    Bike for child trailer, to go up steep hill?

    Jackhandy, excellent idea, I will definitely attempt something similar. In addition to the flag I attached a 'baby/child on board' thingy to the rear, like they have them in cars, after a friend who overtook me in her car when we were both on our way to swimming classes, pointed out that had she...

    Bike for child trailer, to go up steep hill?

    To get back to original question, err if I were to increase my budget significantly to include the ezee sprint, would you think that should do the job? And would that be a good choice, value for money etc., at that price? John said I might be able to get the bike with a smaller battery at a...

    Bike for child trailer, to go up steep hill?

    Thanks for worrying about my child SteveHall. I'm not quite convinced however that towing the trailer with an e-bike is more dangerous than towing the trailer with my pushbike. Up the hill, on my push bike I am slower than walking speed (literally, pedestrians overtake me). This means I get...

    Thank you Kudos 4 Redbridge!

    I'd like to add my thanks, had a great afternoon out and really enjoyed myself! Personally I adored the feel of the ride on the Ezee and was pleasantly surprised by the two Kudos (Eco and a MTB thing) I tried. Loved the Ansmann bike but can't afford it :( The Woosh Sirocco CD is great but given...

    This sounds interesting. Before I make the trek though, just to double-check, is this a Kudos-only event? Or, which other brands will be there?

    Bike for child trailer, to go up steep hill?

    Thanks so much, I am seeing things a lot clearer now. Now off to pick up the little man - as yet not from the top of the hill, just down the road..

    Bike for child trailer, to go up steep hill?

    Ok so was looking at the Tonaro models, I don't mind the styling though it does take some getting used to. I'd say definitely a contender but have been unable to figure out if they have pedal-assist. All I could find is 'The power is controlled by using the twist throttle.' If no PAS that would...

    Bike for child trailer, to go up steep hill?

    Thanks again. In a way it would have made things easier to be able to exclude all rear hub motor bikes due to trailer issues .. but well they are back in the race now ;) So if hub motor, it would need to be a 'strong' one, and the eZee primo lists as 'BLDC front hub' motor. edit: just found...

    Bike for child trailer, to go up steep hill?

    Thanks flecc, was looking at the Sirocco CD but unfortunately it's currently unavailable :( But will look into the eZee too. Trex, interesting, but on my current bike the cup and skewer are one integrated item. If I got a new cup only, how would I attach it to the bike? I don't think Chariot...

    Bike for child trailer, to go up steep hill?

    Thanks, Well it's a Chariot ez-hitch Chariot Carriers Axle Mount EZ Hitch at REI.com (that's just a random site that popped up but shows a good image). So the hitch is attached to the axle. So on my current push-bike for example, I had to remove to original axle and replace it with this...

    Bike for child trailer, to go up steep hill?

    I confess I am slightly underwhelmed by the number of responses... I had thought that some dealer-posters at the least would recommend their bikes. Is it the budget? Ok I'm thinking that probably needs to go up. Or are my requirements totally unrealistic? Or does nobody have experience with...

    Bike for child trailer, to go up steep hill?

    Hello everyone, After having lurked for a little while I'm now hoping that you might be able to help me figure out which e-bike I should buy! I know exactly what I need it for, but the more I look at what is available, the more confused I get about what would suit my requirements. So, in...
