😀🚲<a href="https://mapstodon.space/@mmdolbow" class="u-url mention">@mmdolbow</a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/@davepolaschek" class="u-url mention">@davepolaschek</a> <a href="https://jawns.club/@skyfaller" class="u-url mention">@skyfaller</a> something like the <a href="https://hilltopper.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://hilltopper.com</a> in a 700C wheel would cruise at 16-17mph, if you have a bike with suitable fork for that retrofit. That's a pretty limited setup with the small battery won't do 28 or haul much weight uphill without help, but might get you there without sweat if you cruise at 15mph (I'm running a 20in on my <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/supercargo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#supercargo</a> -- works well enough that I just keep riding it instead of trying to finish that build how I imagined with 2 motors)

😀🚲Having had an <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/edgeRunner" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#edgeRunner</a> longtail and *then* a bakfiets aka "box bike" <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/superCargo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#superCargo</a> has been a slightly backwards journey from what's probably typical for bike parents, but I doubt we would have ridden the infants around in the suburbs and the longtail is way more agile, squeezing between stopped car traffic and bumping up a curb is maybe doable without putting a foot down (if it's 6in or less for me), vs being a matter of leverage and quite an ordeal with the box bike.

😀🚲I think I've heard at least a hundred kids react to their first time seeing the <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/supercargo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#supercargo</a>, or two people on a bike, their jaws just hanging open, it never gets old.

😀🚲<a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/CanYouSeeMtHoodFromBurlingameFMpickupSpot4" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CanYouSeeMtHoodFromBurlingameFMpickupSpot4</a> at about 2pm today? Yes! <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/pdxBikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#pdxBikes</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/leaveTheTruckAtHome" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#leaveTheTruckAtHome</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/eBikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#eBikes</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/cargoBikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#cargoBikes</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/superCargo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#superCargo</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/hillTopper" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#hillTopper</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BikeTooter</a>

😀🚲my <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/UmbrellaBike" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#UmbrellaBike</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/SuperCargo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SuperCargo</a> is actually a <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/superMarche" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#superMarche</a>', spec sheet(s)

😀🚲The horn solo part of this is what I always feel like when riding my <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/superCargo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#superCargo</a> with both 3x8 trigger shifters mounted on the right handlebar. The <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/bikeFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#bikeFriday</a> tandem has 3x8 grip shifters, but it has a bigger hub motor with the throttle on the right side, and my 13yo stoker can't let me get it into the little ring, you have to let off and shift just at the right spot <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BikeTooter</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgCqz3l33kU" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgCqz3l33kU</a>

😀🚲All <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/cargoBikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#cargoBikes</a> should have this much mudflap <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/bikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#bikeTooter</a>, it might interfere with your steering arm, but this one has cables <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/superCargo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#superCargo</a>

😀🚲Riding the 2014 <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/xtracycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#xtracycle</a> bbs02 <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/edgerunner" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#edgerunner</a> more often lately, thinking maybe I should get a <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/GrinMAC" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#GrinMAC</a> motor for the rear of it, possibly a new bigger battery and update some parts. It's just such a dependable old truck but the rear is a little flexible when youngest+spouse are both on it. 11yo prefers the <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/supercargo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#supercargo</a> / <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/umbrellaBike" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#umbrellaBike</a> & 13yo is too heavy to not be pedaling so we end up on the <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/bikeFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#bikeFriday</a> tandem more. Crowded in the garage though <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/nPlus1Problems" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#nPlus1Problems</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BikeTooter</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/eBikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#eBikes</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/cargoBikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#cargoBikes</a>

😀🚲But what if I need to get a lot of groceries and it's raining?<a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/superCargo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#superCargo</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/carryShitOlympics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#carryShitOlympics</a>

😀🚲Caption contest for what these kids said as we zoomed by. I think it was "daddy, I want one!" 😂 <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/cargoBikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#cargoBikes</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/SuperCargo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SuperCargo</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/UmbrellaBike" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#UmbrellaBike</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/eBikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#eBikes</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/bhHwy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#bhHwy</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/CrashCorner" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CrashCorner</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/InvisibleBikeLane" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#InvisibleBikeLane</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/ODOTGTFOpdx" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ODOTGTFOpdx</a>

😀🚲Bikes just aren't a viable mode of transportation because it rains sometimes, and there are hills. <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/ev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ev</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/UmbrellaBike" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#UmbrellaBike</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/superCargo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#superCargo</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/cargoBikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#cargoBikes</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/eBike" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#eBike</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/fall" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#fall</a>

😀🚲Donated some books. It's a dry heat 😅💦<a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BikeTooter</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/pdxBikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#pdxBikes</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/carryShitOlympics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#carryShitOlympics</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/cargoBikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#cargoBikes</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/leaveTheCarAtHome" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#leaveTheCarAtHome</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/eBikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#eBikes</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/EV" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#EV</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/superCargo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#superCargo</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/hillTopper" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#hillTopper</a>

😀🚲<a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/30daysOfBiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#30daysOfBiking</a> today is carrying the kid over the hill to and from school with 50lb of percussion instruments, a common excuse for why biking is impractical. 350W front hub motor on the <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/supercargo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#supercargo</a> bakfiets (20in wheel) makes it doable but a lot of work whether you go fast (high motor eff) or slow (motor gives up and then it's even harder.) Zig-zags help, but as usual, drivers are the problem.

😀🚲20in hub-motor-specific suspension fork for yuba supercargo? I need this bike to have more power but also regenerative braking, and hold traction better on bumps (currently the motor skips/skids slightly on every bump and crack when climbing.) And it needs about 1000W braking power but 350W is enough assist / for tractionary reasons, I need to send any more power than that to the rear wheel & where it can shift gears. <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/CargoBike" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CargoBike</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/eBike" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#eBike</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/SuperCargo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SuperCargo</a>

😀🚲<a href="https://glammr.us/@rowmyboat" class="u-url mention">@rowmyboat</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/@ascentale" class="u-url mention">@ascentale</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/@MartyCormack" class="u-url mention">@MartyCormack</a> the bullitts are cute but even my <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/supercargo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#supercargo</a> is already near max capacity and the 10yo + 13yo won't sit together without bickering. I'm working on attaching a trailer bike for the second kid, but it lacks low-speed stability (I actually want the leaning trike to have a non leaning lever.)

😀🚲<a href="https://mstdn.social/@Iragersh" class="u-url mention">@Iragersh</a> looked like bundles of unfolded corrugated cardboard boxes maybe. I'm not saying the yuba couldn't have handled that. This post was mostly for the mountain, which I've already demonstrated fits nicely on it, in one of the other <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/superCargo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#superCargo</a> pictures... [edit: ah there it is, see: plenty of room for a mountain.]<a href="https://urbanists.social/@enobacon/109373470211485446" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://urbanists.social/@enobacon/109373470211485446</a>

😀🚲<a href="https://pdx.social/@ingalls" class="u-url mention">@ingalls</a> <a href="https://sfba.social/@ascentale" class="u-url mention">@ascentale</a> my <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/supercargo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#supercargo</a> has leveraged steering, so it's even a little more different than having the steerer in your hands directly. Other than that, the turning bit being farther ahead, means you need to think/balance/maneuver from there, generally just look farther ahead and ride like a regular bike. But, your passengers can now wiggle and english the steering far more than you can by leaning your weight from the back, so you have to steer much more, but there's a limit stop 😖

😀🚲"But what if I need to get groceries and it's raining?"🤷 ride a rain-specific bike. <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/WeekWithoutDriving" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WeekWithoutDriving</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BikeTooter</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/UmbrellaBike" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#UmbrellaBike</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/SuperCargo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SuperCargo</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/CargoBikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CargoBikes</a>
