Found in my local classifieds...

This time I've seen a funky e-cargo bike, model Zurrell CS100 (?), selling for 5k. It does not seem to have a lot of cargo capacity that a normal bike could not carry with some racks and baskets/panniers...

The Ca Go CS series...
It is designed to ride like a normal bike. In other words, it has a small turning circle and still has a low centre of gravity when loaded. To realise this, it has three pannier racks. A beer crate fits in the lower one, a Euro bakery crate on the front one (not mounted here) and a basket and panniers on the rear one (also not mounted). The steering is controlled by wire ropes and has a gear ratio so that it can be turned on the spot even when loaded.
They call the concept CUV, city utility vehicle.
Here it is with all the racks. 211-240613_CaGo_CS200-FS200_Düsseldorf-_1.webp Screenshot_20241002-165954_1.webp
 
After a long while, this weekend the local classifieds was full of goodies...

First, a Porsche bike, starting at 2.2k, quickly down to 1.7k and decreasing... It looks pretty unused, I guess it was a present with the car the owner had no interest in using

Another "car-bike", in this case a balance bike from BMW, yours for 35€. The fake carbon panels of the sides are, as expected in a kids bike, full of scratches. Luckily no catastrophic failure expected ;-)

Finally, a very original BMX. Hard to see if the frame is metal or plastic. I forgot the price, I think it was 20€. At least it looks cool, but it won't last with a very energetic child...
