    Lightweight trailer

    Public transport are the reason I'm cycling with my brompton. I really dislike that and it's so mich faster and more enjoyable with a bike.. Never had a week without technical problem, strike, accident or closed station due to renovation. And it's always crowded and expensive! Only take it...

    Lightweight trailer

    I think you're all completely right guys. I sent a seller a big warning about handling issue with my bike. And also asked him if I can send it back if it's not working as well as expected. Wait to see his answer. The problem with the single speed trailer is that the seller didn't want to...

    Lightweight trailer

    Thank guys, you're right I better go on the safety road. Garry, the trailer you indicated doesn't seem bad. The seller didn't show any picture of the folded trailer. If it folds completely flat, I'd probably buy this one. Flecc, I take note of your advice. And by the way your trailer seems...

    Brompton kit on ebay - crystalyte 209

    Hehe, from the thread on endlessphere, it seems that he fitted the wheel on the wrong side lol (see the arrow on the hub) Jerry, unfortunately I already have my super brompton. So no need to get a crystalyte 209. ;) That's however quite a good price so maybe someone can be happy with this motor :)

    Lightweight trailer

    Yes I agree with you guys it's better to have a real bike trailer. But they are either too big or too expensive. I can't see myself spending more than 150£ for a trailer. It's just a metal bar with 2 wheels on it. The one on eBay or second hand are way too heavy and bulky. They don't fold and...

    International travelling with ebike

    That's what I'm thinking to do: - post the battery to destination. Shouldn't be too expensive unless I send it to another continent. And I may even get the customs lol
