        FAQ

        Frequently asked questions

        The Family is the original front-loader with its EPP foam box. The FamilyNext is the newer, more modern generation, available as Advanced (75 Nm) and Pro (100 Nm) for more power.

        No, the Breeze is a longtail: kids ride at the back. It takes 200 kg in total, including 80 kg on the rear rack, and handles like a regular bike.

        We compared both in detail in a dedicated article. In short: Urban Arrow for the light box and simplicity, Riese & Müller Load for full suspension.
