Hi all - I have an electric cargo bike with a box on the front. Over time, the brakes have been heavily used. I’ve spoken to Bradford Active Travel Hub and they suggested we do a brake bleed, new hydraulic oils, and in addition brake pads if needed. Also the light fixed on one side.

I tried contacting All Terrain Cycles at Salts Mill, but they can't work on a bike like this as they wouldn't be able to get it lifted up onto their racks.

I wondered if anyone had any ideas of who or where might be able to help?

Thanks
Kristian

Hi Kristian
I have an electric recumbent trike. I bought it from Get Cycling in York. They are specialists in inclusive cycling. They have an eyelevel ramp for examinations and repairs It is a distance but worth checking

Chevin Cyles in Otley (and Harrogate) sell cargo bikes, including a Trek model with a box on the front. So, presumably, they can service them too. 

 (I have also used Get Cycling in York; they are very helpful, and next door to Cycle Heaven.)

Hi Kristian, 

Again, it's quite a long way to travel, but A Different Gear in Sheffield are also e-cargo bike specialists for sales and repair (https://www.adifferentgear.com/cargo-bikes). They have heavy-duty electric stands that can support the weight of a front loader.
