yes it's a nice bike but cargo bikes with a longer rear rack are even better. i was going to get a cargo bike but got this one instead because of the slightly smaller size, but after doing an extension of the rear rack to mount the delivery box, i realised that it would have been a better idea to get the cargo bike in the first place lol
Hi my friend where did you purchase the mounting bracket , the adaptor and the battery if i may ask ? I wanted to buy an extra battery to run in parallel with something like a datex2 , i don't want to disconnect and connect the second one because of battery sag (i don't know if you're running them parallel or one at the time , but you'll be better off in parallel, the range improvement alone ...). Also I wanted to mount under the passenger seat you think the larger capacity one's would fit there ? Thanks in advance
i bought the mounting bracket on ebay, the adaptor on the big game bikes website and battery from custom-built ebikes website. but don't forget that (as far as i know) to be able to connect 2 batteries in parallel, they have to be the same size and same voltage. with my current e-bike display i can't have two batteries in parallel so at the moment i keep disconnecting and connecting cables whenever i want to switch batteries but i will come up with a solution in the near future. and on the radrunner plus it is possible to install a battery under the passenger seat and i did it on my radrunner plus but there was an issue.. basically, once installed, it was very difficult to remove it so i was charging the batteries without removing them. but now i park my bike somewhere else and i have to charge my batteries at home so i no longer keep any battery under the passenger seat. also, i think that it is better to keep my extra battery in the front top box instead of the rear rack because that way there is less weight for the rear wheel. my bike feels very balanced the way i have built it and i can carry heavy groceries whenever i need to without having to worry about the extra load on the rear wheel
@@shekhar1203 hi and thanks for the quick reply, no they don't need to when you are using a datex2, just check the video that Gareth has on the big game bikes channel about the datex2 . It's a far superior solution since battery sag is a real thing, the stress you put on a single battery is larger than divided by two, so in effect you aren't doubling the range z it's actually even more after they are in series . Could you point me to the custom batteries site you used? Once again thanks for the info and keep up the good work mate .
@@RorschachPT the maker of my current bike display has told me that it doesn't support dual battery systems. it might be more efficient and safer to use that datex2, but for now i'll keep it as it is. i will definitely do my research before deciding wich way to connect my batteries in parallel and who knows, might actually end up buying the datex2 lol. and i bought my batteries on this website: custombuilt-ebikes.co.uk/product/48v-22-5ah-downtube-ebike-battery-samsung-cells/
Honestly that bike is incredible. I'm usually minimalist with my bikes but your bike can do it all.

That poor swan.
i think that at the end he was ok and made it to the river because i saw some swans in the river the other day
