My first Mid Drive

Disconnect the cable to set the high and low limits first. Shift to high gear and attach the cable with just the slightest tension but almost slack.

Thanks and where do you set the hanger position screw>

I am just back from the ride. The main idea is you want maximal engagement of the chain but no contact of the jockey wheel, so a small gap.

First addition Meachow mirrors

How about a cupholder?

I once had a green bottle on a bike like this.

Removed running boards, 3.5 lbs less weight and easier access for maintenance.

Low gear very close to tire

I had a trike yesterday where you had to remove the rack and fenders to adjust the rear brakes. I get it. People who do not work on things should not use CAD to design them. Marketing teams make scooters that cannot be maintained and are sold internet only.

Curious so I'm gonna ask. What is the max, or average, weight you carry? I found a Cargowagon Neo locally but I can't exactly (but going to try) put my wife on the back for a test ride. I know my Xpedition handles the weight of a passenger just fine, and on the few times she'e ridden on the RadRunner it has done fine as well. I see those huge boxes you've installed and know your not just hauling popcorn or pillows, but maybe you are? So how does the Cargowagon Neo handle weight? I'm fully aware I'll have to give up the "T" word but for a better quality ebike I'm kinda willing to do it.

We have a warehouse on the corner and I guess a client didn't pay so the warehouse put bunch of boxes of new HempVana pillows on the curb with a big free sign. All you saw was a bunch of people carrying HenpVana pillows all over my neighborhood! It was funny and weird!

The Cannondale Cargowagen Neo is a high-capacity electric cargo bike with a total maximum weight limit of 440 lbs including the rider. It features a robust rear rack rated for up to 175 lbs. but it is much smaller. Sitting on the back feels cramped unless your wife is petite. The Radwagon 5 handles weight very well I expect better than the Neo but I have yet to mount the tote and test the cargowagon neo for load yet. Tote is arriving today so should get a grocery run this week. I will try a case of 24 liters of water first. The Radwagon 5 handled 2 of them 55 pounds like it was nothing.

Got it installed last night and made a grocery run this morning. No issues whatsoever with the load. Much more of of a workout and a lot of gear changes but I can't say I didn't like it.

Those are very good tires. They will last about eight years and maybe without one flat.

I reached out to TranzX and they are sending me the missing barrel nuts, one fixed and one adjustable. Great customer support from them.

Check out my reviews on Maps. This time last year I had 82.

Funny I thought the Cargowagen was blue when I ordered the tote but turns out it is a light green so I ordered a green tote....

Along with some different mounting hardware.
