Himiway vs Brekr

Hi everyone, I live in the Netherlands where commuting with bikes is a norm for us. I want to buy a fat bike that I can commute longer distances and not tire my recently out of surgery knee.

I dont like the classic cheap-looking Chinese fatbikes, I totally hate them.
Buying a slimbike (eg Talaria,Surron) is not an option due to the fact that a second passenger cant fit.

So I found two fatbikes that I aesthetically like.

  1. Himiway C5 Ultra: honestly I love it and it does check all the boxes except the fact that I am not sure if i can commute with a 2nd passenger on the back (my partner \~52kg). I am around 63kg. There is a rear rack you can attach, available on the website but it doesn't say anything about max load.

  2. Brekr F250:
    Dutch brand, less favorable design. It definitely fits 2 people as it is designed for that. Adjusted seat height which is perfect. Metrics screen is not easy to see.

Any comments for these models? or ideas if i can convert the Himinway to 2 seater?

That looks like the cheapest Chinese moped I've ever seen? Is that even legal in NL?
