Yup this bike is built 2020 and rated for 100 kg, but I've been to bike shows and noticed the ones built now only are rated for 60 kg!! There's reports of cracked Load 75 frames, I suspect this is the reason for the lower rating.
Yes, my front bar broke once. The bolt shook off (no loctite) and the vibrations following only one remaining bolt broke the bar. R&M replaced it. Use loctite or similar and the bolts will stay in 🙂

@spaceV@ruhr.social I've not seen any front loaders/long john type with more than 100 kgs payload capacity. Not sure this is a good idea anyhow, I once went steep downhill with 100 kg in the box and a 100 kg unbraked trailer behind – my brakes were smoking just from trying not to runaway, for real. Need more wheels to distribute braking force on. I'd be eyeing the Carla Cargo offering, it seems super nice with it's own brakes and 200 kg of loading capacity.
