Halp!
I have started reading this thread from the beginning, but I have a big issue. I would love a proper bakfiets style cargo bike. Basic is best.
Uses are:
Getting materials for the bags
Getting pallet wood/bricks/materials for the garden
Possibly/probably riding to local craft/street markets to sell my wares (the bags)
Possibly/maybe giving the petite gf a lift on occasion
Mum got this last year. She tried it once or twice and can’t ride it. Languishing under cover ever since, I have the option to sell it or use it. New lead acid cells will cost me £75-120 total, otherwise it’s working. No gears since it’s made for the throttle electric drive.
Maybe it’s the seat, the bars, the basket...maybe just because it’s a trike... but I’m really struggling to actually ride the thing. I feel embarrassed!
Has anyone gladly used a trike for cargo?
