I'm thinking of going into the e-bike delivery service. Good to know what can and cannot be transported. What were your stats?

Hey Dan great to see you posting. Hope you and yours are keeping well.

That pic gives us a good idea of how things have progressed. Imagine if we were still restricted to using those. We would need three of them to power our Bromptons at 36v!

Regards

But you'd have a good 30 amp of useable power and some mega peak discharge potential...

Good skills on the transporting. Bet in handled like a boat.

I carried an oil heater on my bike, with a friend sat behind me for a short distance, it seems practically anything can be carried on the ebike, within reason. I've seen pics of people carrying fridges and stuff on normal bicycles!
