Awesome cargo bike! Brings back a lot of good memories for me.

Since I have two seats I had to get extra clearance for my ankles – I put a pedal extender on both sides. I also took the foot rests off the kid seats (kids are fine without them)

I feel like this is a very time limited workaround given how fast kids grow but maybe you teach the front passenger to put their feet in the middle.

I would kindly suggest seeing if you can make it work without the motor. It’s more work obviously but it has its own rewards.
