Refreshing to seeing a bike like this up on NSMB. Loved the review and the bike. The second battery mount is smart for a Cargo bike, as is the frame bag and the rear wheel hitch. I think 12s is over kill though, even if it's just Deore level. Would prefer to see 10s or 11s LinkGlide CUES which will be far more reliable long term. Might help bring the price down a touch too!
Also, in my experience, front loading cargo bikes are actually significantly more agile/fast turning than rear-loaders, once you get used to the handling. But rear loading bikes are definitley a bit more conifidince inspiring off-road, especially if shod with 3"+ rubber. That being said, I've ridden plenty of single track here in Australia on an Omnium (often with a dog) and it was totally fine!
