rrp almost regardless of use
Hope this helps
