Any parent knows the WWII bomb style of putting a young one back in their cot. NOBODY MOVE OR MAKE A SOUND!

Auction the top caps as very rare items for extortionate but self-inflicted prices.

Then start a production run due to high demand. And give some away as prizes (paid for by auction).

The only redeaming feature of another really heavy ugly ebike, which is destined for a towpath near you is the rear brake looks like a smiley face.

Depends on the child. No 1 yes, no 2 (who even at the age of 12 is a horrendous sack rat) when she was little, we could get her out of her car seat, clean nappy, into jamas and into bed without her stirring.

for lever placement

exactly that. By the time you’ve stuck grips on and positioned your brakes for one finger braking that is likely where your clamps will be. I wouldn’t trust them without measuring though

Brage needs to get down to Swinley Forest. The dusty red trail skinnies would be perfect for his next project
