> This idea is absurdly underbaked…other commenters mentioned that it’s going to flip, and it is.

Assuming the rear is loaded with cargo, you'd have a low center of gravity over two wheels. To tip over, one of the rear wheels would need to come up, but that's where most of the weight is.

And I suspect the engineers who built this probably didn't just completely miss "oh wait, what if it tips over!?" Unless you've a) got some experience with this domain and b) got some experience with this bike, I don't know how you could know this bike is going to flip over.

My concern was mostly if the back isn’t heavily loaded.

But you’re probably right overall…if the attachments are expected to be substantially heavier than I was initially thinking, and if the bike were designed to go pretty slow, it’d be ok.
