Trueing a 20” wheel from our Tern cargo eBike after replacing 3 broken spokes. My wife and I use it as a pseudo tandem. Possibly overloading the rear wheel by using it for 2 adults. If we continue to experience spoke breakage I may need to consider a more robust fix.
I’m not super confident in the hub either. It appears to be made by a Taiwanese company named Quando. 32 hole, 148 mm axle spacing, solid axle. Not sure where I’d find a hub that matches.
@bosquebill@techhub.social I see it.
@NNN@bettercities.top Interesting article. It’s definitely an issue.
I’m 74. Sadly, my wife has early-onset Alzheimer’s so had to give up her driver’s license. We live in a postwar suburb. Some facilities (healthcare & grocery shopping) are a little closer to us. I definitely wonder what happens if at some point I can’t drive.
One thing that works for us is we acquired a cargo eBike. She rides on the back while I pedal. We can get to many of our appts and shopping trips on the bike. Luckily there’s a bike path
