Hey Mark Yep, I've caught myself with the wideloaders too...makes me realise how wide it is... Like you, I'm really loving my Stoked Xtra, as I bed in the...
Hi folks I sent a message to the list and got this one back below.... Who has joined the list that would be sending out this message? I don't think this is...
Hey Ted! It looks like someone who works for the Orlando Florida Metro has perhaps joined the list through his work address and didn't realize that work has a...
So glad to see Mark stoked about his new x. Wish I could be there - I'm still waiting for the funds. I had it all planned but the guy who said he wanted to buy...
... I did the e-assist as a sort of experiment about 2 years ago and I have a sort of love/hate relationship going with it. I have to say that years and years...
they showed up yesterday!! oh man i was excited, i had to go to class though so i shoved the wideloaders in the the bags & took them with me so i could 'play'...
... Arguments of purity aside, this put a huge smile on my face! Arguments of purity NOT aside, what if the electric assist would only give out what was put...
After only 24 hours, I am starting to wonder why I didn't do this a year ago! The X makes my bike so much better! I am a "practical" cyclist, commuting,...
... Anyone who worries about "purity" except in a sense of water or foodstuffs is not living in the real world! It is kind of like a recital my sister gave...
haha welcome to the believers :) Now spread that word around!! Whenever I see people on bike forums trying to nitpick any little thing about the xtracycle, I...
OK, so I found the Xtracycle website and thought it looked awesome, but I am not sure if it is for me or not. I would like to start bike commuting more and...
Check out the Bion-X system for egenerative charging on downhills/flats. My Xtracycle is going on a Giant Lite (electric bike). I commute on a road bike...
If you're a bike-family, you should have one. Period. Once you have it, you'll understand. I started to reply to your questions, but realized I didn't really...
Is there anyone near you who you could have a try out. I use mine for work and it's great not to have to worry if you need to transport anything it's fine for...

I often pick up both my kids at the end of the day (8yrs and 4yrs old) and take them home on the back of the Xtracycle. It is REALLY easy to drop in for...
... I think so. I have a 9-year-old daughter, it's pretty easy with her on the back. In at least one case, she got tired while riding her own bike, we ditched...
For Juergen, and others who haul there kids around, I'm just wondering what kind of distances you go, and how hard it is to be pulling that much extra weight....

Just gear down and take your time. I have a BionX electric assist on mine so naturally it is much easier to climb hills. Without the assist turned on it works...
Greetings! I haven't had a chance to post since I picked up my Xtracycle about 3 weeks ago, but I'm just loving it! It is so nice to be able to just throw my ...
I travel about 10 miles with my 6 and 8 year olds, on a regular basis. It can be tough going, but it is always fun! We once went on an over night tour, on the...
Well, on my Trike I was averaging about 9 mph generally, with power assist It was about 10-12 mph. On my Mountain bike with road tires (Primo Comets) I can...
... street tire and only $20! Can run them at 100 psi if you like, I run at 80 or so and they are super. My bike is a Mountain bike (an elderly, battered,...
I would worry more about the handling and less about the weight. Low gears help you cope with hills, and you are likely to get stronger pretty quickly (how are...
Hi David, There are two PeaPod mounting brackets (that I know of). The original is a clamp for the upper portion of the seat stays. It works(ed) for...
Tonight we went to eat dinner and it was about a 5 mile round trip. 72 lb 6-yr old on the deck and 27 lb 3-yr old in a Burley Cub. Handles great - Townie is...
we're letting a friend borrow our xtracycle this summer. it has a Companion Carrier front seat that his 3 yr old daughter rides, and his 8 yr old son rides on...
Jim; I second David's point about the Townie being a very different bike from the "performance" bikes it sounds like you're used to. I'd be more inclined to...
Sanyo already makes an electric bicycle with regenerative braking. My mother-in-law bought one this Spring and absolutely loves it. She lives in a hilly...
Sorry for the hassle with the filter. Actually I HAVE been getting messages, so that's why it wouldn't have occurred to me there was a problem. I had my...
Perhaps someone could design a motorized single-wheel trailer that pushes the bike? That way you could attach the trailer only when you needed a boost. No...
