Hello all, great stuff on the forum as always. I nearly went electric before but hung on as I thought the bikes were going to improve, my problem is getting heavier every year !
I was wondering what you thought about these bikes, Kona UTE, yuba mondo, and the xtracycle add on.
Basically my wife or myself haul 2 kids (6 and 4 years old) in a trailer in beautiful but hilly cornwall with an old school mountain bike. I would like to add an electrical motor for going up the hills. so I was wondering if it would be possible to add the xtracycle attachment to the kalkhoff bikes ? the other option could be to add a hub motor to the Kona ute or the yuba mondo, or just stick with the trailer and swap the bike pulling it for an electric assist. The kids are getting a bit big for the trailer. We do get them to cycle but we still have a few years to go before they could keep up for most of our bike journeys.
Any thoughts appreciated mitty
