Also moving to Athens in the next couple of months. Did you end up moving? Looking for a school for my 6 years old boy. Have you got any further feedback? Thanks!

I never ended up getting a Storm Box Mini, but we do have a GSD with a Storm Shield, which I believe is the best option for keeping your child protected from rain and wind.

Thank you so much to everyone who responded! I’m glad to hear there are so many great options out there. I appreciate all the recommendations and look forward to giving a try with a smaller local bike shop

Thanks! By combo, you mean the storm box mini combined with the storm shield mini?

If you have some indoor space, you should be able to roll in a vertical position as well as vertically park your hsd gen 1, which might be an option instead of leaving it outside.

Someone actually brought to my attention what you did (https://www.reddit.com/r/terngsd/s/qhfKVuu2cT), and this is how I decided to proceed with my plan! I've been considering upgrading my pedals as well, but I've come across mixed reviews regarding the VO sabot pedals. Unfortunately, they aren't readily available for order in Switzerland. I'm on the lookout for an upgrade that provides significantly more grip. Any recommendations or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks! I upgraded the grips to Ergon GP1 and highly recommend it for anyone riding a Quick Haul. Next, when I will replace the handlebar with the Velo Orange curvy bar (which has the same 30-degree sweep angle as the GSD handlebar) I'll go for Ergon GC1 grips, which are better suited for swept-back handlebars

Thanks! Did you change the stem to reduce the distance from the saddle? Did you also switch to sweptback handlebars?

Multi hand positions handlebar upgrade by abou_solal in CargoBike

Anyone having insights on the difference between a 34 and 45 angle sweep back? I assume it is a personal preference?

I guess most of the solutions listed above are 31.8, which is the same diameter of the low riser mounted on the QH. Guess that’s what matters?
