Don, the distance is 4¾ inches or 12 cm., as best as I can measure. I have Ergon grips installed with a mirror on the left and handlebar cap on the right, so I cannot really see the ends of the 710mm Jones H-bar. Note that the whatbars.com chart shows the handlebars on a square grid. The bold...

@Nvreloader, thank you for the link to the very useful whatbars.com interactive chart. If you compare the Jones Loop Bar (aluminum, 710mm) to the Velo Orange Granola, they have similar sweep backs. The Jones is 45 degrees while the Velo Orange is about 55 degrees, as you noted. The Jones does...

Those are two very similar bikes! Personally, I would go with the newer and more powerful 85 Nm CX motor. I feel the 65Nm Bosch motors are weak (such as in my girlfriend's Tern HSD), whereas I feel more confident with the 85Nm Bosch Cargo Line motor in my Yuba Spicy Curry AT. I don't find the...

My daughter has a Radwagon that she uses to ferry her 2-year-old to day care. She likes it a lot. Fortunately, she does not have to deal with elevators nor with security. She lives in Seattle. Rad makes good, entry-level bikes.

VERY nice! Congrats!

@John Ni, have you taken a look at the Bike Friday Ever-E-Day Electric Cargo Bike? It has a compact 43 to 47-inch variable wheelbase so it would probably fit in an elevator and you could bring it inside for security. However, by the time you add everything you need to carry passengers you are...

I have back issues too. I modified both my 2016 Haibike full-suspension mountain bike and my 2022 all-terrain Yuba cargo bike so that I could ride upright. I added stem risers and stem spacers to raise the handlebars and I replaced the handlebars with Jones H-Bars with 2.5-inch rise. The Jones...

Like many people, my first ebike was a budget model, a Magnum Ui5 for under US$2,000. Despite its flaws, I got hooked. Within six months I sold it and upgraded to a Haibike AllMtn full-suspension ebike for $4,000 (with a discount). Six years later, I am keeping the Haibike and buying a Yuba...

Congratulations! Enjoy your Cero One!

I unlocked my Yamaha PW motor a few months after acquiring my 2016 Haibike AllMtn. After 15,000 miles and six years I had the motor overhauled because I like to do preventive maintenance. All the gears and bearings were fine, and they were all replaced. I have never experienced the battery...

My experience is only with a six-year-old Yamaha PW motor (in my Haibike AllMtn). It's a strong motor, stronger than comparable Bosch motors and still competitive with new 85Nm Bosch motors such as the Bosch Cargo Line (in my Yuba Spicy Curry AT). At 15,000 miles I had all the bearings and gears...

My girldriend's HSD has a belt drive with Enviolo automatic shifting. She likes it a lot. The only minus is the weak motor.

According to Court's review of the 2018 Tern GSD, it came with the Bosch Performance Line Cruise motor with only 63Nm of torque, a weak motor not suitable to cargo bike duties, IMHO.

Does it come with the Bosch Cargo Line (85Nm torque) motor, like the current GSD's, or does it use the older Bosch Performance Line (65Nm torque) motor? The newer Cargo Line motor is much stronger and will enable you to climb steep hills with a full load or a passenger. I have one in my Yuba...

I use the Ergon GP1 regular, cork, and Brooks leather grips. The cork version absorbs vibrations slightly more than the regular version, and the Brooks leather one simply feels and looks more luxurious. In both my ebikes (a Haibike full suspension mountain bike and a Yuba Spicy Curry all terrain...

One of the bullets points for the Peak Design Out Front Bike Mount says, "Can be installed in reverse to be used in conjunction with an on-board cycling computer."

I use the (somewhat expensive) Peak Design Out Front Bike Mount ($70). It requires the Peak Design Everyday Case ($40) which you can use with other accessories, including their nifty smartphone tripod. The mounting system is very strong, a combination magnetic and mechanical latch. The Out Front...

I am well aware of the risks and that I could lose my entire investment.

I bought $1,000 in Aptera stock last year. In addition to being a plug-in EV, the Aptera can also be charged by solar panels on its—er—fuselage. Aptera claims that if you only drive 40 miles per day, and you are able to leave it out charging in the sun all day (such as in a company parking lot)...

Congratulations! The Tern GSD is a good choice. Small correction: according to Tern, the GSD comes with the 85Nm Bosch Cargo Line motor, not the Performance Line. The Cargo Line is biased towards low-end (slow cadence) torque as opposed to speed. Here is a Bosch video that explains the difference.
