@ascentale@trouble#BikeNite A8: Most recent new thing on the bike was replacing one of the runner boards with a board with a slot cut out so I can easily tow another bike.
Got to use it for real the first time yesterday returning a borrowed bicycle to a friend. Towed it about 8miles, was super easy/solid.
Here it is w/ my spouse's bike strapped on as a test:
@lkanies@marcprecipice@ascentale@trouble seems a bit overpowered though, as bubble-making goes, I clicked through expecting to see something much much less serious like the device would be a clown holding a pinwheel of bubble wands, mine is a duck and it quacks while dispensing bubbles, I never quite got the mounting and remote activation worked out on the xtracycle though, someone should make one with a 7/8-ish clamp and wire to a remote button. #BikeNite
@ascentale@trouble#BikeNite A8. Rear cargo rack I found at a garage sale for $2. AWESOMENESS! Now I'm thinking fenders and panniers for full utility bike geekery! WOOOHOO!
@ascentale@trouble#BikeNite A8. I bought a new motor kit for my Cetma Cargo! It arrives on Monday. I gave up troubleshooting the old one and am just replacing the whole thing. At least now I’ll have some spare parts :)
@Andres4NY@ascentale@trouble#BikeNite I went with a new Tongsheng kit from Electrify Bike (I prefer the torque sensor over the Bagang cadence sensor for hauling cargo). The cost was more than ordering all the parts from AliExpress but I’ll get support from a US company that is active in developing the open source software and actually responds to email questions. (1/2)
@ascentale@trouble A8: depends on how you count it! Either the spoke reflectors or if you include the cargo carrier I’ve been modding with new parts, the latest version of the front wheel mounting system. Less noise now, which I think we can all agree is good ^_^
Since then I've been playing with adding a third wheel and also trying to distribute weight a little better, where I was making a custom wheel out of a training wheel:
