Welcome! Also, nice ride!
Needs moar groceries
That would be far too vulgar a display of power.
I am jealous of your bike haha
We have someone that tools around on one of those in my town. I’m always jealous when I see it!
So, where I live I’m too scared it would grow legs when I’m in store shopping. What do you use for a lock/security? Or are you in one of those places people act right?
I use a secure D lock and it has a built in frame lock that locks the rear wheel to the frame.
A Kryptonite Evolution U lock through your frame, and locking wheel skewers is sufficient in most cases. Yes, any lock can be cut or picked, but picking them isn’t as easy as LPL makes it look, and cutting one draws attention. If you’re in a moderate crime area, I wouldn’t leave a bike locked up over night, but otherwise you’ll probably be fine.
And I can Lug those things with a normal, muscle powered, bike with a 100$ trailer. And the best part is, I can use that bike to go anywhere without a trailer, and it’s not big and unwieldy.
I don’t know about that, carrying heavier things in a trailer can be pretty precarious and having electric assist when you’re carrying a lot is pretty great. Grocery shopping on my ebike is definitely easier and way faster than it is on my mountain bike.
No offense, but where do you live? Living somewhere reasonably flat (anywhere in the midwest, for instance) makes a cargo bike much more reasonable. The town I live in is at 1500’; my home is at 3000’. That’s a 1500’ elevation difference over the 10 mile or so drive, which is not insignificant. Especially since most of the climb takes place over about a 3 mile stretch.
Somewhere pretty hilly. The bike is electric so helps with the hills a lot. I’m not light and even with cargo it can maintain 15kmh up 20% hills with me pedaling. It does hit the battery: I get about 30km on a full charge if I’m using max assist on hilly terrain. Can get a lot more if I use eco mode on flatter ground
Ah, I didn’t realize that it was electric. I’m used to the more “traditional” cargo bikes that have 1HP (human power).
