Ok, all of these Bike Friday bikes are so cool but *this* is a real "life goals" bike for me! A folding tandem!

@HayiWena πŸ˜€ aw, shucks, that old thing? πŸ˜† I got the regen braking motor for a 2nd motor on the #umbrellaBike, but 2/3 passengers were a "very No" on riding in the front bucket/canopy, so I scrounged this #bikeFriday up off of craigslist and gave it that #GrinMAC so it wouldn't burn through rims + brake pads. My R&D budget is roughly the yearly cost of running a second car, and I got my first electric cargo bike for $4k in 2014, but I still have a day job and no welder, for now.

Hey Bike Friday owners! What are you favorite BF modifications, accessories, tips, or tricks?? I go pick up my new-to-me Bike Friday Pocket Rocket tomorrow and I'm pretty excited.

Aujourd'hui, c'est #bikeFriday
45min to change a tube on the rear wheel (motor hub) of the #BikeFriday tandem, with a few bike racks as a work stand 😞 slime tube πŸ‘Ž weak valve stem, I'm going to stick to conti with the metal stem. #BikeTooter
It's amazing how much faster the #bikeFriday tandem is with the fixed-geared #GrinMAC motor (max speed 22mph, maybe needs a field-weakening adjustment) vs the #supercargo with 350W 13mph assist w/clutch. No stoker/passenger, mostly downhill, but up Terwilliger to Condor, up Ankeny to the 20s. The heavier bike will go faster downhill but weaker motor vs mostly doing 20mph the whole time made 10-12 min difference even with me putting in much more work on the supercargo, cooler day etc. #eBikes
The Bike Friday Haul-a-day is such a versatile bike. It carries two kids or two bikes or heaps of cargo. It can stand vertical, fits on a train, it can extend and contract for different sized riders and come apart for packing.

I love this thing.

TIL 8-speed freewheels exist, and even maybe 11-34t ones, which would be wider range than the 11-28 cassette on my #bikeFriday tandem project. I was given a direct-drive motor with the thread-on freewheel mount that I thought would only be useful up to 7sp. Am I hallucinating, #BikeTooter? Are sellers listing things as "freewheel" because they don't know it's a cassette, or did sunrace etc actually start making these for the #eBikes motors that don't have a freehub / cassette mount?

Putting a tsdz2 on a #bikeFriday but then he doesn't fold it?? Please tell me that still works #BikeTooter. The hose clamp seems iffy but at least that direction is just holding the motor's weight vs any bumps you hit. The driving force of the motor is counteracted by pressing against the [brake/shift cables] seat tube in this case.
