That Yuba looks so good. perhaps i need to get over the battery thing. They do flatten the down tube a bit i think

DROOL! that is beautiful! but a pretty penny...

In my quest to get the perfect bike to: remain car-less; deliver food for Cavair; look good at age 52; store bike on side of house; ride through most of Portland, OR's 4 seasons; have fun on roads; put bike in friends car, bus, train or other and be mobile in remote locations; navigate dirt (not...

Agree: I think we are moving into the realm of purpose built frames will house batteries and mid-drive motors efficiently and effectively. At this point it is the single thing preventing my purchase. Somehow i feel that companies that attempt to adapt to the specific needs of an e-bike (in...

wow: great point. hmmm this makes me think a bit

DAMN STRAIGHT!

I would go for the Juiced U-500 if they still had them! Just cause i can imaging the battery being covered by big lush cargo bags.

BUMP: we share the same dream!

great points there is always the GSD which is perfect (in theory) but i wanna have fun when I'm not hauling!

this is helpful: as my wife is Japanese i find myself wanting to support assembled in Japan stuff as much as i like to support made in The states or Canada (or Mexico) kinds of things. THANKS

my dream is to get a great commuter with a big ass hauling rack system. i have a welder friend too. is this a pipe dream? would the balance be all off if i got some rails that could support a long bag and a platform for a lg pizza sized thermal bag? your useful thoughts please! thank you in...

wow this is a great thread. super informative. thank you all for sane informative posts based on real experience that will help immensely for future purchase. love this forum so much!
