Accessories and Vehicle choice Matters
Choosing a bike to take on life's logistic challenges is a challenge in and of itself.
While cars are costly to your wallet, the environement and society at large, they're no-brainers. Most things fit in them without much thought. We're trained to use them and choosing accessories is fairly straight forward.
Bikes, by comparison, are precision tools. Choosing the right one, the right accessories is not straight forward. This is especially true today. We are in a micromobility renaissance. There's a million and one companies creating e-bikes. and another million and one accessories, components and gadgets for the bike. Sometimes lot's of choice is not a good thing.
We're here to help you make the most informed choice possible. We want to partner with you in your bike journey.
Hold on! Maybe You don't need something new
Ok, it's pretty easy to get excited about a shiny new cargo e-bike. A core concept of financial and ecological conservatism, however, is NOT buying things, not acquiring more.
