    My first Mid Drive

    The Cannondale branded comfort saddle is indeed comfortable but me being me I found a deal on a new Brooks B67 S dark tan softened. I am curious to see how it compares to my B67 regular which I have broken in to be very comfortable now. Three digit code 2C3 translates to March 2023...

    My first Mid Drive

    eBay bike shop seat post arrived and I attempted service but the bushings were completely worn out and deformed. Even with the grub screws removed the pins could not be hammered out. The seat had significant side to side movement when mounted and looking at the spring and internal spacers I...

    So now that I removed the front basket and tote from the Radwagon 5 I took it for a spin. Much more enjoyable and I can say the Radwagon 5 blows the handlebars off the Cargowagon. Even on PAS 4 it is a rocket by comparison to Turbo on the Neo. With the hub motor it just takes off and flies. I...

    My first Mid Drive

    The weather being so nice I went out for another grocery run this time to test the two 24 liter bottle cases 55 lb load plus a few other grocery items. All fit nicely in the hinged lid tote. Bike rode fine, perhaps slightly quicker turning. Tried to get more power out and managed 329 watts this...

    My first Mid Drive

    So today after another grocery run with some expertise now I have some more thoughts. It really seems like I am riding a bicycle I switched the display to show my cadence and the wattage. Mostly around 60-64 and under 100 watts mostly under 50 watts. I did see 250 watts at 110 cadence briefly...

    My son had me remove the pedals, chain. shifter, derailleur, cables and install foot pegs on the Aipas M1 Pro I gave him. He is a throttle only guy now lol. I rode my new Bosch cargo line mid drive to the store today and can't say I did not like it.

    Got it installed last night and made a grocery run this morning. No issues whatsoever with the load. Much more of of a workout and a lot of gear changes but I can't say I didn't like it.

    Sure a few short rides is not enough to overcome the mid drive learning curve after riding hub drives for months. But... I will continue to ride the cargowagon Neo mid drive bike and make a grocery run this week. Still for my street riding all the shifting seems like unnecessary wear and tear...
