You can level it out, I had it set to the 700c mounting point.

I see now you can get the front rack individually (which is awesome bc its WAY cheaper than the other current offerings in the states)…

I see the stock setup has it reclined quite a bit. Is the angle pretty fixed by the mounting gear? Or can you level it out by changing mounting points?

Looking to put it on a 700c bike… hows the clearance? Think it will fit?

Val,
Is the Cargo-T seatpost and frame size the same as the Personal Delivery? I had a Batavus Personal Delivery available for a test ride (oddly enough) and it fit me fine. I wanted to know because I plan to order the Cargo-T sight unseen.

Thanks!

Dan, the steerer lock isn’t for security…it’s to keep the front end from flopping around as cargo is loaded onto the front rack. I guess you could “fine tune” the lock depending on the load, but I haven’t played with the device in real life. It may just be On/Off.

I’m curious as to the function of the steerer lock. Is it just for security? Then why all of the adjustment points? Hope you cover this in the full review.

Val, thanks for offering your insight to the Cargo T. This bike is getting LOTS of positive attention around the Web…I hope one shows up in the Tampa area so I can test-ride it!

That is a beautiful heavy duty bike. It is a bit lighter than the Yuba Mundo, but looks every bit as tough. I am surprised Batavus would allow a Chinese knock-off of their bike to be made. I wish I had some heavy cargo to haul, so I could buy one of these Torker T’s. Question: does the front tire have those little ridges on it to grip a dynamo’s wheelie thing?

That’s a GREAT looking bike! We need millions of them here in the US. I particularly like the little horizontal “bottom tube” on the frame. Perfect for picking the bike up when the need arises.

Thanks for clearing that up. Lovely bikes, the personal bikes. I just wish they did the cargo in 7 or 8 speed.
