after a very long time , i'm gonna start a build thread in the hopes that this ones knock on steel, would fare better.
some background, i've ordered the paratrooper pro because i wanted a full size folding bike that would stealthy as well train mountable, as luck would have it, just recently israeli train , declared that even foldable with wheel size larger then 20" (yes 20!) are not allowed on rush hour, which kind pissed a lot folks off, but still, i could also put in a cab.
i wanted BBSHD, as it's most stealthy mid-drive there is, i personally smuggled it form the states, (from doug's ebikes-california)
i've had to order the paratrooper form the states, as the "official" israeli importer, stopped ... well. importing them regularly 3 months ago, so i go them from safecastle.
so here it is: well, the package.
the paratrooper allready came half-assembled, which is kind of a blessing,
there several questions that still plague me:
* will be able to install the tektro hydro brakes, (they may have an adapter i won't be able to fit on this thing)
* will the 46T lekkie bling ring have enough clearence.
* will i able to fit my regular triangle battery (just got a triangle bag which seems just the right size) or create a new rectangular one, and fit it on the back rack.
* will it work?
* is star trek discovery really worth my time?
