Can you even buy an acoustic longtail #CargoBike these days with smaller rear wheel (ideally also with steel frame)? The only one I can find is the Yuba Mundo Lux, which has a 26" rear wheel. Terns and xtracycles are all bosch-equipped (booo proprietary frame!)
I get that covid and tariffs have cratered the US bike market, but surely someone's still out there selling a basic acoustic longtail without a high center-of-gravity.. heck, just the frame if necessary.
@Andres4NY #xtracycle kit
and a 80-90s 26” mtb? Very #interoperable
Not sure where you are but her in NorCal they are still found laying around
@woodenmachines The Yuba Mundo has 26" wheels, I was hoping for 24" or even better, 20". Like, the xtracycle swoop but minus the e-assist. There _are_ used options around (which I'm not opposed to), but I'm really surprised at how difficult it is to find *new* bikes that have my basic requirements.
I can't even find non-eassist bikes on xtracycle's site!
@Andres4NY yeah xtracycle only does e-bikes now. Should have clarified used, I see the kits or modded MTBs come up on Craigslist often.
I’ve come across two Yubas with cracked frames in the last year. Boda Bodas I think.
