Gary Fisher Transport
 

Has anyone seen this new utility bike from Gary Fisher? I have wanted a utility bike and since I work at a Trek shop this has caught my eye. I know it's load capacity is rated at only half of the BD but I don't see how I would end up with 400 lbs of stuff anyway so this should suffice. I am awaiting a reply on the approximate weight of the bike without the 350 watt electric assist motor as I don't see any use for that.

I see, .. its the 'transport plus' .. if its got the rear hub motor..

There was some discussion of this bike already on the forum. http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=654945
Plenty of opinions, but thought this thread might be helpful to you.

Now ol' Gary's jumped on the longtail cargo bike craze? I see no reason to give up my BD yet!
