Cargo bikes and Mini Velos. And both combined! I like it. Feels so European. “Wait you mean small, practical, and functional? How UnAmerican” 🤣 I’m all for it!

@@radwanderer6165 servus, und danke für deine Anmerkung. Das pauschal zu beantworten ist immer etwas schwierig, hängt doch stark von dem Oberkörper / Bein Verhältnis ab. Das no hat einen recht flachen / adaptiven Sitwinkel, durch herausziehen der Sattelstütze verlängert sich die Oberrohrlänge , das funktioniert bei den meisten Menschen gut bis ca, 1,9m, Da wir die Rahmen in München vor Ort und von Hand bauen ist aber auch längeres Oberrohr realisierbar, wenn gewünscht. Darf ich fragen welche oberrohrlänge du bei welchem Rad fährst? Freut uns das es dich anspricht!

Thank you, guys, for all the content of the last weeks and especially for curating the good stuff of Eurobike.

Stijn is beautiful and I'd love that as a travel/gravel/road bike.

“Did away with the steering linkage” is such a funny way to describe the basic archetype of CycleTrucks

Nice to see some coverage of the "small wheeled wonders". I have been a fan since your Moulton video on "Will it Gravel". It has been fun learning how to ride a 20 inch wheel bike on the rough stuff. Obviously not for the pointy end of the race if you want to do well but more a challenge for a fun weekend to keep riding interesting.

So I think there is a misunderstanding here. The cago bike has a "steer by wire" method where the fork is mechanically connected via steel cables for steering. Steer by wire is a term known from aviation though, where it means that there is no mechanical connection but everything is done electronically.

@nbartlett6538

@@plissk3n1337 Yes that latter meaning is what I thought was being referred to here. But it's evident that others understood it differently (e.g. the other commenter who said he has "brake by wire"). It's definitely an ambiguous term.

Ma favourite cargo bike is the speedy Schoof & Jensen Doubledecker , which is a bit like Cago CS bike with an upper front rack and a lower rack. The lower rack folds up, the upper rack is fixed on a rail and can be taken away. The handle bar can be turned sideways, et voilà the bike can be easily put in a garage, corridor, or even in the apartment. It is totally slim. Both front racks are eurobox standard size 60x40. You can also get a lockable aluminium box for the upper rack and of course you an use a normal cargo rack on the rear. Everyone and anyone will find his or her drivetrain, because everything is possible: no engine, Pinion, belt, chain, rear derailleur, hub gearbox, Bosch motor, Shimano motor, whatever you fancy. I realise I sound like a sales guy, though I live in the same beautifull coastal city of Flensburg, next to the Danish border. But I have not yet met the guys. Hopefully soon.

Okay but the bob-trailer-weld-bike is kinda sick though.

I don'y know if cargo bikes are becoming a "trend" or if the plethora of electric motors for bikes is causing a market that people have been waiting for. Either which way the practical nature has always interested me and we thank you for making the videos Russ.

Great info dude.. not seen these on the other reviews of the show.. some great ideas here 😊 Pete 🚴🏻👍

Go Stjin! Fella lives down the road from me, quick little bike.

Was that a crack on the clamping bolts of the fork on the Puppie Dog. 😬

That was fun! Thank you for the coverage of this event! Interesting differences from the US bike industry. :)

Still wishing for a production fat tire mini velo (somthing like the Falconer)... at least 3" tires, not folding, not electric

Oh man that closing was COLD...😂

pretty interesting, these bikes are more about utility and replacing cars than standard go fast road and gravel bikes. Pretty forward looking and probably a good reflection on how Europe is envisioning bikes in the future.

Great rundown. I believe Stijn is pronounced like ‘stain’ It also sounded like Drust was new to you. I thought they were pretty well known. All good ☺️✌️

Russ sounds so disappointed with that last bike! To be fair, that cargo layout, while impractical for general use, is probably the best way to carry extremely heavy and dense loads. Need to move a half a ton of depleted uranium on a bike? That's where I'd put it!

I just want to brag that I've met Russ this year at Eurobike!

+1 for the Concours du Machines, and Ritchey coverage! Did you get to check out the Moulton XTB while you were there? BTW, a mechanic I met in Vienna told me that the Schindelhauer front hubs spin better than anything else on the planet. I don't know myself, but it is a data point.

Nice video thank you

Yes! Type testing is a code smell!!! I am tired of seeing type checking for doing one thing or another. That's is most likely a wrong design. Thanks! And you have nothing to apologize for, at least for what I am concerned. You are making deep OOP understandable.

Would love to learn more about the bag brands on a lot of these bikes. Not a lot of front/pizza rack bag options out there.

That CagoBike rig! Add. To. Cart.

Russ seems to like apocalypse bikes a little too much…

Does that one bike has the fork the right way round? The disc brake facing forward isn't that common, I guess. I heard it can have some disadvantages.

Interesting!

Cargo bikes are cool. I want one.

Please God, we need more of these in the US. And not >>4k USD! Radpower and Lectric have some good offerings but not as niche or nice build quality as what's being shown here. I would love a cheaper bakfiets/front loader alternative to the Urban Arrow.

Mini velos ❤

The innovation I want to see is affordability. I love most of these bikes, especially the Vello, but sheesh are they expensive. You used to be able to buy a great bike for €800.-

Interesting tech finds, but I see that you are still struggling with the proper metaphor to differentiate a bicycle with one that has motor assist? Analog/Acoustic isn't cutting it. Mixing your metaphors is tedious for your audience and speaking quickly isn't preferable to speaking clearly.
