Slightly different approach, but where I am Omnium cargo bikes have become very popular, they have a platform at the from, but aren't super long like a Bullet, and handle more like a regular bike. I've even come across a mod that means you can fold the platform up to store it easily in an apartment, or even in a hallway when combined with a stem that rotates the bars around.
If that works for you great. Those little front wheels and cargo out front is just not the direction Im looking to go, I’m basically wanting a gravel bike with cargo carrying by default.
Maybe try to look at their CXC V3 frameset, I have it and installed Tubus rack on it yesterday.
Carrying capacity is about 40 kg (depending on your wheels) I tested it by sitting on it and I weigh about 65kg.
