Many years ago, someone once said to me that living in LA without a car was like having no legs. I haven’t lived there for years but I visit pretty often and haven’t seen much in the last 20 years that that has changed that mindset.

Geez, it only took them three years!

@mysteriousspokes, I’m considering the Priority e-Classic Plus also. Like Doggyman, I’ve been having a heck of a time finding people perspectives on this bike. Do you still have/ride it? How has it been working out for you?

Hi @Dewey, I have at least one potential explanation for the switch to Shimano motors. While researching cargo bikes, I reached out to Xtracycle and they had something interesting to say about switching to Shimano. My concern was that if a motor wears out, then what? Would I have to throw out a...

Yes, I’ve been reading through these forums a lot the last few weeks. You and @m@Robertson make a compelling case for building from scratch, or at least finding a used bike for upgrading and conversion. I’m not in a hurry so I’m going to take the time to research this and determine if I can do...

Thanks! I’ve seen your website (loved the 2fat, really nice!). I’m a mechanical engineer, though I lean more thermal and fluids, I can usually work out the machine side of things pretty well. The tricky part for me is the time and space to work on it. My property isn’t very big and we don’t have...

Nice looking bike! I’ve been looking at buying a fast commuter ebike with drop bars, but this makes me consider doing a conversion rather than buying a new ebike.

Nice looking bike! I’ve been torn between this and the Yuba Spicy Curry. The Pak Yak is at my LBS and has a pretty good sale price, but I’ve read that switching between accessories is much more challenging than on the Yuba, and thus, less versatile. Plus, it seems like you can’t have different...

This looks like someone attached Yuba’s Carry-on platform extender and rigged it to be installed on the running board attach points. The accessory is on Yuba’s website: https://yubabikes.com/cargobikestore/carry-on-spicy-curry/

Nice looking bike! I saw a used Jorg & Olif at the Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen a few months ago and was very tempted. But I discovered they went out of business a few years ago so I was concerned that I wouldn’t be able to get replacement parts since it was a used bike. Plus, it was an “opafiets”...

Did you end up adding the Bluejay’s to your shop? If so, what kind of customer feedback have you received on the bikes?

Thanks. It’s just too bad that the Momentum Voya E+ 1 is a Class 1 with only a 25 Nm motor. It’s perfect in every way EXCEPT the motor. If it was at least a 65 Nm Class 3 eBike, it would be perfect. The Diamondback Current is the closest I’ve seen to the Voya that is a Class 3. Diamondback...

Nice! I’m still a little unsure about the Diamondback or the Creo. I may go with a flat bar like the Gazelle Medeo and add extenders. Did you add racks or fenders? Any pictures you’d like to share? Utility is a concern of mine, but so is the ability to have a more aero position. It can get...

The Diamondback Current is now on sale. A pretty good deal too. $3000 (27% off - originally $4100)! It’s now back under consideration.

11/24 update: This bike is no longer available for sale.
