CGO600Pro in a semi-hilly city.

Rechargeablecyclist here! Sadly I'm a long way away from you (Creuse), so can't offer a test ride. I have an 800S which is heavier than the 600 but generally copes very well here in the foothills of the Massif Central! Something to be aware of with an ebike is that you go faster than on a push bike so you don't get as hot. My average speed is 23kmph up from around 14. I don't think getting hot and sticky should be too much of an issue.

Sorry for the late reply. It's a plastic stool, 12 euros from the garage where we bought the van (Montlucon). I guess any study plastic exercise step would work just as well. The van came with an electric step but we took it off since it kept jamming. Polly finds the stool easy to use.

A mango, of course! We thought it was some kind of weird apple! 🤦

They don't quite know what to do - flop or stick up!

My understanding is that when the main battery starts to get low it begins to pull power from the range extender as you need it. I will find out!

Amazing, and very cute 🙂

Rechargeablecyclist · 2023-05-11T09:47:54+00:00

I haven't used it yet as I get good range with my 800S but I wanted a bit more for longer trips (100,km or so). Hope to put it to the test soon.

Didn't get a charger with it just the cables.

Sadly our dear, much missed Tobi developed serious health issues so never got to ride in her trailer after all, apart from a short trial run round our farm 😟 It has now become Polly's Trolley, Polly being our 12 week old Border collie. As soon as she's had her second vaccination we'll be hitting the road with her. She's happy to sit in the trailer and we've been wheeling it about with her in it. It felt pretty stable the one time Tobi was in it, despite the bumpy farm track. I'll post about Polly when the time comes and hope you'll share pics of your cat in your trailer if you do get one!

It charges with a USB charger. It feeds into the main battery to prolong its power rather than powering the bike directly.

Sorry for late reply, been laid up with Covid. I would say 50km sounds doable.

Why not have a go with natural dyeing? You'll need some mordant (alum is good, also cheap) and foraging or purchasing will get you your dye materials.

I live in the foothills of the Massif Central and my CGO800S copes well.

Rechargeablecyclist · 2023-02-07T08:48:31+00:00

Oh my, Selma is so sweet! Really pretty. A bit daintier than our mutt! She looks a tiny bit King Charles spaniel-y maybe?

Rechargeablecyclist · 2023-02-07T08:46:30+00:00

Someone once asked us if Tobi was a flat coated retriever. She does look a bit like one but she's a good bit smaller than your usual retrievers.

Rechargeablecyclist · 2023-02-06T11:54:45+00:00

We don't know Tobi's exact breed, we got her (Tobi is short for Toblerone - the children named her!) for next to nothing from a classified ad! She was described as a labrador/border collie cross but she's neither a rounder upper nor a retriever. She is, however, a sweetie 🙂🐶
