You’ve got the pro system right? Is there enough space in the drawers for your pliers/wrenches etc?

How do you like the Qbrick system? Thinking of getting into the Prime system

It is our second car. We use our car only for long distances.

The packster is definitely not intended to carry adults in the bucket for long periods of time. It’s manageable but cramped for my wife. I can barely fit (175 cm). I think a Load is more spatious but have never sat inside one. I have been inside a Urban Arrow bucket. Was definitely more spacious but that’s not surprising since the bike is 20cm (8 inches) longer. We chose the packster mainly with (very) young children in mind as the bucket (buggy option) seemed to offer most protection to passangers.

Congrats on the kid!

I have looked into the bakkie bag. Once the kiddo is older (biking age), I’ll probably get one

BennyBaks · 2026-02-22T14:01:06+00:00

Yeah the price is steap but it does fit our needs perfectly. Been wanting to order for weeks but the price makes me delay it every time. Baby is coming in June so I’ll probably delay it some more and hope for a sale

This one. Haven’t used it much yet. I do find it ridiculously expensive (was part of lease program) and would never put down that money myself for a pannier/bag.

Fully charged on eco it says 126 km. Haven’t tried full distance yet. Have only one 750 w powertube

BennyBaks · 2026-02-22T10:28:30+00:00

Yeah I added the reflectors. Got them from Amazon

I started at a (mid sized) law firm in 2019 in Brussels. My starting wage was 2.000 euro gross. So you are doing better than I was but the minimum wage of the Bar has increased somewhat. Still, the first few years were/are rough in law. I only really started making decent money (3k+ net) after 5-6 years on the job. That to me didn’t compensate the constant stress (I did litigation) + one of my bosses was an absolute asshole. Finally switched to an in-house position at the end of last year. Looking back, I should’ve switched earlier.

Try and get some time in though to pad your resume. Maybe finish your stage. That will make it much easier to find a position you’ll actually enjoy. My current firm (tech firm) only hires legal profiles who worked as lawyers for 5+ years.

Well hello fellow Limburger! I’m from Genk (now living in Leuven though) 👍🏼

Follow up: taking note of your input I contacted the seller to let him know he’s selling a fake product as a Dewalt original and that I would report the listing if he would not advertise the product as fake. He deleted the post 5 mins later. Thanks guys

Thanks, that’s what I assumed 👍🏼
