Great Review, Some great insights to the practicalities of real world use of the bike. I have the honour of selling R&M bikes to customers and have really enjoyed riding the Vario version. I love how nimble it is and how comfortable the ride is in the city. I see that having the bike for a longer period of time helps to learn the in and outs. Not having children myself, your review helps me consider the logistics of carrying children and the accessories involved better. Again Thank you for sharing some great info that I can share, and for pointing out things I had not considered or had not noticed. The steering to the left being one of them. cheers!
I recently ordered a Carrie. I already have a Tinker bike, which I enjoy tremendously. I will use my Carrie for long-distance cycling with my tent, personal belongings and food, not for transporting children.
Thanks for the review, there are not many reviews of this bike out there yet. BTW, I had watched some of your videos in German, which are excellent. Glad to discover you have an English channel too!
I really enjoy your reviews. They are always informative, thoughtful and thorough. Thanks for taking the time to create them. I've been eyeing this particular cargo bike, as well as the Yoonit, Monopole, and Vello's SUB.
Carrie taking notes from Muli, which is not a bad thing. Long John designs aren't just fun to ride and more practical at hauling stuff when you hadn't planned for it, they're also a rolling advertisement that "THIS IS A UTILITY BIKE, AND PEOPLE CAN USE BIKES FOR THEIR TRANSPORTATION." If a Long John is the Sport Utility Vehicle of bikes, then the compact Long John is the hatchback or station wagon. I hope it proves to be a successful model.
Thank you for doing an English version as well! Any tips for how to create little storage compartments for my daughter's water bottle, snack boxes, stuffed animals in the inside of the doors?
You can use the straps in the sides for lighter items such as stuffed animals. For Bottles, I think you have to craft something on your own. Small crate with hooks for example. But there is currently no accessory from R&M.
Would love to have one of these in the garage, our Urban Arrow is awesome but sometimes it just feels a bit too big - especially when trying to catch a train somewhere.
Felt like a comprehensive review, balancing fulsome praise with a smaller list of candid dislikes. Really helpful.

From the looks of it, you were possibly the wrong gear on that climb. The steering can be realigned as well.
I was in the lowest gear. The bike came in the factory configuration, so the difference in the steering angle is intended.
