    New year, new cargo ebike

    Back to my original question: What's your budget? That usually helps to filter for better suggestions. Keep in mind than front loader cargo bikes usually start at $2.5K to $3k; an electric version can be upwards of $5k-$8k.. that's more than my hybrid car cost.

    New year, new cargo ebike

    Actually, NYC has plenty of potholes & unrepaired roads.. even coble stone roads. I've carried 50-80lb. weight with my compact cargo ebike with suspension fork (non-air sprung), just dial up the pre-load and handling is fine even under heavy braking. Is this your Yuba Boda Boda build...

    New year, new cargo ebike

    I ride compact cargo ebikes in NYC metro quite a bit, so towing a trailer is not an option that I would consider since the it would reduce my ability to filter among cars and present a larger footprint on the road. Personally, I feel the compact cargo ebikes under $2K suits my purpose just...

    Can't find Battery

    Easy enough to inquire with the AliEx seller if they could accommodate your sizing specifics. Batteries & ebike shipments from China has been quicker in my experience. 4-8 weeks tops, even with ebike purchases I made with special request like tires/wheels/hub motor, etc.

    Hello! and I think I want to build my very first ebike(compact cargo)!

    I've had my Fiido T1 since MAR 2022, still going strong after 2.4k mi. on my recalled model T1, not even a flat tire, though tires are due for replacement. Fat tire may feel cumbersome when compared to smaller 20" wheels, but once you are carrying significant weight with your cargo bike, the fat...

    We all know short run carbon fiber frames fail too often

    I still have my Kestrel 500 Sci from 1994 or so.. Still the most comfortable TT bike that I own & ride infrequently. Do I have concerns that it might crack & fail? Not really, I don't train hard or race anymore, just casually ride on my own for pleasure. Not putting the frame into much stress...

    Tern S10 or Qualisports Dolphin?

    I have had a Qualisport Dolphin since 2018. It has never given me any issues. Yes, hub drive maybe a little heavy, but I'm not lifting it very often. I'm able to leave it outside while I run my errands with minimal lock, take the seatpost battery with me if needed, I don't have to worry about...

    Yamaha Y-01W AWD & Y-00Z MTB

    What exactly have I denied? Whatever gravel bikes are being defined, doesn't mean they are used as they defined. Is it hard for a gravel cyclist not to ride a gravel bike? how hard is it? can you specify? Do you honestly need data to know that most SUVs are not driven off-road? I never said...
