I'd sure reconfigure that tensioner to push up to tension the chain. Signed, Skip

Looks nice, I just bought a KLR 650 adventure this past July. It is in direct competition for attention to my Specialized Stump Jumper Comp.
My next bike with be a enduro e-bike. My buddy has a Kenevo with a boxxer that is awesome.
That is the problem. I sold my BMW a few years ago and miss it. But, never had time to mtb and ride the motorbike-while still spending time with the family and house work. So really, only rode my mountain bikes when I did have some free time. I think this thing will be a nice compromise between the two.
If I didn't have to work so much. I'd have time for all the toys, I couldn't afford!
Just snagged this for the kiddo. He’s crushing the balance bike so it’s time.

After having a major surgery involving five cervical spine vertebrares I switched to a recumbent trike, ultra comfortable and fast. That's a 700 rear wheel to give an idea of its height.
Thanks! I was pleasantly surprised with the pricing and shipping from BlueLug in japanJust got a SimWorks bar as well recently.

How do you like the shotgun seat? Its time to update my daughters seat from the Thule yep mini seat to one like the one you have. The shotgun seat is the main one i was looking at since ive got a CF Frame
Its been really solid.
Purchased new from REI. top of the line model, for a carbon frame and a dropper post. Comes with hardware to 'quick' mount to another bikes steerer tube ( an in-stack spacer).
Easy to install, and adjust. The e-mtb was purchased with the intent to take him on trails early and get him up to speed on singletrack without the worry of having to hike a bike out with him, his strider, and my mtb. XL frame for reference. He gravitated towards it very quickly, and we never used any sort of secondary attachment to it (chest harness like we use on the radwagon) He rides the wagon with assist of a chest harness and handlebar ( until his mobile napping and general impulse control improve).
We end up riding it to/from his daycare more often than using it on singletrack but he loves to ride up front vs the yepp seat that was on the radwagon (as is currently on his moms e-bike).
NOTES:
- the setup isn't fullface friendly (for the pilot), which I would like the protection for both of us due to the speeds of the emtb, the top of his helmet is too close to my chin for a fullface, but still plenty close for use with a 3/4 or half-face. I can't get more upright of a body position to open up the distance, so I just have to watch out when he wants to peg-stand ( and/or peg-stand myself) .
- On the e-mtb, the downtube is quite wide ( as its got the earlier shimano battery in it, and the stirrups rub the frame when fully extended) which is the only way i've ever had it setup, and I've got some 3M frame protectant patches I put in there.
That said, every kid is different, and he has outgrown the yepp in weight and just about in height, which is also putting him at the upper reaches of the limits of the shotgun. Kind of a bummer, as there aren't many other options at his size but to ride his strider.
So this seat will likely go for sale at some point in the coming months, to motivate him towards the strider ( which has the BB/pedal insert) to get him moving faster on his own accord.

reminds me of a GEM I had back in 2011. Alpenrose Velodrome here in Portland had the GT GTB as their rental fleet for many years, and cleared them all out back in that time, I purchased several for myself and friends, this one didnt have a toptube dent as customary for rental track bikes. Hand-painted carbon wheels by a friend. Long since gone.

What’s the story on the van? I’m not familiar with those.

Looks like a mid-90s Hiace. They are pretty sweet! I see them on occasion in my area.
Thanks for asking. RHD JDM imported 3.0L turbo diesel.
Confirm. 1997 Toyota Hiace. Full-time 4WD, 8 seats. Ours is in full passenger mode, with minimal external overlanding accessories beyond 2" lift, Pluto bullbar, oversized tires. ironman drawer system in the trunk. Lots of them in the PNW.
