As usual, best CONS assessment of any ebike channels out there. The wobble is a shocker.. so dangerous. They should not even sell this bike. I would be horrified if I bought this bike for my daughter. Great work
Thank you! We want to bring you all the info about these bikes, not just the pro's! I was also surprised by the wobble or speed shimmy that was present. The rider can avoid damage or injury by carefully loading the bike and not riding with no hands on the bars. But its an issue that should be fixed. This speed shimmy is going to be an issue on many larger cargo e-bikes. I will say that the bike performed well when it was properly balanced, and the wobble was not present when riding with both hands on the bars regularly. I enjoyed the bike throughout testing, but the speed shimmy was present, and it was not good!
The rack seemed to fit well, after adjustment and the "fix" we applied to stop the fender from rubbing. The issues I had focused more on the fender than the rack, which seemed robust and sturdy. I enjoyed it with the large basket, as it accommodated a large backpack, even without straps!

A+ review of a very cool bike. I am so curious how well that rack would fit on my fat bike. I am not against making it fit.
