Those ones look so heavy and complicated. I think they need to switch to the Bullitt. Design a yellow box for them with the German post logo on it and it will fly. No need for an engine. http://www.larryvsharry.com/bike/clockworkstraight.jpg . Those ones look so heavy and complicated. I think they need to switch to the Bullitt.

It's designed to fold straight when the bike is resting on it so the weight is on the support frame and not on the hinges. A lot of these bikes have electric assist with a hub motor in the front wheel and two massive batteries on the back. This one has the cages for the battries but they're empty. BTW 'Deutsche Post' means German Post, not Dutch. :) We have these in our village although I haven't seen one with a trailer yet. The postpersons operating them say they couldn't move the bikes without the motor when loaded. @Rod: From memory it folds back with a spring pulling it up and folding it.

Would love to see the reaction of rolling this in front of a few of the mailmen in my neighborhood. It wouldn't be pretty.
