We had the headlight replaced and relocated shortly after getting the HSD. Any *good* Bosch certified shop should be able to do this. Our local cargo bike shop made easy work of it and it wasn't too expensive to do so. We had it mounted below the rack, which you'll see in the two photos. Sorry I...

If it's not a financial burden for you, I'd go for it. The Quick Haul is an excellent bike for starting out in the e-cargo world, but for sure the GSD is a higher quality tier with more cargo carrying capabilities. The second hand market is always in need of used, quality e-cargo bikes, so I'm...

We don't have kids and the only reason I occasionally use the passenger seat is for my wife to ride in the Urban Arrow when we go places together on one bike. Often times, I find the seat to be obstructive when really loading up the box with cargo. I mean, I won't say its a real problem, but...

You can power the X4 while using it with an external source, although I have not done this yet.

I can't really attest to it yet since this was the only test I've done.

Check RAM Mounts website. They have tons of options for mounting items of all sorts. Maybe you'll find at attachment that gives you more of what you want. Another angle I want to examine is utilizing the holes at the front of the Arrow, which the Raincover poles go through, but to run some sort...

I recently picked up an Insta360 X4 to try out for content creation on my cargo bike. I was very frustrated when trying to find out information about it online as every reviewer was some sort of extreme sports guru. I just wanted to see what the camera could do for a regular person on a regular...

Hey @laney, our household is childless. Both my wife and I use e-cargo bikes for 80%+ of our transportation needs for localized living. My wife has a Tern HSD and appreciates the smaller size of the bike. I have been using an Urban Arrow exclusively as our car replacement since 2021. I have to...

My addiction to using a bike for transportation was born through small errands that traditionally, people use a car for. Sure, I've always had a great time with those big hauls, the kind that put a smile on your face and your nose in the air as you pedal the load to wherever you need to go, but...

Years ago, I submitted a story to Tern for them to use in their publications on the story and progression of my wife, who learned how to ride a bike as an adult and gained her skills and confidence on Tern Bicycle products. Nowadays, she's a confident, cargo hauling, Tern HSD rider, but back...

For a few years now, I have been using the HandlesStash drink holder on my bike. Honestly, it's the best one I've come across and the company is a small one run out of Colorado. After years of promoting them on my own, the owner reached out to give me a coupon code to offer up to people who...

When I sold my first UA and got the second UA, I opted for dual batteries, a choice I will always make going forward, or to put it better, always have a minimum of 1k battery capacity.

My vision has always been for Urban Arrow and R&M Load to have a cargo bike baby. I want the comfort of an UA box/seat with the utility and full suspension of R&M. Just my personal wishlist though.

Not as much as I used to. Tatiana almost always chooses to ride her Tern rather than be a passenger anymore, plus she doesn't like how rigid the ride is in the UA. Constantly bracing herself for bumps and such. The Load4 is actually longer than the UA as far as I know, although the cargo box may...

My eyes are heavily on the Load4 75 to potentially replace my Urban Arrow. I desperately need to go lay actual eyes on one and take it out for a spin.
