The place I bought the Bullitt from has a super badass assisted lift workstand. You can clamp a seatpost and raise a hundred pound e-cargo monstrosity with one finger.

My roommates shop only uses these stands. They’re so fucking cool.
I asked my business partner for one of these 3 times today. Fucking Babboes are a monstrosity of a bike
If your CycleTruck has a basket / rack level to the front of the tire you can tip it on end and do most drivetrain maintenance without a stand.
Particularly useful if you need to fix something out on the road.
Anyone try the Lorry yet to see if these dimensions work out?
Unfortunately it won’t really work for Crust Clydesdale fork because attached to fork instead of main triangle.
Interesting note: My Diatech headset seems to have a little bit of damage and created an indent when wheel is straight in-line with the frame. I will probably have to address it soon but I’ve noticed this damage does a great job keeping the bike stored vertically at home preventing the bars/wheel from rotating and flopping over.

See I can’t work with this. Because it means that goggles for a human would be Hoggles. But that’s obviously the word for pig goggles.

What if they’re goggles for girls? Then they’re giggles?
Your clear, obvious definition is ruining the portmanteau game.
like there’s the ‘tour de france’ and the ‘women’s tour de france’?
According to my dad, there’s geologists and lady geologists.
Mostly I just wanted to make a portmanteau that wasn’t and also was giggles, mostly for giggles, but partly for chuckles. Chiggles? Gickles?

If human goggles are goggles, dog goggles are obviously coggles, and cat goggles are boggles

Ah, so when I drink too much beer I get aoggles?
But doggles is a real, like, brand, man. I remember seeing them at our dirt mall in between the extinct computer parts place and the samurai swords place.

I worked on an e assist Babboe front loader today and went 28mph uphill using the throttle. It was terrifying. What was even more terrifying was going the same speed downhill with a drum brake.

Looking like the BIGANT is going to mate up to the Lorry pretty easily. It’s all 6mm hardware and a 1/2” p-clamp.
The crate has ribs on the underside right where the screw heads to attach the platform to the frame sit. Trying to decide now if I want to just clearance the ribs for the heads, drill through the bottom of the crate for full screw access, or go fancier and use longer screws, fender washers, and rigid spacers for four additional mounting points for the crate. That would make it easier to remove the rack in the future. Yeah, probably going to do that.
Clearance at the head tube is tight, but seems okay.

what part of the basket do the screws from the top line up with? never seen the kitty rack platform.
rigid spacers is a great idea but whatever you do just make sure there’s enough preload on the basket itself to keep it from readily rattling
