Who has $9k to spend on #cargoBikes and wants to try this? With the #GrinMAC motor and #RegenBraking (in the rear wheel), front suspension, cable steering, should be quite the ride (caveat really steep hills vs 130lb bike with hub motor in 26in wheel, you need to keep some speed up and probably need dual batteries, but you can check on the ebikes.ca motor/trip simulator vs your actual hills.)
@enobacon Looks like a nice first design, but I’d need a mid-drive motor, belt drive, suspension seat post, an upright (Dutch) riding position, and a lockable, covered cargo box. (My next #CargoBike will probably be a Riese & Muller since that’s the closest I can find in the US.)
@bikescape I have this motor in a 20in wheel with the slow winding on my tandem, and a bbs02 mid drive on a different bike. Ideally I would do both together for the big hills and big loads but would rather the regen hub on bakfiets be in the front and slightly smaller like the EZ (needs a clutchless planetary mod.) Both together on my edgerunner longtail is feasible off-the-shelf though, keeping the weight on the rear wheel.
