It is a small USA company, and they'll make the bike to your specs, although not necessarily cheap. So, for example if you wanted drop bars or touring bars, they'll add them. For some bikes, they'll send you an adjustable stem, then once you get the size set, send it back and they'll custom fabricate a gooseneck stem.
They used to put the DualDrive into some of their bikes, and could put in other IGH hubs if you needed.
Plus a color choice.
It sounds like Workcycles, above will also do some customization.
The other unique thing about the Haul a Day is it adjusts to size...the tube length can be changed from small to large so various family members can use it. That's not true for any other cargo bike I am aware of. So if there are two users, and one is larger than the other, that's not a problem.
