@HayiWena ๐Ÿ˜€ aw, shucks, that old thing? ๐Ÿ˜† I got the regen braking motor for a 2nd motor on the #umbrellaBike, but 2/3 passengers were a "very No" on riding in the front bucket/canopy, so I scrounged this #bikeFriday up off of craigslist and gave it that #GrinMAC so it wouldn't burn through rims [โ€ฆ]

A woman outside the hardware store was asking about the #UmbrellaBike's canopy before she realized it was a cargo bike. I think somebody needs to make a pop-out canopy for a fixed front rack of a city bike / cycletruck. Given enough fenders, mudflap, and faring over a bit of cargo space, you [โ€ฆ]

Sometimes you just need to plug everything together and see it spin.

Cargo bike on its kickstand on two small folding step stools.  The back wheel is on the ground and the front is up.

Such a hassle, you need special tools and a lift to work on anything under the hood of #EVs

I had to spend dozens of dollars to get this thing in the air.

It amuses me that people say they can't bike because of weather but there are always more drivers on sunny days. #umbrellaBike #leaveTheCarAtHome #cargoBikes #climateAction #eBikes

Supercargo with longboard spanning between the front head tube and steer tube.  A "war on cars" coffee mug in the background.

Aside: I've never tried setting this longboard in there since I made the cardboard seatback, but it seems like it would be good for a bit of weight, like some xtracycle bags or a telescoping ladder, wood chipper. A doubled-over strap is below the fold [โ€ฆ]
