That looks like a great bag especially with the additional inserts to give it a more rigid shape and structure. There are a lot of additional accessories to add to the basic bag so I can imagine that the basic price will increase quite rapidly before you have a "complete" bag. Are there any prices available yet before the finished product is released? And a final thought on security.... Apart from those various straps which look like they can be quickly released in about a minute, is there any way to fully secure the bag so that you could actually walk away from your Bullitt to have lunch or a coffee or do your weekly supermarket shopping trip and expect it to still be there when you return? It's too big to take off, carry around with you and then have to reinstall. Unfortunately I don't live in Japan or Korea and I work in a job where I see the aftereffects of crime and theft every day.
Hi, thanks for your comment and thoughts on the bag. An overview of the prices can be found in the description of the video. As for any additional security for attaching the bag to the frame, I will inquire with Radical design
@@BicycleLoveWorld Thank you for your reply and it's a case of "oops" on my part for not reading the description. I nearly always do. OK, €610 for the full kit without the back pocket bags. I will look at your other bag video to compare. My thoughts on security in particular are because my main job involves my seeing the aftereffects of crime and theft all the time. So even though I'm paranoid, they are out to get you or your property! 😭 What about Bullitt or other cargo bikes made to fit standard Euro Containers? For example a 60 x 80cm standard euro container comes in different depths and they are stackable. It would be an ideal system for fully loaded containers to be readily transferable from a warehouse or truck to a cargo bike and vice versa. Or even for personal use. I know some bike trailer systems are built around accommodating euro containers. I'm actually on the look out for a couple of second hand 60 x 80's in different depths myself for a bike trailer I recently bought. I apologise for hitting you with additional questions out of the blue but this is something I have wondered about before and it seems like a perfect opportunity to ask someone who is obviously very knowledgeable about this subject. Regards. T.
@@tconnolly9820 the first bike that comes to my mind that fits Euro conatiners is Gleam. Do you know it? Check: gleam-bikes.com/ Currently I have a Rhino box on my Bullitt. I comes in different sizes and for different brands of cargo bikes. They can be locked. I will make a video about these boxes in the near future.
@@BicycleLoveWorld Thanks for the link. I had never heard of this bike / trike before and it really is a fabulously engineered vehicle. It's fascinating to see the variety of e-bikes and ingenuity that's out there. I absolutely immediately wanted one but then I looked at the prices. Prices ramp up quickly to over €9,000+ for any kind of cargo carrying configuration. And the total loading including driver is just 200kg. That's just me plus another 80kg. Not too bad I suppose but I would have hoped for more for such a sturdy looking machine. Great for last mile deliveries and safer for travelling in bad weather and especially icy conditions. A protective canopy option for the rider / driver would have been good for bad weather. But I could buy a second hand electric car that could carry four adults or considerably more cargo and travel further for less €. All kinds of e-bikes are unfortunately in reality greatly overpriced for what you actually get as far as I can see. Instead of all of these small niche independent manufacturers turning out these albeit great machines, we really need the Toyota's, Ford's, Volkswagen's and so on to step up and churn these out by the millions at half the price instead of these small independent manufacturers by just the hundreds or perhaps thousands. At half the price, I would have a Gleam tomorrow. You should make videos on other bikes like this and more.
Hi @@tconnolly9820! Thanks for your thoughts and questions! No solution for your crime-related question :) but, please realise that as you describe, the Radical Design Bullitt bag 'too big to take off and carry arround'. Besides that, as our bag is size wise, bigger then the bullitt bike frame, the bag hangs over the straps, so they are not visible. Hope this helps a bit! Greetings Kyra!
Excellent bag andbreview
