Check out the rack in the lower left corner. Very nice.

The one on the front? That would be very easy to make ( I made something similar for my old Harley Davidson, though scaled down for my huge battery it had) It's pretty cheap to for materials, a little flat steel, some round and a welder...simplicity at it's best.

Yeah porteur rack, blah, blah, blah. Notice the rear rack on that bike is twice as large. Carrying most of the load behind has always made sense.
echo2011, HandsomeRyan has built something similar but more stylish for his push bike.

There are a lot of good reason to have a load in front and there are a lot of good reasons to have a load in the rear.

Jtgotsjets comment + 1, I hate the negativity that follows if a post doesn't fall into line with someone's narrow interests.
So come on guys & gals, think a bit more positive.
As for the load being better on the back? My Long-John has carried loads up to 1/2 ton, in the front!
Hope you all have a grumpy old festive season! LOL!
