@glightly I think it was similar a decade ago with two kids on an xtracycle edgerunner eBike in SW Portland, if people haven't seen it before, all of the stereotypes go out the window. Now on the #SuperCargo bakfiets, even with Clever Cycles and Splendid Cycles just 500ft down and across the river, it's still the first one many people have ever seen.

yuba boldly asking what if you made the longest bike and put the bottom bracket only 10.5in above the ground #bikeTooter #superCargo

The SW Ridge Dr hill south of Stanley Ct, 80-ish lb kid, #superCargo with 350W #HillTopper front hub motor. I think I was distracted talking about the motor and probably could have mashed the throttle more in the flat spot between these two lumps. #eBikes

@kevinschaper @graham_freeman 81in wheelbase, yeah I think they take advantage of the shorter wheel to lengthen the bike slightly. 102in overall #superCargo probably puts less weight on the front wheel, might be part of why they put a wide flat handlebar on it so you're leaning forward (and I've changed mine to be more upright but I can/do lean forward to keep the hub motor down)

@rbellinger not mine, a local on a ride last weekend, but I can confirm the utility of a small geared hub motor #hillTopper 20in wheel with the much heavier #superCargo + passenger (ideally I would want more power for steep hills but I can deal and it is light, top speed is probably higher with his kit that looks like a 48V battery, maybe field weakening involved)

the problem with pedal strike on this long-as-a-boat #superCargo is, after just about a year, the spindles are bent or something is making the bearings go unk-unk on every rotation >_< #BikeTooter

Is the #HillTopper motor and little "sprinter" battery enough for this #supercargo to climb Terwilliger after riding up Mt Tabor? Kinda? Not really, but I had a second inverter battery pack to charge it up a bit, shoulda plugged it in earlier but I did make it almost to the Chart House before it turned acoustic. #cargoBikes #pdxBikes

@ascentale @glightly A3 #BikeNite it's hard to have a favorite, but if it's raining, the #supercargo with rain canopy is quite the umbrella bike. It needs more motor, I don't get to ride it as much as I want yet.

Ride down #Terwilliger with us to Tryon Creek State Park #pdxBikes why would you drive? #cargoBikes #eBikes #bikeTooter #Hilltopper #SuperCargo #Portland #TrafficProtectedBikeLane

@hocus yuba #superCargo in this case, but a bakfiets with rain canopy is made by several brands e.g. Urban Arrow, Bullitt, R&M Load/Packster, Workcycles Cr8. Most of those can be bought with a motor or there are kits to adapt them if you can match one of the motor setups (or two, in my eventual plan) to the frame.

Finally got the #superCargo and @ShawneMartinez's #BullittX in the same place at the same time to compare. Conclusion: without his rear rack extension, they're the same length. The BullittX carries more of that in the floor, with more vertical front and back angles. Random dog's butt for scale. #CargoBikes #CargoPalooza #eBikes #TwoLessCars

Been running around in a #cargoBike with a #hilltopper 180Wh #eBike kit on it but not outside of the neighborhood much. 30 miles from Hillsdale (SW Portland) to Beaverton and back was too far with the 9yo on board. 🤔 have a 190Wh "generator" pack and could take a charger with me, should be able to get (.8*.8 eff) ~120Wh into it, especially if it can run up the 450ft hill while pulling 80W through the charge port(?) #eBikes #superCargo

favorite minute of today was this kid in a jogging stroller "woah, what's that?" at the #supercargo #eBike #CargoBike 😎 😆

As much fun as this #superCargo project is to ride, my passengers are saying that it is more comfortable on the back of the edgerunner (where your legs can soak up the bumps), but kid1 is bigger than mom now and mom+kid2 is approaching max load plus very noodly with mom in back (I guess they say no more than 50lb behind the axle, which is less than one kid2 now.) Almost ordered a madsen last weekend but it's still too long for my spot and when are we going to get thru-axle gmac motors...

bike check / mountain check for the yuba #supercargo with the little hilltopper electric kit. Rode from Barbur up Terwilliger to downtown, around with the BikeLoudPDX e-bike policy ride, and back out Barbur from 1st. The battery indicator was red (of blue, green, red) when I got home but it never faded on the long steady climb out Barbur, 10 minutes for 2.5 miles with 200+ft elevation (ODOT, get your cars off of our essential historically-streetcar-graded bikeways)
