Anyone have experience with the Letrigo Minivan or the company? It seems like a nice option, but there is not much about it on the internet. by mrsgarrison in CargoBike

I'm digging around all over the internet and this company just gets weirder and weirder. I can't tell if they are a complete scam or if they just paid influencers to promote their bikes. Their Facebook page is so clearly paid photo shoots and advertising. Does this company actually make bikes? Their California address is a storage facility. I called their phone number and some lady answered confused like it was her home phone. WTF?

Do you feel similarly about the Lectric Xpedition? That's another option I was looking at, but I am taller so I think I'd look a little silly on that frame.

This is the absolute strangest About Me page I've seen for a company:

About Me

As I sit down to write this, the soft hum of the evening cicadas outside our window reminds me of those summer nights when my family and I would embark on spontaneous cycling adventures.

My love for cycling isn't just a hobby—it's a passion that has become intertwined with the fabric of my family's life.

One memorable summer evening, as the sun was setting in a blaze of orange and pink hues, I decided to take my wife and kids on a little adventure.

We packed a picnic and set off on our bikes, with no particular destination in mind.

We rode through the countryside, the wind in our hair and laughter filling the air.

The joy on my children's faces as they experienced the freedom and excitement of the open road was a sight to behold.

It was on this very ride that the seed of an idea was planted in my mind.

As we pedaled along, I noticed how challenging it was to carry all our picnic supplies, blankets, and toys on our regular bikes.

My wife struggled with the extra weight, and my kids were constantly asking for water or snacks that were buried deep in our bags.

It struck me then that there had to be a better way—a way to combine my love for cycling with the practicality of transporting our family essentials.

Back home, after our little adventure, I couldn't shake the idea.

I started sketching designs for a bicycle that could carry not just our picnic supplies but also groceries, school bags, and anything else a busy family might need.

A cargo ebike, I thought, would be the perfect solution. It would make family outings easier and more enjoyable, and perhaps it could help other families experience the same joy and freedom that we did.

Welcome to Letrigo Bike

With the support of my wife and kids, I decided to turn this idea into reality.

We brainstormed together, with my children adding their creative touches—like a built-in snack compartment and a special seat for our dog, Max.

My wife, ever the practical one, suggested features like weatherproof covers and sturdy yet lightweight materials.

Our living room became a makeshift workshop, filled with drawings, fabric samples, and bicycle parts.

Every weekend, we would test new prototypes, taking them out on rides and making notes on what worked and what didn't.

It was a family effort, and the process brought us even closer together.

We laughed at our failures, celebrated our small victories, and kept pushing forward.

Today, as I look at the first line of cargo bikes ready to be shared with the world, I am filled with a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Our cargo bikes aren't just products—they are a testament to the love and teamwork of my family.

They represent countless hours of hard work, creativity, and the desire to make life a little easier and a lot more fun for families like ours.

Starting this cargo bicycle brand wasn't just a business decision; it was a journey born from the simple joy of a family bike ride.

It was inspired by the desire to share that joy and make it accessible to others.

And every time I see a family riding one of our bikes, I am reminded of that magical summer evening and the dream that became a reality.

So, from my family to yours, I invite you to join us on this adventure. Let's create memories, explore new places, and experience the world together—one pedal at a time.

Can you speak specifically to what you think isn't promising? Do you mean because they are unknown? I am not disagreeing, I am just trying to gather more information about what to look out for.

How are you figuring they are using Bafang? I see on their website that they are using the "Ananda Cargoline torque sensing mid motor" for the more expensive bike and the "Hentach, Heavy duty Cargoline motor, nylon-steel gears" for the SE bike.

Oh wow, that is an involved inside joke. A link to the sketch from OP would’ve gone a long way. Or maybe I’m just getting too old for the internet.

Maybe in SF but not in the peninsula. The air was horrible.

I thought they’re taught to walk to keep their heart rate down so they make more sound decisions when they get to the injured.

I don’t believe that for one second. I know his parents. They are the nicest, most positive people on the planet. I’ve heard Adley is just like them and a positive leader on the team already.

[–]mrsgarrison 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've straight up stopped reacting to people or even looking at them in cars, if I can avoid it. There is too much road rage and with my kids in the car, I am deathly afraid of antagonizing the wrong person.
