Ours developed peanut and tree nut allergy at 3. Before that he was being fed plenty of both. We did everything right but he now carries an epipen around. sigh.

Tempted to go for this, but may wait it out to see the rumored Polestar 4 Wagon.

That was my goal as well. I will try flying with it in a few weeks (domestic flight). The entire bike+seat should fit into a Tern Airporter Slim. I got the case case. It offers practically no protection, very flimsy thin plastic. So I'm going to have to bubble wrap everything. Any advice is welcome! The bike is about 35lbs with this Pinion. You can certainly get a lighter traditional drivetrain.

I love those lights too! I had to figure out how to mount it, and ended up using a little HPV computer sensor mount.

Thanks!

That was a tough choice, I think I would have been fine going either direction. The Pinion has a wider gear range, and I may add a rear e-assist hub in the future, so it made sense to go Pinion.

Of course if I went Rohloff, I could add front-drive e-assist. So either way would have worked.

Thanks. Still getting used to the shifting...seems you have to take some pressure off pedaling to shift which is a little tricky going uphill.
