intensity to the throttle

I normally do not use throttles except for the elderly and disabled. But I could make a special rheostat just for that. If it were Bluetooth it could be remote or tied to the torque sensor.

There is a good chance I will be tricking out this beauty, Brooks, leather grips, 11-50 9-sp cassette, and silver DM02 motor. It is actually a Globe Haul. That is the same name reused by Specialized for their new matte, fat 20", hunky-chunky hub-drive. I will do nice medium-wide gravel tan walls. The owner loves single track climbs and is into climate action. Those are classic lines with good bones. I love the woody deck. Perfect for maybe a recycled mahogany custom surf rack, with a speaker playing Dick Dale and the Beach Boys on loop with some Bob Marley. It will also get a silver fox tail on the back.

That bike has a long wheel base for a smooth ride but not too long, an integrated strong rack, and lightweight Al frame. It has a double wide kickstand that re-deploys to the non-drive side. I love the paint. Double wide panniers will go under the wood deck with a crossed bungee system that can be applied on top for much larger luggage. See there is no yellowing of the dork-disk or reflectors. It is a twenty-year vampire bike, protected from UV and ozone. LA bikes would rot immediately in the late 1970's due to ozone. This bike was kept inside in the dark for 20-years. When finished it will run down the new Haul and will not look electric.

Some beautiful scenery and bikes in this thread. Here is my new Wombat-1 grocery getter just back from Aldi.

Only thing I would like to change is a larger chainring to lower my cadence at 20+ mph.

As requested. This is my 2021 Cannondale Tesoro Neo X Speed, bought as a leftover in May 2025. There are significant modifications. Build thread here.

I need to see it!
I am just finishing a cargo with a DM02 and a Box 4 8-sp, 11-42. I will shorten the display wire in the morning. And do the programing. Then it is done. It was an Extracycle with a Bionx. I mixed three colors of paint to match for touch-up.

I'm sorry, I got called away for dinner and must have missed the upload.
