    No, I couldn't help you on that question.

    I ordered the Cycle Analyst today. Tora will install it when it arrives on the 14th of December. I'm looking forward to a more precise measurement of battery consumption. Also, if you don't already have a light system for your bikes, Magnus Innovation makes a good headlight and some great tail...

    Well, I don't have much mechanical aptitude, but why don't you run some of this by Tora? He could probably tell you how reasonable the mods are going to be. He's pretty good about responding to e-mails: [email protected]. A couple of times, I sent an e-mail at 3 am, and he responded within...

    Hi Garden Gear, I'm impressed by your trailer. You're going to enjoy your new ODK when it arrives. I shift gears just as if I were using a manual stick in a car, so I'm constantly changing the gear ratio up and down, depending on the terrain. I have a lot of hills in my neighborhood. For me, I...

    The photos were too much. My favorite is the food delivery trailer.

    Yes! Now that's a cargo bike. You're ready to go deer hunting, if you ask me. It looks like your tub has twice the capacity of mine. Plus, you have a convenient rain top for those shopping days when the weather just won't cooperate. The whole train looks so long. I wonder if anyone has ever...

    I'll keep this info in mind. Of course, I can't imagine trying to get one of those moped tires off my bike's rim, as stiff as they are. Do you think the additional stiffness causes problems with tire changes? Would you need specialized tools to mount and dismount a moped tire?

    I don't know the real reason for the restriction, but my guess is that the manufacturer wants to avoid any potential for "high-speed" wobble that can occur if you're pulling a trailer without a stabilizer bar. Maybe they believe the trailer could start oscillating back and forth until it's...

    FOLLOW-UP TO EARLIER POST! My side baskets arrived within two days of ordering them from Amazon. Actually it was a third-party named Treasure Gifts that sent them. I ordered two, but they arrived with only enough hardware to mount one basket. I e-mailed Treasure Gifts requesting they send me...

    Very classy hauler. You can carry so much groceries in that thing, it's not even funny.

    I like the rear box, Mr. Rabbit. It looks very solid, and it also looks like the top box I have on my motorcycle. I like the fact that you have a water bottle already. That's another item I'm going to have to get soon. By the way, I contacted Tora about the CA. He said that when I'm ready to...

    YEAH! That's great, Mr. Rabbit. I want to get the Cycle Analyst as well. Tora doesn't have any in stock; he only has the cables for it, so I'm going to have to order it from a dealer. Is your dealer contact info this: 809 N ROSA PARKS WAY PORTLAND? And if so, could I ask how much they charge...

    I've been using my caisson for grocery shopping up until tonight when I thought I could fit everything in the front basket and in a large travel bag on the rear rack. Everything fit, but it was a little tight for some of the food. I smashed a perfectly good loaf of bread into the shape of a tub...

    Now that you mention it, I think one of these afternoons when I'm really motivated, I'm going to pull the battery off the bike, first to find out how much it weighs, and second to find out just how rapidly I can remove and replace it. Because if I can pop it on and off the bike reasonably...

    Now that I’ve had the ODK for a full three days, I’ve started thinking about some security issues, and hope that Juiced Riders will consider them for possible inclusion on future versions of e-bikes they produce. The ODK is such an expensive investment that I would rarely park it in one of...

    Hmmmm! Blue Lightning, eh? I'll keep that in mind.

    Yeah, Tora said he just got the new child seats and hadn't had the time to post them. And I will be posting a few updates on my experience riding the bike. My girlfriend, who had her mind set on a different style of e-bike, is now kind of interested in mine. She thinks it looks cute. That's not...

    Yes, Ravi, it's the Satiator. It's really light-weight. And Mr. Rabbit, I hadn't really thought about Christening it, but now that you brought it up, I'll give it some thought. By the way, for anyone else who might be wondering about how tall the seat post is, I've got a 39" inseam. I adjusted...

    I have the ODK now! I met Tora and his crew down at the warehouse this afternoon. Those guys have been working non-stop since the last shipment arrived. My bike was waiting for me when I got there. I bought one of those M1-A1 Abrams front baskets that are so popular with the ODK. Tora put it on...
