Unsurprisingly, you will need to acquire the steering cables.
They come direct from Douze and are sealed units so there is no possible adjustments

I have to give Schwalbe a public apology as I was previously saying that their cargo specific tyres - the Pick Up - were making the front end of my Douze feel super heavy.

I had all 4 steering cables replaced by London Green Cycles and they were the issue - not the tyres.

Now my steering issues are rectified, the tyres feel great.

Only logging in to get an update on this.
No update :-(

Last chance before the forks head to eBay & the frame heads to the metal recyclers!

what do people reckon the best locks are for a cargo bike?

I have:

1. a D1000 Hiplok - https://hiplok.com/product/hiplok-d1000-anti-angle-grinder-bike-lock-waitlist/
   
2. a Kryptonite NEW YORK FAHGETTABOUDIT CHAIN 1415 - https://www.kryptonitelock.com/en/products/product-information/current-key/999492.html
   
3. a Monimoto Tracker - https://monimoto.com/uk/shop/
   
4. Insurance
   
   

Still feels like it isn't sufficient in London!

No problems, hope you find something!

eBay prices are NUTS!

They are £3.49 new from CRC

I still have this somewhere!

You can order straight from Douze & they charge RRP so it's their dream situation.

My Douze is going for a service at London Green Cycles this Friday so I will ask if they still stock

I received my Douze Eco box in France today.

All very lightweight!

I offered to send them to MadJax so he can copy them.

Please note the child seat kit only includes 1x bench so if you want the 2x benches set up, you'd need to order 2x.

Loads on the floor everywhere so you'd be doing estate agents a favour

Yes, mine is a 2017 V2.
Didn't know there were V1 models in the UK

Garden Office / storage is from Expandakabin.

It's 3.3mx2.1m galvanised, insulated, double glazed uPVC window, electricity switchboard (current value £4,560 new).

It can be fully dismantled, biggest piece being the roof.

Douze sells adaptor brackets for various e-drives.

Actually asked for a quote for an EP8 mount last week.

"kit de motorisation Shimano EP8, nous avons les brides de stock au prix de 266,33€ (hors frais de port)."

New Enviolo hubs are to be released at the end of September so that should sort out the quality standards.

If the freewheel is dead, the pedals will spin without any of pawls engaging. No sounds or creaks.

Simple enough to replace it if you can locate the part.

Surprised they wouldn't diagnose & fix it.

Don’t know how much an enviolo hub costs.

Here is a screenshot from my Enviolo trade account (you just need to be VAT registered to access)

This eBay seller has loads of Nuvinci parts

Thanks @amey

I was actually speaking with Enviolo this week.

They are releasing cargo bike specific hubs at the end of September - capable of holding 100Nm of e-torque + 300kg of cargo weight - BEASTLY!

In the meantime, they have an Enviolo HD (heavy duty) priced at 220€. Fitting kit & bits come to about 80€.

@urbs
Nuvinci & Enviolo are intercompatible so why don't you pick a cheap & cheerful Nuvinci hub or complete wheel on eBay?

@VeloSurMer - Is the EP8 Cargo Drive Unit (DU-EP801-CRG) available in the UK?

https://bike.shimano.com/en-EU/product/component/ep8-ep801cargo/DU-EP801-CRG.html

If so, what sort of price point?

The harvest in Champagne is looking promising this year so really looking forward to it!

I rarely do linked deliveries so have never left the bike alone with goods in so not an issue having the Ecobox.

Yes, ordered from France direct & delivered to France as well (I am going over next Tuesday for 2 weeks for the grape harvest).

Try to email carine@douze-cycles.com for a price request.

I will have space in the van to bring it back over to London on Friday 9th September, if that saves you any money.

And yes, the Alulock case & fitting kit will be retired!

Just ordered the Douze "ECO Box" & kids kit for the 800mm chassis.
Did not take the canopy as I thought 399€ was punchy.
