Thoughts regarding Tenways Longtail Duo?
Hi everyone!
I've been riding one or two children on a Chinese longtail (Engwe LE20 passengers) and I'm mostly happy with it. Long range, suspensions, comfy,... It has however two issues: the stand is ill-designed (too short and too narrow) and the strong forces acting on the chain cause it and the cassette to wear out quickly. In other words, my use of it makes it a heavy maintenance bike.
Considering these drawbacks, I'm envisaging to switch to a Longtail Duo hoping to significantly reduce the maintenance thanks to the belt system.
My intended daily usage: 35-40 km, bringing normally one child to school, riding further to work on mostly flat ground (couples of short hills), city environment, low quality streets and some cobblestones. EU country. My requirements: suspension, 80+ Nm torque, belt, longtail format. Nice to avoid: Bosch (personal prejudice).
What do some users of this bike think? Good or bad idea? Any relevant personal experience?
Many thanks in advance for your swarm intelligence!
