The last upgrades for my Aipas

[usclassic]

I use my old POS ebike to get groceries, and when I load 70 pounds of cargo in the box, my ebike wobbles all over the road

Even my new ebike had a wobble (when I rode no-hands) with a 15 pound battery on the rear rack, so I had to mount the second battery to my top tube.

@usclassic
Have you considered a trailer?

It travels better and it has a quick release so you only use it for grocery runs.
Then you're not toting around totes when you aren't using them.
(Even big gusts of wind can throw your bike around with mounted boxes)

I'm seeing a pretty nice trailer frame right here ??,..
Just needs wheels and a tow bar.

I bought a trailer for the grocery bike but I don't use it often.
Using the box is easier, and it's a fun ride home.

I had a trailer but didn't like the way it bounced around empty so I gave it to my son. With the heavier stuff in the side totes now which are ahead of the rear axle virtually all of the wobble is gone now and the bike feels lighter when loaded. Taking of that 7 pound rear basket really helped that.

And you now take up 3 spaces at the bike rack.

It's not like anybody else actually rides their bike to the grocery store.

There are no bike racks anywhere I ride.

No other bike riders either ...wish there were.
