Good job. Nice looking bike. However, it looks more suited to slow rides on a factory floor than on the roads since it lacks traditional handlebars. How does the steering feel? Is it hard to control in turns? You certainly can haul a lot with it.

What is the weight and is it a single speed with only a coaster brake? I do not see any evidence of a shifter or brake levers anywhere in the photos. IMO interesting but I am not sure how practical it would be for actual road use w/o gearing and better brakes. Might be fine for use around a flat industrial site or in a large warehouse though.

These bikes are commonly found and still produced in Mexico. People there use them for everything: taxis, taco carts, ice cream carts, trucks, etc. they are single speed and coaster brake
