Nope, the bikes I've seen always have it in the back. When I think of a cargo bike I think of a rickshaw or, if it's motorized, a tuk-tuk. Why would you want the cargo in the front? I'm pretty sure that'd make it a lot less stable.
Having driven multiple models of cargo bikes, some with cargo in the back, having an overview of your whole bike and only having the main tire behind you handels way better. Taking corners and leaning into a curve feels way more intuitive.
Is that one wheel in the back, two in front, or two wheels in back, one in front? The bike in the article has one front wheel, two back wheels. I'm just surprised that it's more stable to put the weight closer to the single wheel than the dual wheels.
Edit: oh my god I'm losing my mind. The one in the article only has two wheels. I swear it had three!
