Cargo Bikes

It wasn't for me ;-)

If you find something, I’d be very interested to hear about it. Local chandlery/sailmaker wanted £400 for a custom job, and I briefly considered stuffing my kids into Bagaboo’s Samurai.

I’m going to try my hand at something home made, but I don’t have a huge amount of confidence.

Yeah, living in the 'burbs has it's perks. If I had to carry them further, I'd probably have to put more thought into it.

Curious about these.. seems nearly identical to a Yuli but a chunk cheaper. Is it an Aliexpress knock off re-badged? Spec seems reasonable.

Interesting, and definitely not expensive if it rides well and doesn't fall apart. Muli is Steel though.
As to reasonable spec, wouldn't want a cargo without hub dynamo and the complete basic Shimano brakes struggle on my cargo.
Muli list price is under 3000€, you can sometimes find them for 2500.
Then you get 4 pot, dynamo, alfine, and a tried and tested design with support.

Yeah all good points. Any idea if you can fit a bafang on the non-electric Muli?

Had a Google. Yes, and looks fun:

Nice! Now my ambition is set…

What would be the going rate for an Omnium mini max WiFi..
Specifically, the first WiFi in the uk?😂
I bought it from Dom at velodomestique in Bournemouth a couple of years ago, when I was living on my narrowboat, and I wouldn’t leave my dogs alone on the boat, due to a spate of dog thefts, for the purpose of bait dogs.
It’s still in perfect condition, with the addition of narrower bars, little inboard bar ends, double Thomson stem and seat pin, and is currently fitted with conti X-kings, for muddy towpath duties, set up tubeless, although the original tyres would come with it.
I paid £2600 plus delivery for it, and think I have the receipt somewhere, but if not, I’m sure Dom would vouch for me, as he delivered it!
I really am out of touch with the prices of bikes, so it’s not a fishing post, I just don’t have a clue what to sell it for?
My partner and I are now living in a small cottage near Stansted airport (Henham) and I haven’t used the minimax for over a year, and it’s taking up valuable real estate…..I’m sure the boat was bigger!

Does anyone know the exact length of the Riese and Muller Multicharger2 Mixte from nose to tail?

Can answer that in 10 days.

Just pm'ed you! Potentially dibsing this if this is a for sale post.

I can vouch for stedlocks, and yes his dogs are just as awesome in real life

It's Blurple, what more do you need to know?

Thanks Dom….! It’s an awesome thing, but it’s not been used in a while, so I feel that I should pass it on. The dogs are still awesome, and prefer having a garden than a noisy diesel engine bay to run around in!😂

Hi Harry, I’ve replied 👍

I just bought this: https://www.wecycle.co.uk/accessories/packs-luggage/bergamont-kids-bench-for-cargoville-lj__33291

£100, pretty sure I'll be able to bodge it to fit.

excellent geeking

Does this help? Not a mixte but would think they're the same length.

Think my conclusion was 193cm to the end of rack. If I remember my laser next I can go really exact.

so it arrived. and for £100 it's a total rip off. but compared to £500 for the LvH seat it's a bargain. Cargo bike economics that

Very helpful thank you! It would fit in the on street locker.

The curved ones? If so I’m not so sure. It’s a far taller bike than its 20” wheeled siblings.
Where you based?
