@1600wattScott, how does the balance & weight feel on your wife's recumbent with the motor up front? Nice setup on both bikes, btw

Thanks. My wife had a Greenspeed with a 500w Das-kit, rack mount battery before. When I planned her new Catrike Dumont my goal was high torque and low center of gravity. I mounted the Bafang 750w motor on the bottom of the boom and the 14ah battery way down on the frame just behind the seat. She says it's perfect, handles like a Lamborghini with Cadillac smooth ride. I have built quite a few trikes this way for customers and it's a real hit.

Today's adventure led me up above the Columbia River plain and to an excellent view through the clear cut of Mt. Hood.
A really cool old school network of trails that are the closest to my current residence are behind where I am taking the picture and luckily most survived the latest logging operation.
I apologize for the crooked display and light. I just made a template and secured the material today, UHMW, to make a proper mount for it. I have to say that the rubber band method only came undone once!

Cube Touring Hybrid EXC 500 -
I picked up this bike on eBay, new with a few paint scratches on the chain rail, no miles on the odometer, new in the box. I have put 123 miles on it in the past 11 days. I live near the top of a steep 600 foot hill The 11 speed Shimano XT with the Bosch Cx is perfect.
When they said you will ride more often and further than expected, they were spot on the mark. My car is feeling lonely and neglected and I am getting healthier!

2018 Specialized Vado 6 (Large size in upper photo, Mrs levity's Medium in the lower)
no longer stock, some mod's:
removed fenders and rear rack because we're mostly fair weather riders
built 27.5 wheels with DT Swiss hubs and rims
Schwalbe G-One 2.0 tires
100mm travel Manitou Markhor fork
44t chainring for lower gearing
shorter cranks (170mm on Large, 165mm on Medium) due to lower BB
Answer 20/20 swept carbon handlebars
dropper seatpost for fun in the corners
about 7 lbs lighter than OEM (4 lb. from wheels & tires alone!)
much more nimble handling with the smaller/lighter wheels & tires

Forget ABUS, you've probably got the best bike protection there in the front basket.

Nothing shot out in the wild just yet... Looking forward to getting a shot with my local scenery behind...
I'm only about 60 miles in on this since picking it up 18 days ago; eager for spring -- but we're forecast for 5-10" snow tonight -- happy vernal equinox, indeed.

Supernova headlight. Spurcycle bell. Brooks B67 saddle & GP1 grips.
Velo Orange Campeur rack. Abus Bordo Centium lock. Mirrycle mirror.

I just have a generic water bottle holder. I saw a post from this forum on mounting them on the rack. I was going to mount one on each side but I transport my bike lying in the back of a pickup bed so the water bottle holder would have been in the way.

C&O Canal, Dam #4
10/17
Dam 4 was built to create a slack water on the Patomac River to allow canal boats to travel through a narrow mountain pass. In addition the building in the distance is a hydro electric generator, generating electricity since 1913.
