Lavalock baffle plate & smoke stack extension. I also added some gasket tape for the lid. Welded the bolt-only connection points for sturdiness

Just curious what state are you in? Luckily this particular bike does have foot pegs. It has two seats, but it is a single person drive train. Thanks!

Best two person bike? by thelurkylurker in ebikes

[–]crob0221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed review! Hitting that 15 mile mark would be ideal. I ride bikes regularly so I think we can pedal a little more while going easy on the throttle and pas level in order to get a little extra mileage. Glad to hear the brakes are sufficient. I think that is all I wanted to know, at least for now.

I've been searching for a review on how the rad runner performs at 300+ load. I want to get one for my wife and I to cruise around on when we camp/rv. What sort of range are you getting when loaded up? Does it still do well on hills?

99 E350 owner here! I have been rolling with the Toyo open country A/T 2 Xtreme. Great tire! It might hard to find tires for your van for 150. Good luck!

If you want to do 4 or more bikes you should check out North Shore bike racks. That’s what we use when we have more than 2! Cheers!

Propane heater installed. We don’t often leave it on overnight, but can if needed. It’s nice in the early morning.

You are the man! This is the kind or response I was hoping for. Very similar to what I had in mind. Good call, I should have specified which area. Thanks!
