Someone got a tow rope for Christmas......

[Gareth-OJ]

A certain member of the family bought my Child a stretchy tow rope for Christmas!
What's the consensus on using it with my XL Amflow pl ?

He weighs about 40kg and rides a small fs Vitus... Should i or shouldn't I ?

Why wouldn't you ?

 

[steve_sordy]

Of course you should! There is more than enough power to spare.
I used to do that with my bike-mad grandson before electric bikes were even a thing. It got the boy out and about into areas that he coud not otherwise access. It was great fun for both of us. It will be payback time before too long though!

I used to tow my daughter up until she got her own Eeb, its an awesome thing. They love it.

I just would have an eye on strain to the drivetrain so maybe do not use smallest cog combined with turbo mode to tow your kid up the hills because the Amflow power wise wouldn't mind it. Prefereably high cadence, low gear ratio so you don't need a new cassette and chain at easter.

Stellar way to get the crew up the hill!

 

[Gareth-OJ]

Thanks for the replies, I will stop worrying and give it a go.

I towed granddaughter a few times up local hill no problem she loved it. No issues with levo

Do plenty of towing here too with my Levo. If you've got one that loops over the saddle nose like mine be careful over steep slope crests.

I've heard of groups carrying TowWhee ropes in case someone's eBike becomes disabled (battery, motor. etc.).

I was impressed with a clever kit for towing. Using 2 boke tubes one on the bars of tale end caboose and one looped through and attached to the seat post, the flex made for a smooth tug.

I always have a mtb tow strap with me.

Curious what you're using? I've heard of TowWhee and innertubes.

These guys tried it with a single tube:

I got the cheap one through Amazon. We did a test tow, and it worked, thankfully it resides in my pack with no usage.

I had the earlier version of this TRAX PRO – TraxBike it was very good.

There are loads of different suppliers on Amazon, take some time and you'll eventually find the cheapest price.

This looks interesting although probably more likely to go wrong...
