Looking for current and past Haul LT owner feedback.
I am considering buying a Haul LT to ditch and replace my primary car for this cargo bike as my daily errand runner around town. I also own a Jeep for my long-distance, inclement weather trips and as an adventure vehicle where I would occasionally want to take the Haul LT camping to use on unimproved gravel roads and dirt trails.
I prefer and like this cargo bike in comparison to the other alternatives for its larger durable tube-structure frame, thick wide tires, and maximum storage area.
However, I have some concerns. I am interested to know if current/past Haul LT owners regret their purchase from the widespread problems being reported relating to battery, connectivity, app issues and reliability.
My worry is that the super-proprietary nature of the electronics and lack of compatibility with aftermarket parts to repair the bike's buggy flaws, combined with the eventual lack of software support from Globe and Specialized, will leave me with an 80lb bike that I can only peddle around without its electronic benefits after the warranty expires. I am pretty handy with tools and tinkering with electronics, but from what I read, even folks like me trying fix their own Hauls run into problems because working around the software is the prohibitive factor.
What feedback and advice would current and past Haul owners have for me?
Thanks in advance.
