after asking for some help picking out a bike in this thread i came to the conclusion there probably wasn't an off the shelf solution that would fit my needs and my budget, so i decided to build one. i'm making this thread to keep track of the build progress and ask for help along the way. here...

sorry if this is no longer pertinent, but batteries get grabbed all the time in amsterdam. a lot of batteries just reuse the same locks on their cases and you can order the keys off ebay/aliexpress, so people will definitely nab them. haven't seen anyone break the mounting plate to try to get to...

i feel like i'm the opposite, triggers always confuse me but the twist just makes sense. the downside being it's easier to accidentally shift when your hand is gripping the shifter at all times, especially if you are operating a throttle with the same hand. i will have to put a throttle on the...

i think it's a nexus 7 speed, i'll confirm when the shop drops it off to me but that's what azor puts stock in their bikes. not the toughest but all the shops here can rebuild them for cheap and it ought to work with the bbs02 well enough for starters.

bought this azor from a bike shop today. i will probably make another thread in the custom builds section so i can get help with any issues that pop up along the way. thanks y'all!

this is exactly it. running a motor at well below it's full capacity while hauling heavy loads vs redlining a smaller motor day after day. it's definitely overkill but the price difference is negligible, and so is the added weight.

all good thoughts lol. i will definitely get the passenger setup ahead of the axle, maybe even put a little back rest to make it hard to scoot too far backwards. i put a bid in on that azor bike i sent the picture of but the seller didn't list what hub was in there. i will be careful with it but...

thank you very much for the tip on this Dewey, i was a bit worried about what to do for a chain guard. the setup in your profile pic looks super clean, that's almost exactly how i want to lay this bike out in terms of the drivetrain. i've only ever used drum brakes on rentals like you mentioned...

i came across this style of bike which is readily available here called a tweelingfiets. it's simply a bike for carrying multiple children but seems to be more popular here than mid or even long tail cargo bikes. the only thing i don't like is that they usually have 26" or 28" wheels which would...

this is what i'm looking at doing at the moment, probably with a 500-750W motor however. my main hang up is i really hate derailleurs, every bike i've had since moving here has been internally geared and i'm in love with it, but i'm sure i could cope. not that i am aware of no.

i actually saw theirs in another post on here! yea the frame design seems to be a super common sort of diy build, which is why i wanted to take a crack at it as it's seemed to work out well for other people. there's an instructables somewhere from some guy in Haiti who made one out of a kids...

this is really nice. the Yuba lineup is a bit smaller in Europe and sadly there isn't a version of this available. i did notice that their non electric models are almost in the affordable range, and i think i could convert one for cheaper than a new tern or a spicy curry.

wish that was me :( the bike you posted definitely looks like the style i'd be looking for. maybe a bit shorter since it'll only ever be 1 passenger on it. wish it was easier to find frames like that around here but the Dutch seem to much prefer the front load cargos over hard tails.

yea i don't live in Amsterdam anymore but i would like to be able to run over there on occasion and you're definitely right about a new ebike sticking out. they are not super uncommon there but if i was to get a tern or something i'd definitely be forking out the money for insurance. people ride...

hi, hoping to get some input as i've been going back and forth on what the right move is here. i'm looking for a bike i can use to get around on the day to day, and occasionally use to give my girlfriend a ride around. they have a disability which makes it difficult for them to cycle regularly...

i've been using EBR for probably 5+ years now but never had an account lol. i recently moved from Austin, Texas to the Netherlands and found myself knee deep in a few bike related projects so i figured it was time to get active on the forum. currently i'm working on a couple projects with some...
