Just transport, I haven't actually used it whilst cycling. The title is obviously a little misleading for dramatic effect. It's actually safer than regular cycling. Most drivers gave me ample space.
The use case for this one is to provide heat for outdoor building work. We're cleaning 10' of thousands of 300 year old bricks to be reused to build up a registered monument. There is no electricity at the site yet, so the options are limited.
It actually sort of is. It's a Winther Wallaroo. Winther is also a Danish manufacturer that usually makes cargo trikes. This model was launched around 10 years ago and combined a stretched and reinforced frontend of a bullit with the backend of a Winther. It's sort if a step through frame bullit.
A tongsheng tsdz8. I chose that one over the more common bafang ones because of the torque sensor. Overall pretty happy with it and quite easy to install. I replaced the chainguard with a sks chainblade. It was relatively difficult to find one that would fit. The cable to the display is just barely long enough for the slightly wider than standard handlebars I went with.
It's definitely overkil, even for a cargo bike like this one hat gets some heavy abuse. I would have bought the 250w tsdz2 if the clearance would have allowed it. Also the tsdz2 has quite a few reports of nylon gears giving up and I didn't want to run the risk woth a cargo bike like this. I chose this motor because of the pricing, durability, frame clearance and torque sensor. The power output wasn't a concern. This motor is technically not very legal here in the EU, but I've limited the bike to 25 kph, so the added torque is just for climbing bridges (no hills where I live) when fully loaded.
Yes, i chose this because of the extra clearance over de tsdz2. The only problem i've encountered is that the torque would pull the rear wheel closer in the drop outs. I've filed a more stronger profile in the anti rotation washers to combat the issue. Also i've taken some of the paint around the bottom bracket of to prevent rotation of the motor.
How long does it run on your battery or did you connect it to a dynamo?
It works with a bottle of propane.
This had to be a joke…..There’s no way that’s safe

I would be way too tempted to try it while cycling
Lit 🔥
I’d try it
I had to check if this was /r/bicyclingcirclejerk
Super long extension cord.
It’s LED, fusion, wind powered, perpetual motion generated heat. No dynamo needed 😀
Dries hair too!
Gold medal winner right here.
the lengths I will go to to not rock pogies.
Wildly underrated comment
maybe I'm just dumb or ignorant but how the fuck do you steer this thing? via Bluetooth?
You programme the co-ordinates in to the heads up display before you leave, and the bike takes care of all the steering for you.
Save having to look at a map too,
Serious question? There is a rod between the steerer tube and the front fork. On my other cargo bike there is a set of wires connecting the two.
There are a lot of remote steering bikes, It's probably just cables or hopefully hydraulic
these are usually plainly mechanic. hydraulic is clearly overkill. like a rod with elbows
Don't even respond- oops, just did.
Nice one! But.. have you ever heard of gloves?
Or jackets?
These patio heaters to heat up outdoor areas are fucking disgrace, especially the gas operated ones. Mostly for nasty cig smokers anyways.
Oh, I see, you mean for riding, yeah, warm gloves with a windbreaker layer are a must.

What bike is this? At first I thought it was a Bullitt.

Awesome. The strength of the Bullitt bed is increÃble. I have one with 10 years of abuse and it’s perfect.
I need this
A Wallaroo! I just acquired one myself, what motor did you throw on it? Planning a conversion.

The motor goes up to 140nm torque too!

Did it fit without needing to be altered at all?

this is the most badass thing to happen in the brabant all year probably
Antwerpen! Old part of the Duchy of Brabant though.
Damn I went the wrong direction
28km north ;)
Fireball 5000
Have you patented this yet?
