I use a redundant dog trailer, dog passed away a few years ago. I keep thinking about removing the cover and putting a flat bed and sides on it, just can't find my box of round tuits.

I have 7 speed 13 / 34 on the back, with 42t on front. Bbs01b came with a 46, not enough low end grunt for some bits of local bridleways and tracks. It can fly along at 25mph top if I up the speed limit. Altering other settings like Keep Current and setting the throttle to Current Control made a...

There's also the speeed app for Android, works a treat when out and about, no need to carry a laptop.

Would cost per hour travelling give a better comparable view ? I've thought about this with my outboard powered narrowboat - a honda 20hp burning circa 1 ltr an hour at 3mph. My 15ltr tank lasts 3 days cruising. Easily burnt up in a day with the car, while travelling further.

I already had a donated hybrid, fitted with a cheap pair of sprung forks. Works a treat with the bafang mid drive on tracks and trails. I fitted a 42t front ring to cope with the hilly bits. I would have liked disc brakes but the v brakes are ok.

Although I wear a helmet now and advocate it, I remember doing all sorts on my old Hercules with rod pull stirrup brakes as a kid, building ramps with dad's decorating plank, towing bogies, going scrambling on rough ground, whizzing down a local steep road with a blind junction at the bottom...
