I like it. Great for touring more than shopping, I'd say.
It will probably be quite expensive as it's a custom bike.
As a regular bike it will likely be heavier than regular bikes, so I don't see it as an everyday bike. The length of it means it will have a big turning circle.
If I was into carrying cargo, I'd go for a regular bike and trailer.

1.749 EUR or roughly 1.950 USD for the ebike model is actually not that bad after all if we think about it and if we consider the 37% discount from the original 3.100 USD

edit -> estimated delivery is February 2020 ...
