well the latest was an E- long-tail cargo bike
found a deal on an xtracycle free radical kit .
Which fitted that frame but unfortunantly that frame doesnt fit the wife.....
so i aquired a kona sutra from the depths of a mates garage and a box from ikea for the front for errands.
Frame fits the wife and me quite well despite being much smaller - high handlebars and just change the seat height.
the all important coffee cup holder ..... (doubles as a bottle holder)
Then i fitted a bafang motor - with a 17.9 ah 48v battery - which i know your all going "YOU LAZY sub standard"
how ever this bike is about arriving where i want to go not sweaty (if i want to do that right now i take the van - which is being sold) Its about bringing the shopping home without it taking 3hrs. Its about wanting to be able to go places in regular clothes and shoes without feeling the need to get into bike clothes. Its about nipping into the village for a pint on a saturday night with the wife on the back without suffering all the way home (its all mega uphill from the village) its about taking the (not yet on the cards) kids to the park without suffering like a dog and needing a rest when i get there :D
In short its bloody great fun - its limited to 15.5 mph as per the law but that is fast enough to be going when you can do it regardless of gradient or weight. so far ive had 100lb load on the back and rode into work in my shirt and trousers without any sweat patches forming
Im sold on what i built it for :D
- quite fancy building my own - but might fab up the cargo frame bit myself. Need to find my own workshop space first, and some space to store the bike
