Cargo Bikes

Looking awesome :)

This one here seems to fit the bill? £50 tho, ffs...

Doesn't need to be that expensive, but it should be 3x the price of the one currently on there.

The KMC Z1eHX Wide EPT looks appropriate to me, but I didn't look for longer than a minute. It's a question of whether the wide format fits up front where your chainring guard is. Probably will.

EDIT: I just noticed your bike is not a mid drive e-bike. You have much less to worry about. Still looks like it needs to be fixed up to be made pleasurable to ride but my whole concern about it being an e-bike with tons of torque is invalid.

Nice. Hope you test them out before loading it up with something valuable like a child or a case of scotch.

It is a mid drive. It's a Bafang BBSHD.

Link pls

Looking great! How does the front wheel drive compare to the mid drive?

I think the mid drive is better overall, feels more like riding a normal bike and being able to have full use of the motor in every gear is beneficial. The front wheel motor works just fine though, can feel a bit odd having power coming from the front especially on a long John..

Sorry for the confusion.

Can confirm adding fairy lights makes people nicer. More smiles from pedestrians than usual this morning. One driver that cut me up (at 5mph approaching some lights) even leant out his window and shouted "sorry, mate!"

Or maybe the red jacket and massive white beard means people now think I am actually Santa.

Very happy with my M99 front light upgrade.

from top to bottom, high beam, normal, old light (standard supernova).

My battery pack broke this weekend. I AM SAD.

Last Friday, someone stole the e-assist controller of my Douze, which has an MPFDRIVE assistance.

It happened on Whitfield Street, near Goodge Street Station during standard working hours.

A bit pointless since MPFDRIVE where never imported in the UK but I am sure the person has their reasons for stealing just that and not my bike lights.

Now liaising with the EU importer who is based in Vienna to see if I can even get a replacement.

The bike still works, just no e-assist.

Easy to see why! What a terrible old light.

Lol. It's also for sale.

I think @Chalfie was interested a few pages back. Mechanic at flying dutchman said it would be fine for Bafang though you might need to change the connectors.

Pretty sure it's this: https://www.bikester.co.uk/monkeylink-monkeylight-mini-supernova-front-light-M473740.html?vgid=G901701&_cid=21_1_-1_9_1263_901701__pla&campaign_detail=smart_shopping&gclid=CjwKCAjwqauVBhBGEiwAXOepkSxpIZD38XLPuP8zZQDlWgeGEEoc53fkdRM6mG0CuBhSryDekq4PHhoCSK0QAvD_BwE

M99

ahha I really want one.

I'm interested but we never sorted a price - i think ?
(or how to wire it up to my battery - i'm dense)

can't help on the second point. price how does £70 sound? it's £151 on that link above

it's great. spenny but great.

sorry to hear that. thieves are like flies to shit on cargo bikes. we had our battery stolen recently

Have you got a picture of the connectors? If they'll go on the quick release/what looks like simple plugs then yeah I'm 95% there.

here you go

Hmm, that's not going to work immediately and I know my time limits and inclination and all the other stuff. I'll, regrettably, pass.

No worries, I know the feeling

Thanks. I mean, I wish I was a person with a garage and a set of tools and the ability and time to use them. But. I'm not.
