After weeks of looking at Bakfiets (bucket bikes) I realized what I actually needed was a long tail e-bike. My kids are BIG boys and it makes much more sense to put them on the back of my Veloe Lungo. Any tips for a new e-bike owner? 😅 gifted | #netherlands🇳🇱 #bikeculture #dutch #ebikestyle #americanabroad

This channel is outstanding It deserves more views.
How cool, congratulations on the electric bike! It makes cycling much easier and offers much more freedom in terms of distances. Spring has sprung this week, wonderful to go to the beach with the kids, no traffic jams or parking fees.
Wow! Now, with a bike, you’ll be a real Dutchie 😅 Congratulations!!
Great! Please don't park it in front of your house though (especially night time) as these get stolen a lot. A gps tracker may also be a good idea. PS remember you are parking thousands of dollars worth on the pavement so a simple big lock wont stop thieves. But enjoy your new bike. Congratulations 🥳
That is sooo wonderful and what a nice bike! Because you go faster now I want to say it it very important to know and follow the traffic rules for everyones safety
From soccer moms to e-bike moms! 😊
I would love to see how three kids balance on that. Question: is that a seat on the front or is that a shelf for a basket/groceries?
Warning!!! Dutch law (art. 58a lid lid 3 RVV 1990) says that children under 8 only can be transported on your bike if they are seated with a proper and safe support for their back, feet and hands!! In practice this means a certified children's seat.
Such a pretty green color. Will you be naming your new bike?
many save km's enjoy
Awesome ! e-bikes make all the difference with head wind. Hope you will enjoy your rides a lot, summer is comming, so lots of possiblities
I dig the bike. Where will you put the groceries?
You becoming Durch ❤
You can get theft insurance on your bike as well. I highly recommend so you can get your money back if someone steals it. Just make sure to read the fine print. Congrats on your new ebike! They're amazing!
Good choice 👍
One hour back by biking? Didn’t take the train back? 😮😮
You're not really integrated in our society until your bike gets stolen. Looking at this beautiful thing…. give it a month
Nice trip from The Hague to Leiden. Never seen these lontail bikes actually. Really nice!
Well done! Make sure you have good insurance and that your kids have bicycle helmets. 3 kids and one adult? Safety first !
Wow dat is een gaaf ding, gefeliciteerd met je aankoop🎉😊
Jan is a great guy indeed. Purchased a child MTB for my daughter last year and he was very helpful. Good choice
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Nice bike, enjoy
Bakfiets translates to “boxbike”, in the Anglosphere they’re usually called cargo bikes.
Bucket bike translates to “emmerfiets” 😂
Anyhow, love your take on the NL, and especially your observations re the cultural differences between 🇺🇸 and NL.
Have e-bikes impacted the Dutch life positively at all? I would have thought with all the flat surfaces it would be comparatively easy for most bike riders to pedal. They are also faster so does that add any danger to the situation?
