I have an extracycle currently and love it. I am so happy with it I just ordered a big dummy frame. I am considering build up with 650b or 700c wheels any down side? how is the handling with the 700′s.

Thanks,
Sean

‘angry customer’ has been spamming these false and libellous accusations on numerous blogs against wheelhousebikes.com.

I paid close to $2,000 for what I thought was a real dutch bakfiet bike from
http://www.wheelhousebikes.com only to find out it is a $150 Chinese knockoff. Avoid wheelhouse bikes like the plague.

What happened to integrity?

I am thinking of starting up a Cargo Bike Club, which sort of bikes would you recommend, longtail utility bikes or Dutch/Danish style box bikes?

The Dummy rules! Versatility, and ride comfort set the Surly Big Dummy apart from the other cargo bikes mentioned. The Ute is okay for some but doesn’t hold a candle concerning loads or balance.

I’ve posted a review and video of Kona’s new Electric Ute at http://mycargobike.net/2010/06/15/first-look-at-the-kona-electric-ute .

I will amend my previous comment: Yuba now offers an electric motor option (elMundo), and Kona is about to introduce the Electric Ute. I compare the two and my Rans Hammer Truck here: http://mycargobike.net/2010/05/27/dawn-of-the-u-s-cargo-bike-revolution

I regularly haul kids and groceries up steep hills in Seattle using my Rans Hammer Truck with a BionX motor. It works really well! You can see a video of the bike in operation at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIea5W4U8Wc

I also write a blog about the bike and my experiences at http://www.MyCargoBike.net

I’ve been disappointed that there aren’t more of these bikes on the road. At this point the cargo bike + electric motor configuration is still a custom build. I would love to see this category expand with an offering from a manufacturer.
