Now, certainly, the Dualie will have a hard time tackling technical single-track trails with tight corners and steep climbs and descents. It’s clear, though, that it wasn’t built for that. Instead, it seems that the Dualie is better suited for leisure riding on gravel roads and rural areas.

The bike world is inventive. Many of the inventions don’t “stick”, but sometimes they do, like dropper posts or full-suspension MTBs.
I don’t think this dual front wheel is going to “stick”. With two forks, an extra front wheel and tire, plus the linkage to keep the forks aligned thru the steering, it likely adds at least 15 pounds to the bike.
The site says the Rungu bikes weigh between 85 and 120 lbs! That is insanely heavy even for an e-bike. A Santa Cruz Hecker, admittedly a high-end MTB, clocks in at 45 lbs.
How much does a Santa Cruz Heckler cost?
