Wasn’t planning on immediately getting a front rack, but while I was getting accustomed to the rear-heavy ebike it reared like a balky horse while being walked on a downslope, and a counterweight shot to the top of the priority list. The Minoura rack appeared on a bike kitchen’s eBay for cheaper than Amazon, and the gloriously ‘90s colored panniers at another. Now it handles much more like the folding bike I rode before, just stiffer and heavier. My lifting capacity is right around forty pounds and I can lift (and pull back down!) that front end but lifting the entire bike is a trial.

at least the Sedona decals and the Nashbar accents are similar shades of purple
