Always carry a spare.
 
I met the amiable owner of these bikes today. 25yo dude who likes mountain biking.

I've seen this done a couple times over the years, but never had a close look at one before.
They guy built it himself, using an off-the-shelf tail rack (for a top box), and the top of a RockyMounts rack.

Nice. I like it. But where is the battery? Unless it's carried in a backpack there isn't enough juice onboard to get to the end of a rural driveway. It also badly needs some custom fenders (with mudguards).

I think it needs a chopper fork, with the longest front center in cycling history.

Battery = ?, but you must have the longest rural driveway in the World.


50miles, on lowest level assist, flatish terrain, EU 20kph on a 4 year old battery in a 31-ish pound bike. One's mileage may vary based on how much pedaling the cyclist prefers. Added another battery (not in pic) to essentially double the distance.

Uh, did I meet you and your wife at Kenmore’s Log Boom Park yesterday? I had the green Bianchi and we chatted about knee replacements.

Sorry, no, X2. Wife in Colorado, yesterday I was in Hog Heaven.
Did you ride Bob's vintage ride in North Bend on Sat 7/27?

edit: I need replacements, but knees not on the list.

Ewww ... to each their own, I guess, but a sidecar seems like a terrible thing to do to a bike. I couldn't ...
