Hello all!
My regular disclaimer: sorry the post is in English...I am based in the USA and cannot read or write in German. Also, this is the only source of information of its kind (that I can find). I use the google translate function, so feel free to post in whatever language you're most comfortable!
You may have seen my current cargo bike, which is actually quite great. But, I may have the opportunity to help design a new (and better!) one from the ground up. I want to know the forum's practical experience and theoretical implications of the following:

You may have seen my current cargo bike, which is actually quite great. But, I may have the opportunity to help design a new (and better!) one from the ground up. I want to know the forum's practical experience and theoretical implications of the following:
- wheels of the same size (both small or both large) versus large wheel in the back with small in the front
- cable versus linkage steering (or other
- hub steering vs. fork (this one's for you, @bastiaen)
- 3 (or more!) wheels versus 2 (not really a factor but I threw it in here for discussion's sake...I will 99% go with 2 wheels)
- "traditional" chain/sprocket vs belt/internal gears (responsiveness versus all-weather maintenance, right?)
- suspension (front, rear, both) vs. just using bigger tires
- any other comparisons you can think of!
