Especially the cargo space.


Coroplast panniers

Creating an airfoil around the panniers

Panniers, shelf space on top of the panniers, and the top compartment, together with bottle holders. Zipper can’t compare.

I was talking to a banker yesterday. I said I could have started an electric bike business in 1986 for $40,000 , but now it’s going to cost at least $7,000,000 , account the ebike industry has gotten so large, and he said “more”.
