@@danddietz aluminium by itself is highly recyclable but once you add in impurities like paint, plastic, etc., it becomes a much more intensive (and expensive) process to separate everything. I'm assuming they need a certain grade of material to make the extrusions for the frame, which means they have to be selective on the recycled materials they accept.

@@cargobikecrew Right. But we need aluminum for all sorts of stuff. So use virgin material for stuff like this and use the recycled material for non-structural products (like my can example). We do this with plastics (eg carpet). Isn’t that approach just as environmentally friendly?

@danddietz I see it as a bit of a gamble for them (given the price) to reduce their manufacturing impact on the environment. I guess it's a step up from "making nothing new ever again is best for the environment".

Our loan was through our local dealer who are only in Australia. You might want to try a test ride through a dealer in Hungary or you could try to contact Riese and Muller directly?

@cargobikecrew Yes yes, okay i Try, but i need a build or factory tour also!

@@timgearing5121 yeah that little bit extra would be nice in traffic. Probably be hard to get through with all the eScooter injuries and dramas at the moment 😥

Would be good for some kind of insurance to be made mandatory for higher speed vehicles.

@@asjeot I do like the concept in Germany (and other places) where the 45km/h speed versions need insurance and a specific moped license. Or even Japan where you can switch between 25km/h eBike for bike trails and eMoped mode if you flip down a numberplate (and have license and insurance).

@ we need to be careful about bikes and speed. At the moment the restriction is on power at 250 watts. Above that and the class changes to a moped. If it becomes about speed then it will involve every cyclist,even kids riding to school.

@timgearing5121 so true, and encouraging *more* kids to ride to school will hopefully turn the tide after they leave school..

Real time.

@kenghislee593 thanks! Will try and do some more trail rides soon 👍

Good tip - I've done this in the past. Apparently it helps protect the tube if the tire slips on the rim bead. To be honest, I've been lazy recently and haven't bothered with talc.. No issues so far 🤞

Yeah, the Big Bens are a pretty good all-rounder for lighter cargo bikes. We've got them on our Tern HSD as well and will probably keep them as it's never fully loaded. Cheers.

Thanks for the comment! Cargo bikes are such a great way to get kids out and about 😎

@@mbt20251 ahh I hadn't considered that factor - we rarely get below freezing in Melbourne! Sounds like you've had a good experience with these tyres?

@@cargobikecrew One week in and I'm happy so far. Fall is just coming up and I can aleeady feel a big difference in grip and cornering stability compared to the 20" Big Apple I had on before. It will be interesting to see how they will perform in snow. I had a few weeks last year where it felt too dangerous to take the bike with the Big Apples.

@@mbt20251 good to hear!

Yeah I posted a summary of the test over there too 👍
