Hi all, I've got a Thule Raceway PRO 3 that has a weight limit of 100lbs. It has a per-bike weight limit of 35 lbs. I would like to bring my Gazelle CityZen T10 Speed on a trip with me, and it would be the only bike on the rack. It weighs about 48lbs with the battery in, and around 41-42lbs...

Really crazy how weirdly misunderstood they are. It’s hard to imagine why it’s such a threat...

Looks like not bad weather for riding! Is that a photography bag in front for a dslr?

Yeah, it’s great! Kids love it, especially having the windows on the side to look out from.

Got it - makes sense. So we're left paying the several-hundred-dollar premium. That's frustrating, but so it goes...

Thanks Ravi. Dang, doubly bad news! :) If I were to check the battery instead of carrying it on with me, would that be kosher?

I've got a bike with a 500wh powertube battery (a Gazelle Cityzen T10 Speed). The new announcement from Bosch that they'll finally have higher capacity batteries is exciting, but will the new 625wh powertube battery actually FIT in my bike? Also, it seems that it's way more expensive to buy...

For the archives: spoke to the shop where I bought the bike (Propel) and they said no problem at all towing the trailer with both kids and even a full cargo area. Anywhere below 200-250ish lbs should be fine as long as it’s in the proper gear and I keep a decent cadence.

Around 165-170 or so.

I want to get a trailer for going on adventures in the city with my kids. Specifically the Honey Bee Burley trailer. I have a Gazelle T10 HMD speed, with the performance mid drive Bosch motor. Am I going to burn out the motor or reduce the life of it if I do a bunch of rides on reasonably hilly...

Thanks for all the advice!

Epilogue: my wife loved the electric bike too. I put our kid's seat on the Gazelle and it made zipping my son around the neighborhood so easy and pleasant that we decided to get another so we could both ride them together. We're selling our old bikes (a road bike and a mountain bike) and going...

Yeah, that's what they said - the mileage on the bikes would mean they'd have to sell it as used when the time came. And to be clear, none of the shops who sell the GoCycle would let me ride it very long. After riding the trek, I knew the gazelle would make it without any problems...

I test rode a few Riese & Muller bikes as well -- I forget the names of the models. Two full-sized (one mid-step, one step-thru) and one smaller/compact one. They were really really nice too, but were substantially more $ ($6k+ vs the $4k I paid for the Gazelle) and also made bigger "statements"...

Final update on this thread: I ended up going full-sized and purchased the Gazelle CitiZen H10 HMB Speed. The range anxiety really is what did it in the end -- I don't want to have to charge at work, and without having any way to test it on my commute beforehand I was left with something heavier...

Specifically, I'm curious about the range and how perfect conditions need to be to actually get the claimed 40 miles. I'll have a ~20 mi commute round trip, with the return leg at the end being a pretty steep hill that's about ~1/2 mile-3/4 mile long. I'm concerned that the GX won't get me the...

Curious for feedback if anybody's test rode, purchased, or taken it for a longer spin than around the block at the bike shop. I'm considering it.

Here's a pic after conquering the hill :D

Couple updates in case anybody cares... I asked the bike shop if I could test out the GoCycle on a ride to my place and they wouldn't let me -- they said 10mi was "way too far" for a test ride, and that it'd put too much wear and tear on the bike. That surprised me and was disappointing, but he...

Ah! The Piaggio. I looked up Pellagio and could only find scooters. Thanks for the link, found it. Not a bad option, but ends up in a crowded field (e.g. VanMoof Electrified S2 has similar, perhaps better, security features) and others provide equally good or better range or "bang for the buck"...
