Why a cargo bike and not an electric tandem bike? This way you both have comfortable seats and can support each other pedaling.
20" wheels f/r are a recent design expansion in the long tail cargo bike platform. 26" x 2.?" was the Surly standard for years. 24" f/r exists (under discussion), but split size f/r will remain uncommon because of the need to carry tubes or buy tires in odd lots. But if you missed
this photo, here it is again. Found
another when I went back. And still
another. All that said, your question is valid.
