tomarnold Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I have found it much easier to cycle to my takeoff sites, all of which are within a 3-minute ride from my house - a bit too far to walk with all my kit, but a bit too close to drive. It saves me dismantling the cage to fit it in the car, and I easily carry my glider and bits and pieces in my bike trailer. Works a treat, but certainly gets some funny looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomarnold Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Have considered trying it with the motor running, but probably best to rely on my legs for the propulsion on the ground! And yes, a sack truck was the other option. Nice one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptwizz Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I've not used it to transport my kit, but this seems to fit the bill. The motorised sacktruck / bicycle was built in 2004 for an introductory video for Scrapheap Challenge. It would carry three adults up a 1 in 4 hill.

tomarnold Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Is that en electric bike? Yep, it's my transport to work. I cycle 20 miles a day on it and it means I still get some exercise (it's like cycling on the flat all the time even though there are huge hills all the way to work) while not having to shower and get changed at the end of each commute. Brilliant. Plus of course it means not spending any money on petrol as a bonus. And as an extra bonus it makes it much easier cycling with a paramotor on my back!
