Can any of you see yourselves on a busy street on a carrybike?

I like the novelty of the a-bike, but the thought of being seen on one of those just makes me cringe.

Odly enough, it may be a perfect thing for me to have soon, as I am trying to move within 3 blocks of my work. I will sometimes need hauling capacity to the nearby markets that the a-bike lacks.

Amuro Lee, your my hero. Thanks indeed for all those pics.

Yes I long for to test one and to try it out locally and in the Big City exclusive Malls and shops to see their reactions. The Train and Busses. Would they see it as ok.

I guess it is not the greatest ride though. I have 12" wheels on my old folder and even they are rather small. 8" is very small.

Well I hope somebody import it to Europe so it is easy to buy for us here.

the Carry bike
Hi, that one is maybe not good to ride but very practical when one go shopping round the corner. Folded it would be allowed into any kind of Shop I hope. It isn't expensive either but maybe only sell in that country?

wish I had much much money I could by a batch and start selling them here in northern Europe. I guess one have to buy very many of them to make it go round?

the pictures show they use one spiral suspension? on each front wheel.

wish they had those in close up picture so one could see how it is done.

It is a fun concept. I long for one just for the "novelty" the "Look at me and my new Bike" attention effect.

Does the JD Razor have a front freewheel (at the cranks) or a rear freewheel?

Also, where did you get the part from? It seems that many of the strange parts on these minibikes aren't really so strange. They're just go cart/scooter parts instead of bike parts.

For example, both the A-bike and the Carry-me use a 1/4" pitch chain and sprocket, which can be ordered from any one of these vendors:
robotcombat dot com
smallparts dot com
mfgsupply dot com

Although I'm still looking for a source of replacement chainrings and freewheels for my Carryme. So please share your source.

You asked about the JD Rajor. I've used one for 18 months. 8" wheels, nice ride. About 25 lbs. Does not fold. Bars drop down. Had to hand-cut the old handlebars because they did not fold, suck out. (This picture is wrong - it is not the bike they shipped!).

Beautiful frame.

However it has a fatal flaw: the freewheel. It is an orphan part. Mine gave out on me and froze the gears. No cycle shop in the world carried a replacement. Bike mechanics said it was junk! It could not be rebuilt. I went on the web to find a similar part. Only one shop carried a similar part, not associated with the JD Razor at all. Luckily I found a substitute, the freewheel for a motorized mini-cycle. Even that relacement was , er, substandard. The gears still grind out, the freewheel has locked up several times (stop, and rewind!), the gears are not really capable of re-lubrication, and are unreliable.

The lesson here is that there are many mini-bikes. Be sure to check out the availability of gear/shifter parts first. If they are odd, you can not fix it. Better to get an A-bike (all parts are available) or a multi-gear bike with standard parts.

It's Rintendo (輪天堂), not Nintendo (任天堂) actually. :wink:
