SF is not the most tandem friendly city. Every hill gets magnified 10x with a 50lb load in the back that puts out inconsistent power.:D
Thinking of retrofitting in a motor as I am looking to use it to take my son to school this coming year.
Any experience with electric motor installation? Looking at BionX as a possibility.

I just came back from a 21-mile ride with my nearly 5 year-old stoker... And I'm wrecked! Steep hills hurt.

Your stoker has so few bad habits to unlearn. Next time bring him to Boston with you...

Yes, he needs to work on using those glutes!

A kid on the back of a tandem is why God invented triple cranks, speaking from experience. As you know, it's worth it.
