WorkCycles

WorkCycles Fr8 Crossframe, customized a bit for its very very tall new owner: 2.10m (6'11" in Freedom Units). The same day a 200kg (440lbs!) customer brought his Fr8 for routine maintenance.

The Fr8 might be the only bike on the earthball capable of fitting such diverse sized riders and handling their weight and forces with ease and safety.

PS: The Crossframe isn't currently in production but we do have one last new one and a refurbished model in the showroom.

Finally! We have the perfect battery to _convert_ your WorkCycles Fr8 to electric assist. This unit fits perfectly behind the seat tube and swings out to the left side for charging.

Over the past couple years we've converted dozens of existing Fr8's with our excellent Bafang BBS02 based system. It's smooth, reliable and easily serviced. It's also basically "open source" enabling us to refine the programming and choose components that suit our bikes and customers needs.

The downside was the lack of a good battery that fit in the Fr8's frame. We solved this on the production Fr8 MAD by modifying the frame. Converting a Fr8 meant putting the battery in the front crate or on the rear carrier, acceptable to some but not ideal.

Those dark days are over! After a long wait we finally have this great, new battery. Not only does it fit the Fr8 frame perfectly it's also a quality piece built for the rigors of commercial use. All of the PostNL Fr8's will use this battery.

Relevant facts:
1. We can only convert bikes locally in our A'dam workshop. We do not sell the kits uninstalled. Please don't ask.
2. How to inquire? Call, mail or visit with your bike.
3. This conversion is performed very neatly and to WorkCycles quality standards. It's labor intensive and bikes often have to be upgraded and/or repaired in the process. You guessed correctly: It's not cheap.
4. Expect the conversion to cost roughly €2000, give or take a couple hundred euro depending on the bike and it's condition.
5. Like all repairs at WorkCycles the conversions are done by appointment. We usually complete the installation in one day.

Twitter has sadly devolved into a soap opera about Twitter so I've set up a Mastodon account: [email protected]. I'm basically clueless about how it works so go find us and help us build another online community. Tips and suggestions are very welcome!
