This is the Zaftig, a replacement fork/rack combo for any bike which, if paired with a strong front wheel should enable you to move the entire contents of your home in one go.

The stock $200 Zaftig can be had for threaded or threadless headsets, and is designed for a 20-inch (BMX) wheel. Should you choose not to carry heavy boxes with you onto the half-pipe, the fork is adjustable with a 5mm Allen wrench to fit most any wheel. The steel rack is integrated with the fork to minimize flex and increase strength, and you can opt for a disk-brake tab or a pair of cantilever posts (both a $25 option).

Why we like it: While not cheap, this is still an inexpensive way to get yourself a strong cargo bike. It is also a great way to switch out the front wheel for a smaller one and lower the load into a much more stable position. If you haul a lot of gear, this might be just what you're looking for. Available now.
