Luggage capacity: We have measured the volume behind the seat by filling it with foam chips. This volume was 120 litres. There is still a bit more storage space under and beside the seat, another 40 litres. For a couple of pictures of the foam and camping gear see the August-september 2006 update.

Suspension: the two rear wheels have a composite spring providing over 5 cm of travel. Spring stiffness can be modified to suit the rider. Front wheel has no suspension but is fairly lightly loaded so we fell it is not necessary.

Power assist option available.
