Wow. I'm sorry. I thought LA was bad...I don't own a firearm either.

Los Angeles, specifically Hollywood, CA 1/10-being generous here. We have NO protected bike/mobility lanes in Hollywood. We have a couple random bike boxes, a few painted lanes either next to car parking without a door zone buffer so basically "door lanes" or next to sidewalk where 1/2 of the...

I finally got to see and sit on a Tern Short(Quick) Haul IRL! I couldn't test ride it as it was already purchased and waiting for new owner's pickup. And got to see it next to a Yuba Boda Boda-which confirmed while it's a beautiful bike, it's way too long/large for me- I do love the integrated...

Thank you! I'll look into the stainless steel rope slings! I plan to add a cafe lock with attached chain and utilize a D lock but the stainless sling sounds great! Do you really wear a kevlar vest?

Yes, I love ALL those bikes posted on the thread! I prefer a low/step thru over mid step frame for easy access on/off and managing while bike is loaded. Most cycle/donky trucks have mid step frames. I get absolutely breathless over the Soma's Yasujiro and Pickup Artist frames even though they...

The Omafiet I had was made in the NL by Azor, now called Amsterdam Bicycle Co.- 8 speed IGH, roller brakes, dynamo hub powered lights, elegant/plush ride but not nimble/quick turning enough to ride in the city. I like the Boda Boda (recommended by PedalUma too) but the total length is too long...

Hi Indianajo, I'm sorry but I'm don't understand the frame you are describing- stretch frame cargo bike(?)- I'm not a builder or experienced in riding beyond short distance commuting/errands. Is it like a long tail cargo bike? I had a classic Dutch bike but the relaxed steering was not safe...

Got it! Thank you for explaining it!

Yes, I saw a page where Tern did not recommend electrifying the Short Haul...BUT the specs between the Quick Haul and Short Haul are very similar. Quick Haul is frame is EFBE tested for 150 kg, steel fork is tested for 150kg compared to the Short Haul frame is EFBE tested for 140kg, steel fork...

What does the shift detector do? I understand with mid drives (and regular pedal bikes) it's good practice to pause pedaling when shifting to lessen wear/tear on chain and derailleur- this is how I ride my bike. I thought the Tongsheng is not as aggressive on the drive system since its a torque...

Hi PedalUma! Thank you for your suggestion of a Boda Boda but I am shying away from full size dutch/cruiser style bikes b/c I have a tiny landing space to contend with to get a bike inside my front door and unfortunately, ride in a city with very rude/aggressive car drivers and no bike...

Got my first ebike experience riding the NYC Citi ebikes around Central Park- it was a blast and now I must have one! I'm short (5'2"), 28.5" inseam about 115 lbs. Looking to build a compact cargo bike for city (car free/lite) living/hauling/commuting, the more "diy" it looks- the better since...

Love these compact utility ecargo bikes! Battery placement on the Yasujiro seems more challenging...
