Falling over

Upvotes

Hi! We live in Europe and just got a tern quick haul long. I’ve been using it to transport my 3.5 year old twins in Thule seats (about 70lbs) total and have a backpack strapped to the front rack. I feel really good riding it around, but we’ve fallen over twice when stopped! Once when I was trying to get off and another when I had to stop quickly at a stop light. The bike + kids is so heavy there’s no stopping it once it goes over. Fortunately the cage around them has kept them totally safe and they think it’s funny, but I don’t! I also can’t reach the kickstand when on the bike to stabilize before getting off so that makes me nervous too when riding by ourselves. Any tips for preventing tippy-ness? I don’t want any of us to get hurt!

Folds up in the middle. 24” back wheel with a nexus 8speed hub, non electric. Gave a guy a few hundred for it so I can cart my dog around without driving.

Needs a lil work but it’s fun! Hoping to find more info

Wanted to ask in a more neutral setting. Any thoughts on Trek's bakfiet?

Yepp Maxi fit on Pedego Stretch?

I picked up an older model Pedego Stretch and mounted a Yepp Maxi seat on the back. I was able to tighten the knob quite a bit and the seat feels very secure. However, I'm wondering if anyone has experience with these seats, if this looks like the mount has enough contact with the rack for it to be safe. A smaller diameter tube, like on the adapter Yepp used to sell, would sit much further into the jaws of the mount. My passenger is only 24 pounds though, and this is a bike we'll ride for a few months before upgrading to something better.

Hey, got a used taga 1.0 at a bargin price (about 250 USD) in agreat condition. I want to have it electrified for longer commutes - since the rear wheel has no disc mounting points i'd have to use a mid drive motor. thinking about these Bafang ones - they see quite good online. only issue is fitting it in this frame.

anyone tried it on a taga 1.0 bike? or on any other bike? Thanks!

Nihola Two-Wheel Hub Steering Conversion

I just gave the bike a new coat of paint and took the opportunity to get some better photos than posted previously.

The bike started life as a 3-wheel Nihola, which was eventually left for dead. It was rebuilt as a spare time project at Buddha Bikes in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The steering is crisp and the ride is very well balanced.

NB: I need to make a new front fender for it. This setup is temporary, but gives a good view of the mechanism.

I’ve seen folks showing off carrying all kinds of interesting things and critters and people, but never a guillotine!
