    Pannier Rain Cover Tip

    Heck yeah! If Tern ever updates the cargo holds, maybe they could add a built in rain fly in a little zipper pocket somewhere. Great to see a working solution in the wild. Your Quick Haul looks great set up like that. Is that a touring/bikepacking rig?

    Urban Arrow Cargo L in the US?

    I wonder if the rear frame is the same across all models. Could it be possible to replace the front?

    New Urban Arrow FamilyNext Cargo Bike

    Surprise! We got the Urban Arrow FamilyNext in the US, and it only took about six months. The Pro model is going for 8999, and the original Family still seems available as well at 7999. I own a GSD and never got much time riding a front-loader until recently. I have been impressed by how fun...

    New Yuba Models Coming - Mini Boda Boda and Boda Boda

    Good for the Yuba dealers to have some more mid size options. I'm not sure if I'm in love with the overall design change though, I will miss their old swooping tubes. The new style seems more generic. The ride is the real test though, people let us know if you get your hands on one!

    Hi from Rhode Island, USA!

    Yes, just started with them this season. I'm sure you're familiar with the shop, there are not many Tern/UA/R&M dealers in our small state!

    Checking Out Surly's Skid Loader

    It's a cool bike. I love steel bikes and my wife and I both ride Surlys. Their take is unique and worth a look imo, especially if you want to customize your bike with nice parts for a different feel or a really unique look, without having to compromise the quality of your ebike system. I was...

    Ebike brands that are exclusively designed with Bosch (North America)

    I can think of a handful... Tern, R&M, Gazelle/UA, I think also Benno and Surly, presently? Yuba have an interesting mix between Bosch and Shimano, and not that I don't recommend Shimano, I really prefer Bosch interface and responsiveness so far... I know a lot of brands spec Bosch but maybe...

    Introducing new folks to the idea of cargo bikes?

    @CyclingScoop h/t! Are you still thinking about cargobikes? There are a LOT of new ones hitting the road this season, with brand new owners, perfect time to drop some knowledge...

    Hi from Rhode Island, USA!

    Good morning from beside the Seekonk River in Providence, RI! This little champ has enabled hundreds of trips-not-by-car in its four years in service, taking all the abuse a family of three in a four season climate, with no garage, could throw at it! Most of the time, it's just enough car for...

    Tern GSD vs Yuba Spicy Curry

    V3 spicy is a solid bike, also a very different rider fit than the GSD. Try both, especially if you're sharing the bike with another rider. I've had both but I won't tell you where were settled, because fit is super personal. You have to feel it for yourself. If one really hits your sweet spot...

    Troxus?

    I have ridden them a bunch, specifically the Trax LT, Lynx Plus, and Lynx Cargo. Thought they held up next to similar price brands, as ebikes, though accessories were a little thin. Feel free to AMA.

    Trek?

    I took a test ride on both last season over at the local zombie Trek shop. I already had my gsd for comparison and was just curious. The fetch 4 felt gigantic and overbalanced to me. Especially now that I've ridden a UA for comparison a couple of times. The fetch 2 on the other hand felt like a...

    Communication Devices

    I'm really curious about this too. We mount our phones on our bikes when we're riding, but having a call open during the ride is impractical, for obvious reasons. I wish our JBL Bluetooth speakers could be used as a short range comm - maybe there's an app for that? I'd love to know if you...

    Intros

    Hello from East Providence, Rhode Island! We've had our GSD S00 LX 1000wh since 2021, as well as a Yuba Spicy Curry Bosch (2019-2021) and an Xtracycle Edgerunner (2018-2019). Our son is about to turn 14 😱 so we're thinking about downsizing the vehicle and expanding the fleet to two lighter...
