New longtail cargo bikes from French brands Moustache and O2Feel

Hat tip to @TrevorB for mentioning the 2021 Moustache Lundi 20, a Tern GSD competitor with the same 20" wheel size and ability to tip up on its rear rack for storage.

Another French brand O2Feel also recently launched another longtail model the Equo Cargo. Like other brands XtraCycle, Radio Flyer, Madsen, and Yuba, O2Feel have gone with a larger front wheel, smaller 20" rear wheel design

The smaller rear wheel is popular for transporting kids. They can more easily climb off and on. It also puts the weight lower. A larger than usual chainring is required with the smaller rear wheel so you do not spin out on the pedals. Here is a Yuba Sweet Curry that I made Spicy.

Well done on the battery placement, did you fabricate the mounting bracket yourself? I recall a 3rd party seller a few years ago sold an L-shaped bracket to mount a battery behind the seatpost to convert the former Yuba Boda pedal model, on the Kombi pedal model that replaced it there seems just enough space to fit a battery on the downtube though it looks like it might be a tight squeeze for a larger case.

Thanks. All I did on that one was to use Topeak Versa Mounts. They fit the SF Giants color scheme and take three minutes to install. On some cargo bikes I will use RivNuts. That is a pain and runs some risk. The Topeak's only work for smaller batteries. Or you need to make a custom cage, as with this recumbent.
