... I don't know. ... Cutting through the woods would probably be fine - on trails. The wide footprint and possibility to run low pressures on this tire means...
... You must pedal in time with the motor whenever you engage it, yes. You can, of course, coast as usual, but there's no "powered coasting." The assist...
Just out of curiosity... if there was a Tyvek cover designed to fit a bicycle with an Xtracycle FreeRadical added onto it, how many of you would be interested...
Hi Margaret, Since I live in Tucson and parts of my FreeRadical fry in the sun on a regular basis, I'd definitely be interested in such a cover. Reasonable...
Yes, $20-30 would be reasonable (comparable to other bike covers available), and decent looks would be necessary too. I have been meaning to see if I could...
I have also been meaning to get a motorcycle cover since I live in Baltimore where it rains all the time. They range between $20-$50, that seems reasonable to...
I too would be interested in a tyvek cover. 20-35 sounds reasonable to me. I'm not sure if tyvek is made in different colors, but my vote would be a gray or...
Hi Margaret, I'd want one too. I live in Pacific Grove by the ocean and we get salty fog all summer and heavy rainstorms all winter. Truly waterproof is #1, of...
I'd add that having a way to lock it to the bike would be necessary, too. I had one motorcycle cover stolen when I only used a disc-brake lock but when I added...
And a pony... I saw people suggesting $20-$35, and I think that is a little low, given any sensible value for someone's time, and the fact that this will ...
I've been looking for one (I have to park my bike in the sun at work), but the only ones I see fit only non-x'd bikes. Useful design features (listed in order...
Hi Folks I've been following this with a little interest myself, and I would/could make them for around US$50 possibly, but if you wanted them for $20, forget...

... I would be interested. ... $20-30? ... Light weight, ability to store in Xtracycle pockets and ability to withstand winds without coming off. Juergen...
What about using waxed canvas, so as to avoid using any icky plastics (or certainly, God forbid, vinyl!)? Surely, anyone with enough sense/sensibility to ...
Hi, I have recently completed my xtracycle and am very happy with it. I took an Orange P7 mountain bike frame with slick tyres and extended. Some exeperiences...
Great! That makes at least two of us in Switzerland. (I'm in Chur, where riding through town today with plywood and 2.5 m long 2x4 really got some looks. And...
... With 2 mounting plates and an extra-long threaded bolt you have a lot of freedom in where the tongue sits, and hence some control over the geometry...
Thanks a lot for the picture Todd, I stupidly didn't think of doing it like that... I'll give it a try, I think this should change the handling. The frame is...
A whippy comment; If your wife or child were behind the axle, your bike will be extremely whippy. Others have noted this also. With that said, my experience to...
Don't know what flexing you guys are talking about. I have a cheap aluminum frame and it works just fine with the xtracycle. My wife is over 50kg and she...
... You're in a different position on the Xtracycle, and it takes a bit of getting used to. Your weight is nearly 50/50 distributed between each wheel, putting...
My last mountain bike was a 1997 Marin Team Titanium. I loved the bike, but the seat stays flexed alarmingly when you really clamped down on the rear brake: it...

Hey Xtracyclers - Well, the seemingly inevitable has happened: a year or so of Xtracycling, and our car has become obsolete. It doesn't help that it didn't...
I bought this a few years ago, but did not use it more than a couple of times, because I bought a generator hub lighting system for my Xtracycle instead. It is...
I just put a hub lighting system on my Xtracycle bike also - and must offload four Hokey Spokes and a slightly dodgy Niterider (Japan only). Funky lights like...
