I stumbled upon the forum here while searching google for "bicycle trailer suspension." Very nice...
My name is Rick. I have been living in Wichita for the last 10 yrs, and have lived here in south central KS for my whole life...My stable includes a 1997 Mongoose Alta, a 1997 Rans Tailwind, and my current ride everywhere bike a 1987 Bianchi Portofino.
I have been looking into putting together an electric bike for a few months now, and it is really nice to have found a community of "like minded" individuals. I have not considered a gasoline powered engine, but recently I had a conversation with the owner of the place I work about ebikes which did spark my interest. He told me about going to school in Europe, where there were all of these mopeds that ran on tire-driven 2-stroke engines...hmmm...
My goal with this project is to provide myself with a bike that can haul enough stuff and be fast enough in traffic to be a full-fledged replacement for a car. I would also like to build a trailer for the bike that will haul my 75 lb. lab in comfort, as well as serve dual-purpose for hauling bulky and heavy loads.
Thanks for reading! Looking forward to learning much from you all....
