    Wow, that's a high end model, sweet! Looks like you are still rocking Readyloads. I should have filled a freezer with these too.

    iTrust no bike until I check all critical bolts such as wheels, handlebars, etc and always check tire pressure EVERY usage

    in the 70's many friends bought fast motorcycles.... then learned to ride....

    I would insist I check things after delivery and before riding

    I found front wheels loose, spark plugs too

    Chains passing me as I test rode

    I also look for sabotage everytime a bike is unattended

    pee outside

    I have many dead friends....too early

    Are the frames Cr-Mo steel, Aluminum? I have a RadRover, it's a bit like a Hummer. I worry about brake failure. Between me and the bike it's over 300 lbs. I start declines at 5 mph. The cargo version of Riese and Muller looks so amazing. The electric vehicle of the future not Tesla SUVs. I love your setup

    That's cool. I bet my China, not Taiwan, made bike weights 70 lbs. I have a sweet old Cannondale 3.0 aluminum mountain bike, I wouldn't consider electrification, but an Ebike with same low weight characteristics would be cool. What you're riding is probably as good as it gets.

    I will be buying USA stock of Chinese eBike parts

    Such as a wheel with motor to make my adult tricycle eTrike

    Oodles of parts still available on eBay

    I suggest heavy duty bikes and trikes, adding disc brakes

    I have lost contact with one of oldest friends

    Vietnam Combat Vet, he was a radio operator in one of those Tin Cans, my Vet brother has similar truck can now

    He converted a Cushman to eTrike as he could barely walk
