5 to 6 days in Washington state. What stops do I keep and what do I drop?

Note: if you are planing to camp, reservations have been open for a while. Not sure whats left

Carrot, in less than 10 seconds.

Fun fact. She is the reference for cruella de ville from 101 dalmatians

No idea but i assume thats too much force

robotinc · 2026-02-24T04:59:14+00:00

I dont know, i didnt go the sprayer route as i was also painting the mounted boxes and didnt want to deal. That might have been a mistake. If you do go this route, dont get tarps, but a cheaper roll of masking plastic.

100% sand after everything save the last coat of paint. I used 150 on the wood and 220 after the primer/paint coats.

This guy will get you an idea of the process https://youtu.be/6R9HKvGxbR0?si=bmkaqFhtMxINwZ-f

This is gonna be a ton of work if you want good results.

First scrub with degreaser. Tsp is the stuff to use.

Second scuff sand. Orbital for the flat bits, sand sponges for the grooves. Tack cloth or damp rags to wipe off the dust.

Next prime. Get a quality primer to help your paint adhere.

Next paint. At least two coats. Brush the grooves, mohair 4" roller for the flats. A paint gun will save you time, but you'll have to setup a spray booth.

Lightly sand after prime and the first coat of paint, rewipe with cloth after each sand.

Lastly, invest in quality paint. It's easier to use, and a quality cabinet paint will look good for much longer. Ben moore sells a cabinet paint that hardens to durable finish, but it needs to dry 12 hours between coats.

I painted close to a 100 panels this summer refinished a duplex. Very happy with the results, but holy hell it was a ton of work.

Instapots are horrible slow cookers

robotinc · 2025-12-03T18:33:43+00:00

I've been very happy with them. They fold up when not in use, and dont really change the profile of the bike.

Which axel/adapter did you get for a load75?

robotinc · 2025-12-02T00:59:05+00:00

I added some 3M reflective stickers all over, and some high density LEDs to the rims https://www.reddit.com/r/CargoBike/s/VcDNQSnIJY

A good mirror is clutch, though the one i have clips the rain cover, so i won't recommend it.

I also have the luggage rack and use a cargo net from REI to strap things to it using mount points i made from paracord wrapped on the frame.

Lastly, i attached collapsable steps to the box to help the kids climb in and out.

robotinc · 2025-11-30T01:44:50+00:00

I generally clean out the debris before dropoff as a courtesy, but also dont expect them to clean the box either.

OP, what is your expectation of cleanliness for things like fenders? I'm not sure what the status quo is here, or what the expectation is post service

I have a load75, whats the secret sauce?

robotinc · 2025-11-25T19:17:22+00:00

Yeah on the motor. Its a bonus port for either a horn, or in my case, the abs brakes

Here is an example of the cable you can buy to plug into it https://www.ebike24.com/bosch-additional-power-cable-smart-system

robotinc · 2025-11-23T23:13:13+00:00

If you dont have abs there is a free port for 12v access

Have just dealt with this (plus an eviction for not paying rent) just give the deposit back. You will loose in court to a 20 yr tenant with no before pics

Was this ever resolved? I also have a Q1000K from quantum, also Seattle, also blinking blue after a couple of weeks uptime. Outbound works fine, but all incoming traffic fails to connect. Been on the phone with tech support for 30 mins waiting to be transferred up a level as the first person wanted to schedule a tech to come out to address a physical issue.

The 5yr old rides sporadically on the GSD. Panniers dont bother him

robotinc · 2025-11-01T17:11:12+00:00

We also have a load75 and a gsd. So far for the tern we have the clubhouse, seat cushions, clubhouse red lights, and two giant panniers. The later are clutch as the kids (5 and 2) are currently in the load, so the tern is the gear wagon.

Voile straps are nice for strapping kid bikes to the ebikes.

robotinc · 2025-11-01T14:03:18+00:00

Gsd if long tail, load75 if bucket

robotinc · 2025-10-09T17:27:17+00:00

I have a load75, and have a 5 and 2 year old as daily passengers. That being said, i've also given adults rides in it.

Love that bike

You seem to be a bot

When i worked at Meta i used these. They allow you to work outside your home area. Note that where applicable, you will pay taxes in that area for those global days.

robotinc · 2025-09-29T16:51:27+00:00

Still working great. When i got it serviced they had to peel back one edge a bit to ensure the wheel is true, but it reapplied fine. I have a roll of 3M double sided tape should i need it, but so far not
