Cargo Bikes

They come in al sorts of sizes, maybe a home repair shop is a better option? (They are not so expensive here) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Faithfull-BATH-Plasterers-Bath-4ft/dp/B001DZVHO4/ref=pb_allspark_dp_sims_pao_desktop_session_based_d_sccl_4_2/262-7141251-2577259?pd_rd_w=oAgAY&content-id=amzn1.sym.3d2941c4-8dbd-4559-a2da-3450ec26a618&pf_rd_p=3d2941c4-8dbd-4559-a2da-3450ec26a618&pf_rd_r=16MNT0P172CDQBWF2HDD&pd_rd_wg=o1oIx&pd_rd_r=020a9beb-7a99-41b0-9898-f5eb50fccfd6&pd_rd_i=B001DZVHO4&psc=1

Ah never mind, I had a search myself. Not paying £93 for a plastic tub. I'll make one from wood. Thanks for the tip though.

Just go and rob big plastic eurocrate from outside a supermarket? They won't miss it

If you can get your hands on a tea crate they have a nice lid for the odd bag to sit on top off and fit perfectly with the folding seat up.

Expensive new but can be found second hand fairly cheap.

For our Bullitts we got one of these in the 90L variety.

It needed a little modification to get it to sit flat on the cross bars of the bed, the bottom of the tub is slightly too wide and fouls the mounting posts on the insides of the bed rails. We heated the tub with a heat gun and used a piece of old frame tubing to put a dimple into the tub to clear the mounting posts, Pics probably help explain this a little better

1kWh and 110Nm torque is not bad for £3k! High centre of gravity in the load space though and I'd want beefier brakes.

Anyone know much about those Ananda middrives? oh wow and dual batt 1000wh

guys, i think there is an abandoned decathlon cargo bike next to my place....are they really crap?? why would someone abandone one....looks in decent shape even!!

Stolen and stripped? All jokes aside i have seen them without batteries for 300$ on german classifieds. I know someone with one and they like it

Probably is just abandoned....it has a few disconnected cables but other than that it's fine, air in the tires and all...no lock in sight....I am gonna leave it be for now, it has been a few days only

My theory on this is its like computers, something goes wrong they take it to the shop and get a crazy repair quote and give up. I bought my long tail super cheap this way after theft damage.

I'm looking for this. EXCEPT I need one for the Bullitt, not for a quick release skewer hub.
Does anyone know if such a thing exists? Cannot locate on the internet.

I was looking at something similar (cheaper) and I was wondering about just cold setting the width of the yoke and running the QR through the TA.

You're in Lausanne right? Could just be someone from the countryside who doesn't lock their bike. But you could always lock the bike with a note saying 'if it's yours, let me know and i'll unlock it'

Looks like gvfm to me, wonder what the load capacity will be though, rear end doesn't look all that beefy!

The mrs dropped the controller unit (Bosch Intuvia) and knocked one of the button pairs off. They don’t seem to clip on. Perhaps a dab of superglue?

Zero feedback. Definitely knicked.

hmm looked at in detail; not mine

Is there a thread for bike/baby trailers? Just brought a Thule Chariot and wanted to know if anyone had any experience with this?

Trailers are OK for pulling stuff but I would NEVER put a child in one. The risk of some motorist driving straight over it is much too high. I pull full size carla cargo trailers for work and drivers have driven in to the back of them plenty of times. Not worth it no matter how many flappy flags and lights you put on it.
