There are many different kinds of cargo bikes out there. I guess as a cyclist who works downtown (where bike density may be higher than in the suburbs) I see many varieties of bikes including a fair number or cargo bikes.
This one is certainly one of the largest and most unusual looking. American companies Surly and Belinky make cargo bikes as well as more conventional ones. The Bullit is Danish and at $4,000Cdn not cheap but it's one of the best out there. Huge payload capacity, carries up to 400 pounds and only weighs about 50 pounds; there are some cruisers and heavy-duty urban bikes like the Kronan that weigh about that amount. Come to think of it, Kronan makes a cargo bike, too. Here's a review of the Bullit if you're interested: http://momentummag.com/articles/cargo-bike-review-larry-vs-harry-bullitt-clockwork/ Thanks for the kind words and thanks to others who commented.

That bike certainly looks like a rare and low volume (semi-custom?) product.
