Interesting but limited to items which fit the baskets it appears. Fine for groceries and smaller items but not good for large or bulky items which a longtail bike with horizontal style racks such as the Yuba Mundo or Xtracycle H Racks can handle fine.

I like the integral dynamo front light but IMO it also needs fenders for both rider and cargo protection. Also I wonder if the center stand is wide enough to be practical while loading the bike.
