Yeah I've gone off the deep end, but it's fun. I blame it on the music I've been listening to lately. More writeup and photos from this ride on my site soon

Is that one of those toy ones that has the marble thingies in it that sounds like a popcorn maker when you push it?

Someone has got to get you back to a suffocating corporate job. You appear to have too much time on your hands and might be enjoying it a little too much.

Westy- with all that weight in the back, it probably wouldn'thave been too hard...

Heidi- yeah yeah, I am trying to be more earth friendly ;)

Changleen- That sounds like something GW would say...

Dump- no comment:mad:

BYO- yep still for sale. Haven't advertised it anywhere other then on my site yet tho. I have mixed feelings about selling it and will probably back out anyway:rolleyes:

Max- I'll take that as a compliment:cool:

JBP- Not at all, it was a little squirrely if I made any quick movements, but I kept a normal speed for about 5 to 7 miles in city(town) riding.

Mike B- I can't deny it :D

More photos over there now.

What would the Icepeeps think?
That's one of the fine things about being middle aged. You stop worrying about what people think and start doing your own thing. Makes life about 210% more enjoyable:D
That being said, they are probably drafting up my resignation letter as I type:help:

I don't understand.

How does that extension thingy work exactly? I wish I could get a better view of it. Do you have any pictures without the panniers and mower?

That's pretty cool. Any advantages over say a trailer?

The kids in my neighborhood would love that thing. I can see it now. One on the bars, one on the pedals, one on the seat holding onto the one on the pedals, and about four hanging off the back. They could more than double their current bike carrying capacity.

What's wrong with 'em? They're quiet, they're not smelly, they're really light.......... :confused:
OK, I amend my orginal comment to: Dealing with the cord for an electric lawnmower sucks. Not the actual lawnmower itself. Better?

Yeah a whole bunch I think.

More carrying capability.
More style
Its part of the bike instead of something attached that could bounce around back there. For most things, you don't even realize that you are hauling something.


Yeah, I already took sara for a ride on the back. I put my little nephew inthe side bags, strapped him in and he was super happy just riding in the pouch :) You can also buy wide loaders for another 50 bucks and you have even more carrying capability. I've just gotten started :rofl:

I'm super excited about this thing, it really exceeded all my expectations....

If that's a Black and Decker 24 volt rechargable you may want to check their website for a recall - mine burst into flames.
:hot:

It's an electric. I bought a two year warrantee on it, so it's fully covered.
