My Transition group wants to use cargo bikes or bikes pulling trailer to deliver local produce.
Now Ipswich actually has a fair few hills contrary to the stereotype of East Anglia, so they agreed that e-bikes could be worth investigating.
As well as ready made bikes, what are good and relatively affordable kits at the moment? I am only after stuff which is readily available in Blighty (rather than waiting 6 weeks for parcels to arrive from China)?
Also does anyone know of places selling second-hand Powabykes etc, either reconditioned or for bits? I reckon these could be good workhorses for this purpose...
the bikes will only be serving about a 5-10 mile radius and be returned to a central point in town so range isn't that much of an issue, so I would expect SLA batteries are still feasible..
