I have purchased a Gleam Escape Cargo Bike a couple years back. The company has since gone bankrupt. I am trying to locate a servicing/repair manual/guide but can't seem to find any online.

Would anyone of the community be able to provide such a guide as PDF? That would be amazing!

Thanks in advance!

I have a tern GSD that I’ll be insuring and have been in the weeds of policies from companies like Velosurance. I recently discovered that Progressive also offers e-bike insurance - separate from home and renters policies. Has anyone had experience with a progressive e-bike plan? They group it under their motorcycle plans but it is definitely e-bike specific. The coverage options are great, annual premium would be 1/2-3/4 of Velosurance, and based on my review and a phone call there don’t appear to be restrictions on battery type, bike use purpose, theft location, etc. Any firsthand experience out there?

I have had my Benno for going on 5 years (and 7600 miles). I want to know if other cargo redditors have suggestion on how to cargo even better.

Are there must-have Benno accessories? Or modifications?

I just bought and mounted a Bafang 500W 36v rear hub to replace a 350W 36v Yose power hub that just died. They both use a 9 pin plug and the wheel turns fine.

The issue is that the speed value is about 4 times the real speed so the motor shuts vert early and doesn't help.

Does someone has a solution to correct it?

Thanks a lot for your help

Regards,

Mickael

Anyone found a rain cover solution for the Cargowagen Neo?

I know Cannondale don't produce one (I've written to them and got a very generic response). Has anyone had any joy modifying one from another manufacturer like Tern? My two girls are starting to complain about the cold, dark and wet British weather!

Hello I'm interested in buying a cargo bike but I want something that I can easily use both for carrying a passenger and carrying stuff but everywhere I look it seems I have to settle for one or the other
I was looking at both the Aventon Abound and the Radrunner Plus but it really feels like I have to choose between being able to give someone a ride or carrying my stuff
I just want to be able to occasionally give my girlfriend a ride to my place, but I also need to haul film equipment with me once in a while.

What would your recommendations be? MY budget is around 2k$

Are there any options to replace this 20" fork with one capable of mounting disc brakes?

Hello,

I'm a proud owner of a Yuba Kombi for 2 years and I've ridden around 8,000 kilometers in two years. Bike is super conformtable even with two kids on the rear.
I've installed a BBS02 750W on day one as my commute is steep.

I have changed the chain multiple times and the cassette twice (3 in total) and I was wondering if it was possible to install an internal gear hub on that bike (with a tensioner obviously). I have to ride on a really sandy road and my chain is a total mess with the sand going everywhere (my clothes too when the weather is rainy).

My Yuba has a 9 speeds cassette but to be honest, I only use speeds 6 to 9, and more often 8 and 9 (11-13-15-17 gears) along a 42 tooth (link to gear calculator).

Is there a way to install an IGH on that bike ? If yes, which IGH would you recommend ? A Nexus 3, a Archer 3V or something else ?

Thanks for your time.

I’m looking for a rec for a stem bag for my Packster. I want to be able to put a water bottle (…. maybe a coffee mug?), phone, keys, and sunglasses where they’re easy to grab. Any suggestions?

Just picked up the Decathlon f999 long John. Running it with a maxi Cosi ask me anything

I have to kids that are 7 years old. I'm thinking about biuying a cargo ebike to bring tehm to school, but there is a part of the road that has 15% of slope of 400 meters. Do you think I will be able to to this trait? In case you think I culd manage it, which model would you suggest me?

I'm a writer working on a fantasy novel in which the MC introduces bicycles to a world that's never seen them before. I've done a bit of research on OG bicycles and the evolution of cycling, but I'm having a hard time finding anything on the use of bicycles for hauling freight.

I know there are things like pubcycles and pedicabs but I'm looking at replacing teams of horses with teams of riders yoked to a cart or wagon. I'm not even sure if the idea would work. Any help at all would be appreciated.

Latest addition to the reflective on the xtracycle

I’m currently considering getting a longtail cargo bike and am trying to choose between two models: the Kettler Alu-Rad Flair LN and the Monty Cargo Bike Electric V4 Rover. I’d love to hear from anyone who has experience with either of these bikes or who might have insights into their performance, build quality, and overall practicality for daily use.

Would love to see everyone's Yuba setups. Bonus points if it's a Mundo but doesn't have to be :)
It's coming up to 2 years since I sold my car and got our Mundo (still a 1-car family) and it's been excellent.

So excited for this bike! Wife loves it and has claimed it for her own. Everything on here is so well thought out by Tern! Accessories are expensive AF! Still kind of customizing it but happy with it so far. Next upgrades will be a dropper post and Wolftooth fat paw lock on grips. Need a handlebar or grip for the rear seat though

A non-local bike shop is selling a demo Specialized Globe HaulLT for around $2300 shipped, about the same price as the new Radwagon 5 I’ve been looking at. I'm waiting to hear back about the current mileage and any remaining warranty coverage.

I’ve read about a few electrical issues on the Haul, but if the Haul does include a manufacturer's warranty, is there any reason to still choose the Radwagon 5 over the Haul?

I know the accessories on the Haul are quite a bit more $$$, not to mention the cost of a replacement battery.

After years of research, waiting and pondering, I bought an Xtracycle Hopper. Feel free to ask me anything.

Thirty miles isn't much but it has been a fun ride so far. Easy to setup a fit for me as a six footer and my 5'4" partner likes hers' as well. Took my high school senior as a passenger the other day it was a stable ride.

Pedal assist is smooth on startup and no lugging or lagging.

I had come close to the Aventon Abound, which is a similar price range and a solid bike. Had a good test ride not long ago and it was top of my list 

Then the Hopper was announced and that was it. I had ridden an analog Xtracycle, with three kids on the back, for years and it was amazing. Bought it used, sold it for a profit. Regretted letting it go.

If you don't know the company, take a look. They pioneered broad acceptance of cargo bikes in the US and have a solid reputation.

And Costco is selling the Hopper! https://costco.prioritybicycles.com/

EDIT: important to note that the aluminum frame has a five year warranty. Not lifetime.
EDIT 2: it's solid for the price.

Bought a back basket for my bike and it feels great. I can buy a week's worth of groceries at once and the pedals come with the basket are not useful to me cause don't have kids

What accessories you bought for bike
