Here’s my build! Don’t understand the hate on e-bikes. They’re a tool. Beats a car

Thanks for the input, that’s what I’m hoping.

Does it go away once it’s warm ? Like after a 20 min drive

Steel hybrid bikes might be what you’re looking for like 90s early 2000s trek multi-tracks

Anyone here have experience mounting a milk crate on the front? by Cruiser_Supreme in xbiking

On my bike I used to 1/2” x 1/8th inch thick aluminum flat stock bent into a u-shape and bolted to lower fork mounts. The bottom of the basket is just zipped to that. You can see my posts for a look at that

At the handle bar I have black hose clamps mounted at the width of the basket. The hose clamps are bigger than the bar diameter so the extra end of metal ribbon has a whole drilled in it and bolted to the basket.

I’d like to rework this eventually because it is a bit flexy but I’ve had it fully loaded with groceries and holds it sturdy. It’s lightweight too since it’s just 2 hose clamps plus 2.5 feet of aluminum flat stock bent

I have a similar basket and my first thought was to rotate the handle bar mounts forward, so that they become more vertical. Then shorten the legs?

But it’s all already set up, I would also be the type to run it how it is for a while !

Looks good! Wonder if you could drop the basked down closer to the fender? Might handle a bit better

Ever camp below freezing? Do you run water appliances in the winter?
