  • I've wanted a minivelo for a while and chance has come for n+1 justification. It'll be for riding with the family so ideally I'll be fitting basket/racks for utility but the big question is this: Can they fit a child seat?

    Also, for anyone who's ridden both, should I just get a folder instead?

  • I’ve got a Hamax on my RSW-16, so it ought to fit?

  • A folder will have more utility, a mini velo will be more fun.

  • I had the same idea. I thought having the weight lower and smaller wheels was a good idea. At first I used a rack designed for 20" wheels. This sat the little one way too close to riders pedals. So switched to a normal rack and that was manageable bit still very tight/not ideal. I guess it's why all these long-tail kiddo carriers stretch out a bit.
    Personally, I wouldn't want the twisting forces on a folder, but I know some on here have done it.

  • Would a Bobbin Metric fit the bill? 20 inch wheels so what see as a mini vello

    If you are going shopper, buy the one that not proprietary BB threads so no Raleigh's.
