Cargo Bikes

Probably a bit niche. Is anyone in the market for an Urban Arrow XL that's kitted out to carry 5 bikes? Fairly low mileage, Rohloff hub and Magura brakes. Will get some photos and more details/spec if any interest at all!

thanks lolo and psg1ben - still considering how i want to proceed with this project! thought I had a suitable hub but turns out I dont, so prob kicking into the long grass for a bit.

Sorry to be THAT GUY, but my Omnium Mini-max is for sale over here.

Does anyone know if you can fit a Hamax seat that attaches to the seat tube onto a Tern GSD? Ta.

No. Just get the hamax that clips onto the GSD rack, easyfit type I believe is the right term.

Rad wagon 4 ? Yes 18" wheels are a bit weird, but all fat tyre cargo bikes you will struggle with getting a replacement tyre at any shop as an 'on the shelf item'.

Mcyle yes pretty good, however scroll back to one of my previous reviews of them. They ship almost all their bikes with the wrong brake adapters F+R so expect to be fixing that on your own and them to have 'never heard of the issue'. Mycle + Estarli are basically the same bike BTW. One or both are sort of assembled in the UK, but not built here, they are reasonable quality, they are not a fancy UK made product by hipsters sipping flatties that is just somehow super cheap compared to everyone else like their marketing leads folk to believe. This is not saying don't buy one, I think for the money they are about right, so long as the brakes are fitted correctly.....

Trek Fetch long tail discounted by a lot already, guessed that would happen 5 pages back. A mid drive bosch > any hub motor and for only £700 difference, thats extremely good.

£5k is not a lot these days of 2023. In the world of cars, 2020 golf rrp for cheapest lowest spec was ~ £18k, now its £27k and you get wind up windows in the back, focus you ask? Another £450 over that but at least it has electric windows all around.

Thanks very much, appreciate the time to write it.

I thought not, thanks for confirming. We're doing a week long hire to see if it will work for us in place of a second car. Hopefully I can borrow a rack mount seat from a neighbour during the hire period.

Any hint of the Specialized Globe Haul coming to the UK?

on the off chance is anyone offloading an omnium mini frameset?

Any ideas of a ballpark figure for an Urban Arrow XL with Rohloff, Magura brakes, 2x500w Bosch batteries and no front rack? About 2.5k miles on the clock and would be freshly serviced.

Which Gen bosch? And has it ever been replaced

Great question. I'm not entirely sure which gen but the bike is about 2 years old. It's not the version with the really tiny chainring. Will check it out when I'm back at work tomorrow. And no, never been replaced.

£2700-£3500
