  • The term is a trade bike. Or at least that used always to be the name for one with steel carrier at the front, used 50 years ago for taking goods door to door.

  • Note that such bikes are essentially unknown in the US, except perhaps in a few quarters of New York City, Philadelphia, etc.

  • You'll probably have to narrow the field. The generic name is 'cargo bike'; in the UK, these were known as butcher's bikes (although the Royal Mail had the largest fleet). Anyway, there's quite a variety, and quite a variety of names. Currently in the US, 'long-tail bikes' are popular for delivery, etc.
