Wow, this is cool. I don't understand the bottom bracket attachment part. The photo shows the crank arm completely off -- which would take a lot more than 20 seconds! but the video doesn't.
- dmckeon 8y agoIt looks like a mount is attached to the bottom bracket, perhaps by a bike shop if the owner is inexperienced with that sort of work, then the cargo bike can easily be attached to and detached from the mount. There are more videos, one of which explains the bottom bracket topic, but note they are from 2016, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zL0tbVtr_Ow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zL0tbVtr_Ow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuaJBlpTBKY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuaJBlpTBKY @justinator, any context for the apparent dual naming of: argobikes.com and liftbikes.com ?
- justinator 8y agoProbably just a trademark dispute and changing of names (from Lift to Argo), but that's only a guess. Perhaps to differentiate it from Lyft, since ride sharing companies are getting into the city bike rental biz?
- jacquesm 8y agoInitial mounting and setup will be a couple of hours, they talk about the time it takes to convert the bike back-and-forth once all setup and mounting are done. This is a bit deceptive but that does not diminish that it is a good product, please note my comment in the other thread about connecting the Argo to Aluminum bikes. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17486836 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17486836
- wool_gather 8y agoI didn't mean to say that it was deceptive at all. I just can't figure out what I'm missing.
- jacquesm 8y agoThere is another page on their website where they talk about the initial setup: https://argobikes.com/pages/for-bike-shops https://argobikes.com/pages/for-bike-shops
