Leg room in the Load 60 vs Load 75?

[pdxdan]

I'm trying to choose between buying an R&M Load60 or Load75 and I'm wondering about leg room for a taller child. I typically only need to carry 1 child (never 3). I see that for 2020 the Load60 now has an optional footwell which helps a lot. It also seems that the Load75 has a bench in the front for a 3rd kid. So my question is- does the Load75 actually have more legroom for a single child over the Load60 with a footwell? Or is the extra length taken up by the 3rd seat?

Thanks in advance to anyone that's familiar enough with the 2020 versions of these bikes to answer this!

I have personally sat inside the Load 60 and 75 with foot wells. The 60 makes a big improvement with this addition but there is still slightly more space in the 75 as the footwell is slightly larger. But for one kid I would stick with the 60. There shouldn’t be much of a difference in sizing out and I think you’ll appreciate the slightly better maneuverability of the 60.

Similar situation: I am looking at the Load 60 or 75 respectively as a commute bike. I need room for one kid (2.5 years, a small dog and my work bag). I also would like to use the bike for groceries on the weekend (likely with the kid coming along).

From your experience, is that feasible with the Load 60 or does it need the 75 from your experience?

Sounds like the 60 would be fine for this. Especially with the footwell. Keep in mind you also have some capacity on the rear carrier with panniers and/or a rack top bag or basket.

I am in a similar situation but I have 2 kids: one is 18 months and another 7 YO (around 122cm). I do not need the third seat .

@Chris Nolte: is the load 60 with footwell ok for 2 kids or is the 75 wider? Should I instead consider urban arrow which has a wider box? I discarded the packster because it has not the 4th gen Bosch
Thank you in advance
