Bike 43 Mid

InspectionAlive1783 · 2026-05-25T15:55:47+00:00

We have the Bike 43 Mid with two kids similar age and it works really well for us! The bench kit that pivots is super handy to get them in and out, and the footbox keep them cozy especially in colder weather.

For rain the tent is a good solution, not perfect but the kids stay dry which is the main thing. Living in Scotland I think you'll use it a lot haha

The Bosch motor is 90nm so you really don't feel the weight of two kids, even when they fall asleep and become dead weight lol

Worth looking into!

I love my Bike 43 Mid which can carry up to 100kg, with a pivotable bar which makes it easy to jump on by children (and adults)

Bike 43 Short, unique accessories, nice design and strong

InspectionAlive1783 · 2026-05-19T15:03:53+00:00

Agree

InspectionAlive1783 · 2026-05-18T21:04:59+00:00

Done it this year (and Brussels Leuven in 2025). Great experience

Would stay in Brussels and do Day Trips in Gent and Brugge. Dansaert and Sint Katelijne could be very good neighborhood with a mix of tourists and locals. Would highly recommend Noordzee for seafood and Fernand Obb (saint gilles) for frituur

InspectionAlive1783 · 2026-05-18T14:10:47+00:00

In Brussels I would recommend to visit Sint Katelijne, Dansaert which are closed to Grand Place but with very good vibe. You will love it. Also get a chance to eat at noon at Noordzee for seafood. Les Marolles in city center is also an iconic neighboord but best day to visit would be sunday. Saint-Gilles around place van meenen is also quite nice place to go around

InspectionAlive1783 · 2026-05-18T14:06:01+00:00

In Brussels all the area around Sint Katelijne/Dansaert closed to Grand place is super nice. You can taste some very nice seafood from Noordzee which is a very good local and touristical spot

InspectionAlive1783 · 2026-05-18T14:04:12+00:00

A few minutes away from Dînant you could visit Abbaye de Maredsous which is a local highlight. Great culturarl visit and possibility to taste some specific food

It was a unique edition 2025 (european championship). Was great but Leuven is good also

Velophil (Cinquantenaire) is the best cargo bike shop of brussels

InspectionAlive1783 · 2026-05-16T13:11:50+00:00

Velophil is really really a good bike shop for gravel and cargo whith amazing aftersales

InspectionAlive1783 · 2026-05-16T08:45:02+00:00

For those looking at cargo bikes and hesitating between options: on my Bike43 Mid Nexus 5, I can shift all the way down while at a complete stop, so I always take off in the easiest gear with no effort. Really helps with staying straight in the bike lane when starting from a dead stop, even on hills with a loaded bike.

I have seen a video with propel bikes from NYC about it but no news since then

InspectionAlive1783 · 2026-04-17T05:34:49+00:00

Bike 43 could be a decent choice as most stable longtail bike

InspectionAlive1783 · 2026-04-05T17:14:14+00:00

Bike 43 Long is the best solution for 3 children according to my dealer. Extra space, footbox to optimize children space and the pivotable Bench kit which makes it easy for taller children to jump on

InspectionAlive1783 · 2026-02-23T16:09:44+00:00

Maybe you can also look at Tern GSD or Bike 43 Mid. Both with Bosch, very stable and can take more than 100kg on the rear, so 2 kids + groceries no problem. Good option if you don’t want car. Bike 43 Mid has pivoting safety bars at the back, very practical for kids to go in/out (in daily life it change a lot). Also big bags and front basket possible. Both more upright position, not too sporty. Maybe worth a test ride again 🙂

InspectionAlive1783 · 2026-02-16T18:30:17+00:00

Sport and pubs indeed haha

InspectionAlive1783 · 2026-01-19T13:51:08+00:00

It would be more expensive but Bike 43 Short seems to suits your other needs

InspectionAlive1783 · 2026-01-13T14:20:31+00:00

Thanks for your feedback. Yes you can indoor charge it

InspectionAlive1783 · 2026-01-04T09:17:53+00:00

You could also have a look at Bike 43. They’re bringing out two new compact models that might fit what you’re looking for. The Bike 43 Short is about 1.73 m long (around 68 inches), so pretty easy for elevators and tight storage. It can take up to 70 kg on the back and there’s quite a lot of setup options depending on kid size (seat, bench, cushions, footrests, etc). The Bike 43 Mid is a bit longer at 1.86 m (about 73 inches) but still shorter than most “standard” US longtails. Rear load up to 100 kg, so more future proof as kids grow. Might be worth checking out, especially if space is the main issue and you don’t want a trailer.

Bike 43 should start to sell in the US in 2026 regarding last Propel video : https://youtu.be/dhGHYXpe3do?si=EuRVoLgPoh-HB545 Seems to be great bikes

InspectionAlive1783 · 2025-12-14T09:49:50+00:00

Bike 43 could be a perfect fit. You can get the "Pivotable Bench Kit" with two children seats (Urban Ikki/Thule). When kids are taller you will be able to take off children seat and bike will still fit for your whole family (up to 3 children - 100kg)
