Rohloff Speedhub @Bullitt FastCargoBike

Supported by Rohloff AG/ Fuldatal we adapted a Rohloff Speedhub (14 internal gears) into a Bullitt FastCargoBike, made by LarryvsHarry, Denmark.
This merger of two exclusive brands was even logical. A lot of clients already asked for that combination, but due to production logistic reasons there was so far no way to buy a Bullitt bike with that exclusive propulsion system.
But as E-Mobility-Systems, Portugal dedicated it´s activities not only to electric solutions, we thought about an individual package for clients, who wish to ride a Bullitt with a Speedhub. On Eurobike 2009 we discussed the case with the technicians from Rohloff and we sorted out the basic frame, that would fit. We decided to use the external gear version of the Bullitt MilkPlusand built it up with a Speedbone as a mounting support for the external shifter unit.
The parts fitted perfectly and the whole solution is – apart from being a technical beauty – 100% compatible.
We will test this bike soon under real conditions. Actually we ride it with a BionX electric conversion Kit setup.
After conclusion of these tests, we will check the Rohloff/Bullitt combination and post more pictures.

Due to a server switch our blog was more or less paralysed in a parallel-world for two weeks. No EUROBIKE internals as I promised, no pictures, but a lot of file back up, directory re-naming and so on…

Means, that the files were on two different servers and everything has to be copied and administrated. And last not least, there were bureaucratic steps to solve, till everything was authorized.

Conclusion:

Nothing that I wish to repeat every month.. :-)

Advice: I started today to review the categories and tags of this blog, to bring them in a helpful order. Got some interesting articles about that subject, I found on the web: A + B. Anyway, this is not totally done and not every post is being new categorized, yet. Posts that are only marked as “General” are still pending to be reviewed…

 

What happened meanwhile?

  • I continued working on the Bullitt cargobike with BionX electric engine (99% done)
  • A Rohloff 14 – gear hub for the cargobikes reached our workshop (Something nice to look at and a tecnical toy of high standard – will be tested as soon as possible)
  • I visited the Portugal Bike Show in Santarem. (very interesting, will write some review later)
  • We did some promo tour in Lisbon to find dealers, who are brave and innovative enough to sell commuter bikes instead of MTB´s (I am still searching…)  ;-)
  • I was invited to one year ciclo-via.org in Lisbon. Nice meeting, nice people, a lot of bicycle-talk and: Bike Polo.. (Target: I must learn riding a fixed gear)
  • A Fixie-Inc. Single-Speed/Fixed-gear beauty was being sent by Cycles for Heroes to our workshop: A 2009er BlackJack (my favorite toy and exercise bike – see above –  for this weekend)
  • I attended Critical Mass meeting of cyclists in Porto with the Bullitt (Great event, nearly 45 people joined us – including a bunch of freestyle hard-core riders, who made the show..)

I’ ll be back!
