    Ebike?

    Anyone packing their Large format gear on an ebike? If so, I would love to hear about it.

    Working on it

    Bought this

    Now have 3 ebikes, 2 use the same battery, which is a real good idea

    I need a fleet, I also have 3 bicycles and an adult trike

    I am very fond of anything on 2 or 3 wheels

    It looks like this sector is poised to impress with some awesome upgrades. But WTF do I know, I just started looking. :-O I gave my college-bound son my mountain bike when he went off to school 3 years ago. It was stolen within a month :-\ I've been sans bike since, although I really hated that bike, it never fit me very well.

    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

    Bikes Now! by TIN CAN COLLEGE, on Flickr

    Shot just now in my living room studio, caught it very busy

    Front is a Rad Runner, it will tow the Radical Trailer which is in the mess, with a large plastic box. Had it for years. Then the Rad Cargo just assembled and modified before usage. Then 2018 Giant fancy bike, used 3 years

    By the backdrop is adult trike, it may get a battery conversion this winter

    The 4 bikes were made by Giant Taiwan, the biggest bike factory in the world

    There are now big shortages and price increases

    I wonder about 2022

    I just started looking at ebikes and one of the first was the Rad bikes. They seem to have some very good features.

    So good they are out of stock for months now

    I got my 2 a month ago

    They also may be upgrading models soon

    However since they are actually Giant bikes, very well made

    and it seems the electrical parts are fairly standard now, so I can fix nearly anything

    and I can fit a second battery into the frame of the cargo bike from the cheaper smaller one

    I have a very large friend, he converted his 1950's Cushman Scooter with sidecar to eBike from eBay raw parts

    Wild Bill was a Radio Shack guy in Vietnam, in a Tin Box. He restores Army trucks, I supply some parts.

    Hidden spare battery holder on Radwagon 4 !?!? - Rad Power Bikes + accessories.
