  1. Final words about #spezi #spezi2023 – I found it great to see such a range from highly polished and professional manufacturers like HP Velotechnik and AZUB Bikes to smaller, more crafty operations like Castro or Bends to the utter weirdness of Reiseradgabel topping out in a couple of inventors and enthusiasts who seem to be there only for the fun of it, without any imaginable path towards commercialization – a microcosm of nonconformism in the most nonconformist corner of #bikeCulture

  2. @oliverweinrich: Oh, das war mir jetzt gar nicht aufgefallen.

    Mein #MesseHighlight auf der #SPEZI2023 war ganz klar der #Brompton-#Umbau von #JunikHPV auf #Shimano #Nexus8 und #EBike mit #Velogical #VeloSpeeder Felgenmotoren: junik-hpv.de/arbeitsbereiche/b + velogical-engineering.com/fahr

    Damit sind meine Gedankenspiele um ein originales #BromptonElectric erstmal vom Tisch und ich könnte meine geliebte große C-Bag weiterverwenden.

    Und der #VeloSpring velospring-fahrradgriffe.de/ hat auch überzeugt. #SPEZI

  3. @maybeabattist: Only once tried (successfully and easily) unfolding the rear fork of the #BrauCycles #Cargobike. That was very #Brompton-like. Currently the cargo bed ist just a frame. Had the side bag of my KMX trike strapped to it. They said they tested it with 90kg load, but 70kg is the official (or recommended) maximum. Over 50kg load is said to make driving more difficult. A friend told me that he had similar load level experiences with the #Omnium. #SPEZI #SPEZI2023 #SPEZI23

  4. @ch_Nahon @maybeabattist: #BrauCycles is at #SPEZI this year! I did a short test ride on it! Riding feels rather different compared to a #Brompton despite many (small) Brompton parts (fasteners, gear switch, etc.) being used. You can push it with the folded-in rear wheel. In comparison to the Brompton it does not block in that position. And it has 20" wheels and a stand at the size of and below the cargo bed. #SPEZI23 #SPEZI2023
